Apple recently launched their new M1 iPad Pro 12.9, and now we get to find out more details about what is inside the device in a new video from iFixit.
The guys from iFixit take the new iPad Pro apart in the video below. The focus of the video is to find out more information on the new mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display that is used in the device.
Apple’s M1 system-on-chip seems to be making its way into all of their products, and perhaps most excitingly it’s made it into the 2021 iPad Pro. That officially puts the new iPads Pro on par with the latest MacBook Air, Pro, and iMac in terms of computing power, and that’s not even the most exciting upgrade! The 12.9-inch iPad Pro now has a fancy new display technology called mini-LED, which is what we’ll be dissecting in this video.
Unpacking the M1 Chip
The M1 chip is a significant leap forward for the iPad Pro, bringing desktop-class performance to a tablet. This chip integrates an 8-core CPU, an 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine, which together deliver incredible performance and efficiency. The M1 chip allows the iPad Pro to handle complex tasks such as 4K video editing, 3D design, and augmented reality applications with ease. This level of performance was previously only available on high-end laptops and desktops, making the iPad Pro a versatile tool for professionals and creatives alike.
Exploring the Mini-LED Display
The mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display is another groundbreaking feature of the new iPad Pro. This display technology uses over 10,000 mini-LEDs grouped into more than 2,500 local dimming zones. This allows for incredibly high contrast ratios, deeper blacks, and brighter highlights, making it ideal for HDR content. The display also supports a wide P3 color gamut, ensuring accurate color reproduction for photo and video editing.
The mini-LED technology is a significant improvement over traditional LED displays, offering better performance and energy efficiency. This is particularly important for a portable device like the iPad Pro, as it helps to extend battery life while delivering stunning visuals.
In addition to the M1 chip and mini-LED display, the new iPad Pro also features improved cameras, 5G connectivity, and Thunderbolt support. The front-facing TrueDepth camera system now includes a 12MP Ultra Wide camera with Center Stage, a feature that automatically keeps you in frame during video calls. The rear camera system includes a 12MP Wide camera, a 10MP Ultra Wide camera, and a LiDAR scanner for enhanced augmented reality experiences.
The inclusion of 5G connectivity ensures that the iPad Pro can take advantage of the fastest wireless networks available, providing faster download and upload speeds, lower latency, and improved streaming quality. Thunderbolt support allows for faster data transfer speeds and compatibility with a wide range of peripherals, including external storage devices, displays, and docks.
