The iPad Pro 2024 lineup is now official in its full OLED glory. Apple"s flagship tablets are now thinner and more powerfu, they feature significantly upgraded displays and, sadly, notably increased price tags.
For potential buyers, the best part is that the 2022 lineup with the M2 processor is still available in various retailers, so expect some discounts on them until stock clears. With that in mind, if you wonder what the difference is between the iPad Pro 2022 and the iPad Pro 2024, here is our list of everything new in the iPad Pro 2024 lineup:
- Tandem OLED displays (two OLED panels fused together for one brighter display) with up to 1,600 nits brightness (HDR)
- Improved Adaptive Pro Motion with 10-120Hz refresh rate
- Optional configuration with nano-texture glass for reduced glare and reflection (comes with a polishing cloth in the box)
- Significantly thinner chassis (5.1mm)
- The new 10-core M4 chip
- 256GB base configuration instead of 128GB
- Only one rear-facing 12MP wide camera
- The front-facing camera is now on the longer side of the tablet for more natural video calls
- No physical SIM slot in Wi-Fi + Cellular configurations
- Four microphones instead of five
- A bigger battery in the 11-inch variant and a smaller battery in the 13-inch variant
- No charging brick in some countries
- New Space Black Color
- Both variants are now $200 more expensive
