The vision for iPad has always been to create a single, magical piece of glass that can become whatever you want it to be. The new iPad Pro is the ultimate expression of that vision. Every aspect has been re-engineered with our most innovative technologies. It’s unlike any iPad before. Or for that matter, anything before.
The new iPad Pro features an all‑new, all‑screen design. But it’s not just any screen, it’s the most advanced display on the planet. And with less volume and more screen than ever, there’s more room to create, work, and watch.
The Liquid Retina display features industry‑leading color accuracy, so you see true‑to‑life color from one rounded corner to the other. Using a process called subpixel anti-aliasing, we rounded the corners by tuning individual pixels for smooth, distortion‑free edges. True Tone dynamically adjusts white balance so images on the display look natural and are easier on your eyes. And thanks to the lowest reflectivity in the industry, the display is clear and readable wherever you take your iPad Pro.
ProMotion technology automatically adjusts the display’s refresh rate based on what you’re doing for the most responsive performance possible. So whether you’re scrolling through pages in Safari, playing an intense 3D game, or drawing a complex illustration with Apple Pencil, everything feels utterly smooth, fast, and immersive.
For the new 12.9‑inch iPad Pro, we kept the same great screen size as the previous generation but reduced the overall volume of the device by 25 percent for maximum portability. And for the new 11‑inch model, we kept the footprint of the 10.5‑inch model but increased the screen size by pushing it all the way to the edges.
The technology inside iPad Pro has been completely redesigned to fit into less space while improving performance. Because the bezel size has been reduced to allow the display to get closer to the edge, we redesigned the 12‑megapixel camera to fit within the minuscule space directly behind the bezel. The speakers, antennas, and other components were also redesigned to fit inside the new iPad Pro, which is just 5.9 mm thin.
A new woofer and tweeter pair in each corner delivers wider stereo sound for a high‑fidelity, cinematic audio experience in any orientation, whether you’re watching a movie or on a FaceTime call with family. All with the thinnest speaker system we’ve ever designed. Go ahead and get loud.
Now on iPad Pro, Face ID delivers the world’s most secure facial authentication in a tablet or a computer. With just a glance, you can unlock your iPad, log in to apps, and make secure purchases. And Face ID on iPad Pro can recognize your face whether you hold it in portrait or landscape.
The TrueDepth camera system is composed of multiple innovative technologies. Working together in real time, they use a detailed depth map of your face to recognize you and only you in an instant. The camera system is unique to iPad, with a wide field of view that allows Face ID to work in any orientation. The TrueDepth camera also enables features like Portrait mode, Selfie Scenes in Clips, and Animoji and Memoji in Messages and Group FaceTime.
Simple, intuitive gestures help you get around iPad Pro entirely with Multi‑Touch. Simply tap the screen to wake iPad Pro. Swipe up from the bottom to reveal the Dock in any app. Swipe up and pause halfway to get to the App Switcher. And quickly swipe up from the bottom to get home from anywhere.
The new Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard Folio, and iPad Pro were designed as a single, magical system. Each component connects to iPad Pro seamlessly with the utmost portability. Together, they make iPad Pro a new, versatile type of computer that can be whatever you need it to be — a keyboard, a notebook, or a canvas.
The new Apple Pencil has been meticulously engineered to make writing and drawing as natural and simple as using a pencil, a highlighter, or a paintbrush. The ability to change tools just by double‑tapping makes Apple Pencil more capable, while wireless pairing and charging make it simpler than ever.
Apple Pencil attaches to iPad Pro magnetically to pair and charge, whether the tip is up or down. Simply place the flat part of your Apple Pencil on the right side of your device. You can charge your iPad Pro and Apple Pencil at the same time, so your Apple Pencil is always ready when inspiration strikes.
The new Apple Pencil is designed to be comfortable and natural to use. Now you can double-tap the area where your finger rests to change from brush to pen to highlighter with ease. The matte finish makes it easy to hold, like a classic writing tool, and the seamless design — no connectors or moving parts — makes it easy to store. You can even have your Apple Pencil engraved to really make it your own.
The new Smart Keyboard Folio attaches magnetically to the back of iPad Pro to provide protection. It delivers data and is powered through the Smart Connector — no batteries or charging required. Opening the front cover automatically wakes your iPad Pro. From there, simply unfold the keyboard when you need it, and fold it to create a thin and light cover when you don’t. And with two viewing angles, you can watch or work in whatever way is best for you.
