The iPad Pro (2024, M4 series) brings Apple’s latest silicon and a new display approach to the iPad Pro lineup. Released in May 2024, this generation introduces the M4 chip, a thinner design, and Apple’s Tandem OLED screen—making it the most advanced iPad Pro to date. That said, if you’re coming from a model just one or two years older, the leap might feel like a (very shiny) incremental upgrade. Still, for heavy multitaskers, creatives, and those itching for top-tier tablet specs, this recent release is hard to ignore.
Key features:
- Release Date: May 2024
- Display: Available with 11-inch or 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR (Tandem OLED) display
- Processor: Apple M4 chip with advanced Neural Engine
- Camera: 12MP rear camera with wide lens; LiDAR scanner; 12MP ultra-wide front camera with Center Stage
- Build Quality: Aluminum chassis; record-thin and lightweight design
- Operating System: Ships with iPadOS 17
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6E enabled
Who is this for?
The iPad Pro (2024, M4 series) is best suited for creative professionals, designers, and power users who rely on advanced tools for photo/video editing, digital illustration, or demanding multitasking. The Tandem OLED display is great for those who value color accuracy, while the M4 chip makes 3D work, app development, and productivity a breeze. Compared to the iPad Air (2024), which offers robust performance at a lighter form factor, the Pro models lean into more niche, high-end needs—so if you’re mostly browsing, streaming, or sending emails, the Air might be a smarter (and less expensive) alternative.
