Apple Announces New iPad Pro with M2 chip and Wi-Fi 6E

Apple has just announced the new sixth-generation iPad Pro. The company's latest flagship tablet is powered by the M2 chip that first debuted in the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro earlier this year. From a report: It'll be available in the same two screen sizes as before: you can choose between 12.9-inch and 11-inch sizes. Preorders open today and it'll be in stores on October 26th starting at $799 for the 11-inch and $1,099 for the 12.9-inch model. As with the 2021 refresh, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro features Mini LED display technology for improved black levels, better contrast, and more impactful HDR performance, while the smaller model sticks with a more basic screen. Both support Apple's ProMotion feature for refresh rates up to 120Hz. The new iPad Pro has a new "hover" feature that detects the Apple Pencil when positioned slightly above the screen. Apple says this lets users "see a preview of their mark before they make it."
