The new iPad Pro for 2021 is now official, and we've heard all of the details during the April 20 Apple event where the company also unveiled Apple AirTags, the new iMac and a purple version of the iPhone 12. An exact release date has yet to be revealed, but we likely won't know the exact release date until the company opens pre-orders - and even then it might not be an exact day globally. Apple has now included the M1 chip from the MacBook in the iPad Pro, so this should make it the fastest iPad ever and it has the potential to make this one of the best tablets on the market. Apple hasn't revealed any new accessories for the iPad Pro 2021, and instead, it will be using similar accessories to the previous products like the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil - though the keyboard will be available in a new white colour.
The specs being shown off by Apple include 1600 nits of peak brightness, a million to one contrast ratio and a 120Hz refresh rate. Its resolution is 2732 x 2048, and all that adds up to an OLED-rivalling level of display.
The iPad Pro 11-inch model is a touch lower in spec, with a more conventional LED screen, but it's still offering 600 nits of brightness and a resolution of 2388 x 1668. Both sizes have a pixel density of 264 pixels per inch.
As for the camera, the front-facing one has had an upgrade. It's now a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide one with a 122-degree field of view. The iPad Pro 2021 also has a 12MP f/1.8 main and 10MP f/2.4 ultra-wide camera on the back, just like the 2020 model, and a LiDAR sensor as well.
The iPad Pro 12.9 2021 is slightly thicker than its predecessor at 6.4mm - other than that the dimensions of both slates are the same as the 2020 models. However, that extra thickness means some cases - including the pricey Magic Keyboard.
iPad Pro 2021 11-inch price in India starts at Rs 71,900 for the 128GB storage variant, while 256GB storage option costs Rs 80,900. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2021 ships with Rs 99,900 sticker for the base 128GB storage variant, whereas the 256GB and 512GB variants cost Rs 1,08,900 and Rs 1,26,900 respectively.
