iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)

The thinnest, brightest iPad ever made.

Storage
Buying call

The M4 iPad Pro introduced a tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR display with 120Hz ProMotion and up to 1,600 nits peak HDR brightness, in a chassis as thin as 5.1mm on the 13-inch. The M4 chip is overkill for most apps, battery life is solid, and the landscape front camera makes video calls natural. Accessories add significantly to the total, and iPadOS still limits what the hardware can do.
