There's still a Face ID sensor for face detection security вЂ“ sadly, the Touch ID button from the iPad Air (2020) hasn't made it over as a secondary option. On the front, however, there's a new 12MP ultra-wide camera, which has a feature called 'Centre Stage', which helps to give you perfect framing in the shot вЂ“ we'll explain all later. However, the processing has been improved, and the LiDAR scanner is now used to help with autofocus in low light, like it does for the iPhone 12 Pro. On the rear, the dual camera setup is pretty much the same, with a 12MP wide-angle camera and a 10MP ultra-wide camera. There's still just a single port, but it's now a combined USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 4 port, which means this can shift files back and forth to external storage and potentially colossal speeds, and supports external displays of up to 6K resolution. The speed of the internal storage has been improved too вЂ“ Apple says it's up to twice as fast вЂ“ which is a good pairing with an ultra-fast processor. This is an eight-core processor, with an eight-core GPU, and you get either 8GB or 16GB of RAM, depending on which storage capacity you choose. Next on the list of features is the Apple M1 chip powering things. The resolution here is still 2732x2048, which is 264 pixels per inch.

Both models still support up to 120Hz refresh rates, and deliver P3 wide colour gamut support, plus Apple Pencil 2 support, naturally. The 11-inch model has the same screen as last year.

This screen is just for the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro model, sadly. So we're talking serious levels of precision. For comparison, this is over triple the number of dimming zones of a flagship mini-LED 4K TV at 55 inches or bigger. Apple says that the iPad Pro has 2,596 individual dimming zones. Mini-LEDs aren't just about brightness though: having small lights helps with precision for dimming dark areas of the screen right next to bright areas, enabling contrast between the two that's close to what OLED is famously able to deliver by having per-pixel lighting. In regular app use, Apple actually restricts the screen to 600 nits, which helps keep the battery life at the usual 10 hours or so. That's a big step up вЂ“ but it's only for when you're watching HDR video or looking at HDR photos.

Last year's iPad Pro could reach around 600 nits of full-screen brightness вЂ“ this can reach 1,600 nits for HDR peaks, and 1,000 nits for full-screen brightness.
