Apple Event — April 20 --YouTube


The iMac isn't the only one with the M1 chip.



The movie that started suddenly shows a man exploding in the Apple headquarters building



Cut the window glass of the head office with Apple Pencil ...



Invade inside.



Go through a narrow exhaust port ...



Go through between the laser sensors ...



Gently place the M1 chip you removed from your MacBook Pro.

It was Tim Cook CEO.



It was the iPad Pro that CEO Cook picked up with a built-in M1 chip.

That's why the iPad Pro with M1 is here.



The M1's 8-core design makes the CPU 50% faster than the previous generation iPad Pro with the A14 chip.



CPU performance is 75 times faster than the original iPad



The graphics performance of the 8-core GPU is also 40% faster.



Graphic performance is 1500 times higher than the original iPad. AR content and games are also possible with high performance, and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X controllers that support tactile feedback can also be used.



Equipped with ProMotion display and 4 speakers



In addition, the performance of the iPad Pro has become higher than ever with the M1 chip such as the 16-core Neural Engine.



Power efficiency is also improved, and the battery can be used all day long.



Double the speed of access to storage



In addition to 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB of storage, a large-capacity storage model of 2TB is also available.



In addition, the port is now Thunderbolt, so it can also support the USB 4 protocol.



Thunderbolt quadruples bandwidth on wired connections.



It also supports ultra-high-speed wireless communication comparable to 5G mm, and achieves download speeds of up to 4 Gbps. Large files can now be accessed outdoors.



The built-in microphone is also studio quality.



The graphics performance has been improved by installing the M1 chip, so the rendering of the CG model is also crisp. Since it also has a built-in LiDAR scanner, you can create content that makes use of AR.



The screen is compatible with Smart HDR 3.



Equipped with a TrueDepth camera, it can be unlocked with Face ID.



Equipped with a sensor with an ultra-wide-angle camera with 12 megapixels and a viewing angle of 122 degrees



As a result, a technology called a center frame has been realized.



It recognizes the user's position during a video call and automatically moves the camera to keep the user in the center of the screen.



Apple boasted that 'the iPad display is the most advanced mobile display.'



The new iPad Pro comes in 11-inch and 12.9-inch, and the 11-inch model has a resolution of about 4 million pixels.



The resolution of the 12.9-inch model is 5.6 million pixels.



And the screen performance of Pro Display XDR is also installed in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.



The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is equipped with a 'Liquid Retina XDR display' with a full-screen brightness of 1000 nits and a peak brightness of 1600 nits.



Contrast ratio is 1 million to 1



Like the Pro Display XDR, it has innumerable LEDs in the background of the display.



That number is 10,000!



Divide the screen into more than 2500 local dimming zones and adjust the brightness accordingly.



With this technology, the screen performance of Pro Display XDR was reproduced on a 12.9-inch iPad pro with a thickness of 6.4 mm and 682 grams.



In addition, a Magic Keyboard with a built-in LED that shines at hand



Looking from the side with it attached, it looks like this



Prices for the new iPad Pro start at JPY 94,800 for the 11-inch model and JPY 129,800 for the 12.9-inch model. Orders will start on April 30th and will be available in late May.
