Apple is speeding up its devices support for the new 5G network. According to analysts, this network is one of the reasons for its good iPhone sales. The company will now ensure that even its iPad gets this network. Yesterday, Apple released a series of devices including a new generation Apple iPad Pro. This iPad comes with the company’s proprietary M1 chip. This product supports Thunderbolt and USB 4 interfaces, as well as 5G connections.
Apple claims that the iPad Pro has the most 5G frequency bands in its class. This device also provides the world’s most extensive 5G coverage. In the United States, iPad Pro supports millimeter wave, the high-frequency version of 5G. This allows the iPad Pro to reach a speed of up to 4Gbps.
Apple claims that the 8-core CPU performance of the iPad Pro is up to 50% higher than the A12Z Bionic. Furthermore, the 8-core graphics processor performance can be up to 40% higher.
Apple pointed out that iPad Pro has a new generation of 16-core Apple neural network engine, advanced image signal processor (ISP), high-bandwidth unified memory architecture, up to 16GB of memory, 2 times the storage speed, and up to 2TB capacity.
The company said, “because the M1 and A-series chips use the same infrastructure, iPadOS has been optimized to take full advantage of M1’s powerful technology, and can easily cope with tasks ranging from simple navigation to high-performance workflows.”
