Background Information
Announced the morning of May 7th, 2024, Apple's 5th generation 11-inch iPad Pro and 7th generation 13-inch iPad Pro have been refreshed for the first time since 2018. Available in both the previously-available 11-inch and new-for-2024 13-inch sizes, they feature new Ultra Retina XDR displays with "tandem OLED" technology, debut with the new M4 SoC, and support for the new Apple Pencil Pro. The front-facing camera has been moved to the landscape edge and the base storage has been increased from 128 to 256 GB.
The 5th generation 11-inch iPad Pro and new 13-inch iPad Pro are Apple’s first devices to use the M4 chip.
The 5th generation 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999 and is available in either Silver or Space Black.
