**Developers Can Build Once and Run on Multiple Devices with Ease**

When it comes to creating apps for Apple's new M1 chip, there is no porting process that would allow developers to easily transfer their iOS app to run on Mac OS. However, this doesn't mean that developers can't take advantage of the same codebase to create iPadOS experiences. Apple suggests that developers update their code to match the user experience of Mac OS, and with the growing trend of developing apps for both platforms, it's only a matter of time before we see more documents advising on how to make apps work seamlessly on both iOS and iPadOS.

In fact, many popular creative apps have already been developed for iOS and are now being ported to Mac OS. Adobe is working on making its Mac apps run natively on Apple Silicon, while Microsoft has announced that its Office 365 apps have native support for M1 Max. As developers continue to build apps for the new M1 chip, it's likely that we'll see a proliferation of iPad experiences that can easily be adapted from their iOS counterparts.

**Thunderbolt and Display Capabilities**

One of the most exciting features of the new iPad Pro is its Thunderbolt capabilities. This means that users will be able to connect to really fast external storage, drive expensive Apple Pro Displays at full 6K resolution, and even use a 10Gigabit Ethernet connection. The iPad Pro can connect to a Thunderbolt dock and just go crazy with all the possibilities it offers. While it's hard to say whether anyone will ever need all that power, it's certainly exciting to think about the potential uses of this technology.

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro also features a Liquid Retina XDR display, which is Apple's term for its new mini-LED display technology. This display offers a range of impressive specs, including 1600 nits peak brightness and a contrast ratio of 1 million to 1. It's clear that Apple has put a lot of thought into this display, and it will be interesting to see how it compares to the Pro Display XDR in terms of actual performance.

**Price and Availability**

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro starts at $1,099, which is significantly cheaper than its Pro Display XDR counterpart, which starts at around $5,000. The Pro Stand for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro also costs $100 less than the Pro Display XDR. While these prices may seem steep to some, it's worth considering that you're getting a full-fledged tablet with a top-of-the-line display.

In terms of availability, Apple has announced that the new iPad Pro will be available for pre-order on Friday, and it will ship out starting next week. As always, it will be available at Apple.com and in Apple Stores around the world.

**Front-Facing Camera and Video Calling**

One of the most exciting features of the new iPad Pro is its front-facing camera, which has been bumped up from 7 megapixels to 12 megapixels. The camera also features a new feature called Center Stage, which uses machine learning to keep users in the center of the shot during video calls. This means that users can prop their iPad Pro on a stand, move around, and have the camera follow them seamlessly.

The front-facing camera also supports Smart HDR3, just like the iPhone 12, and has 2x optical zoom out, so when it's zoomed out, it's not just a digital trick. Finally, in terms of video calling, Apple has clearly put a lot of thought into this feature, and it will be exciting to see how it performs in practice.

**5G Availability**

While 4G LTE is still widely available, 5G coverage is still not as widespread as 4G. However, if you're planning to get an iPad Pro with cellular capabilities, the new batch should support both LTE and 5G. Apple has also announced that there will be an option to add two terabytes of storage to the iPad Pro, which may be a bit of a stretch for some users.

Overall, it's clear that Apple has put a lot of thought into the new iPad Pro, and it promises to be an exciting device for anyone who wants to take their creative work or video calls to the next level.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe new ipad pro has a lot going for it these are the best new features first up is that m1 system on a chip this is an absolute game changer the m1 is the same soc that's in apple's newest max so for the first time the ipad pro has the guts of a full-fledged mac does that mean we're getting mac os on ipad pros probably not apple has repeatedly said it will not merge ios and mac os could mac os technically run on an ipad pro probably however if and when apple will allow that is a whole other video but here's the thing apps that run on ios and ipad os can natively run on m1 max now we can see software go in the other direction apple already has a guide for developers on running their ios apps on mac os the company explains that there is no porting process that means if an app runs on an idevice it will run on an m1 mac without any changes by the developer however apple does suggest that developers update code to match the user experience of mac os there's a whole section titled determine whether your app makes sense on mac os i would imagine it won't be long before we see other documents that say determine whether your app makes sense on ipad os adobe is already working on making its mac apps run natively on apple silicon microsoft has already announced that its office 365 apps have native support for m1 max so what i'm saying is that as apps are developed for m1 max they could easily be tinkered with to create ipad experiences the performance of these apps could be amazingly consistent between mac os and ipad os in an interview apple vp of worldwide marketing greg joswiak said that when we created the very first ipad pro there was no photoshop there was no creative apps that could immediately use it but now there's so many you can't count essentially he was saying that apps will follow the power apple is now in a really good spot where it's developers whether they make ios or mac os apps can build once and run on multiple devices with ease i'm expecting the m1 ipad pros to be able to handle some seriously complex apps next up we've got thunderbolt on the new ipad pros thunderbolt means that the ipad pro can do things no other ipad could do if you wanted a 10 gigabit ethernet connection on an ipad pro you can do that now if you wanted to connect to really fast external storage thunderbolt is great for that too want to drive that ridiculously expensive apple pro display xdr at full 6k resolution yeah you can do that now the newest ipad pros can connect to a thunderbolt dock and just go crazy will you ever need all that power i don't know but if you do let me know in the comments let's talk about the mini led display that is on the 12.9 inch ipad pro apple calls this a liquid retina xdr display xdr is the same set of letters you'll find at the end of apple's pro display xdr the 12.9 inch ipad pro can deliver 1600 nits peak brightness that's the same as the pro display they both have 1 000 nits full screen brightness they also both have the same contrast ratio of a million to one these are pretty crazy numbers let's take a look at the price of an entry-level 12.9 inch ipad pro okay 10.99 let's take a look at the pro display xdr starts at around five thousand dollars and just for fun let's look at the pro stand oh it's a hundred dollars less than the 12.9 inch ipad pro you've got to love that you can get a full tablet with xdr display for a little more than the stand for the pro display xdr we'll have to see if apple's claims hold true when we get to compare the displays side by side but also remember that the mini led display is on the 12.9 inch ipad pro only you won't get that on the 11 incher apple also beefed up the front-facing camera in today's world of endless video conferencing apple bumped the resolution of the camera from 7 megapixels to 12. apple also has a new feature called center stage for video calls apple says it uses machine learning to keep you in the center of the shot that means you can prop your ipad pro on a stand move around and have the camera follow you apple also says that if second person pops into frame the camera will zoom out to fit you both in apple's spec sheet says the front facing camera has 2x optical zoom out so when that ultra white camera zooms out it's not a digital trick and for all of you tablet photographers the rear camera now supports smart hdr3 like the iphone 12 and we all know how good apple is when it comes to camera tech so there you go and let's talk about 5g availability on the ipad pro i think of this as more of a future proofing feature 4g lte is out right now and it's everywhere 5g coverage is still not as great as 4g however 5g is the unquestioned future of wireless if for whatever reason you're planning to get an ipad with a cellular modem i'd say go with the one that supports lte and 5g and that's the newest batch oh and by the way there's an option to get two terabytes of storage and an
