The assurance that the unit meets Apple's rigorous quality standards, and that its defective components have been replaced by genuine Apple components Apple’s new iPad Pro 2021 is available to buy around the globe. You could buy it directly from Apple and a variety of other retailers after it came out on May 21, 2021.

2021 Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 2TB) - Silver (5th
On one of the flat edges is a little oval that denotes where the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen attaches magnetically to charge, and there are volume button on that same side. On one of the shorter edges is a USB-C port for charging, plus two dotted vents for the stereo speakers. So 10 hours, sure – but a lot of the uses people will actually have for an iPad Pro will cause it come in under that, based on my experience.Let's start with video: when streaming a Dolby Vision HDR movie from Apple's own TV app, with the brightness set to maximum (that's 1000nits fullscreen, remember), I saw the battery drop by an average of 17% per hour, so you'd be looking at around 6 hours of total use. For a few weeks after launch, the iPad was pretty hard to buy due to supply shortages, but that's long cleared up now. The iPad Pro 2021 design hasn’t changed much from previous iterations – it’s still a great-looking device with a sleek design that simultaneously feels premium and durable. If you’re looking for a functional yet attractive tablet, you’ll be pleased with what’s on offer here. We found that the iPad Pro was capable of lasting the full 10 hours that Apple claims, with us performing a variety of tasks including web browsing, streaming video, writing in a word processor, gaming, and bouncing around a variety of apps. The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9‑inch screen is 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro 11‑inch screen is 11 inches, the iPad Air and iPad (10th generation) screens are 10.86 inches, and the iPad mini screen is 8.3 inches. Actual viewable area is less.

The display offers a clear image with great quality – we found this to be a particularly stunning screen on which to watch movies and videos, and it’s just as impressive for editing video, making this an attractive device for content creators. If you’re a more typical iPad user, you may not notice this power jump in everyday tasks, but the new silicon is designed to make the iPad Pro a powerhouse device for those who need it, such as those who want to make music on their tablet, edit video, draw, or perform other power-intensive tasks.
An almighty beast of a tablet, that becomes more niche as it gets more powerful and expensive
But iPadOS has workflow issues – for pros, particularly – that it still hasn't overcome. This is especially evident when it comes to moving a file between applications – let's take an example that I have, of preparing an image to use on TechRadar.
iPad Pro - Apple (UK)
iPadOS comes with powerful features and built-in apps designed to take advantage of the unique capabilities of iPad.

Its OLED screen is beautifully rich, but the iPad Pro manages to deliver the same kind of depth at the darker end, but the extra brightness really elevates the overall clarity. There have been iPad rises across the board in many territories, so it perhaps isn't a surprise, but in these countries, it certainly pushes the notion that the iPad with the biggest and best screen is only for Pros who'll write it off as a tax expense, and not home users who might like a more generous display for enjoying video or drawing. I'm not sure about that in the case of the new iPad Pro 12.9-inch, however. Based on our time using it for video, light work, and when pushing it with more intensive tasks, we are talking about up to 10 hours.
The biggest upgrade to the iPad Pro since its inception
It's also fiddly, especially when used with your fingers. You might open an app and find that it appears in a small window on a screen with nothing else on – resizing it to fill the screen just feels like an unnecessary extra step. There's a shortcut to do this with two taps, but if you don't know to look for the dots at the top of a window, you'd have to drag using the control on the bottom corner, which is slow. This rear camera is absolutely fine – it’s good quality, delivering solid brightness to the images, pleasing contrast, nice colors, and reasonable detail. However, we are struggling to imagine that anyone thinking about ProRes video wouldn’t rather record it on the larger sensor of the iPhone 14 Pro to get as much image info as possible to work with. Beyond all these, iPadOS continues to be an interesting mix of excellence in many ways, and frustration in others. Its app support is far beyond the competition, in terms of delivering apps that are both powerful as well as being usable with touch, and designed specifically for the space that the tablet screen gives you. Optional accessories are available for the iPad Pro, and the two main highlights are the existing Apple Pencil 2 as well as a new version of the company’s Magic Keyboard.

When pushing the M2 chip hard, it appears capable of dropping at 1% per minute. I saw this while running our benchmarks, for example, which caused a 4% drop in four minutes – but also when using Serif Affinity Photo and trying to push the M2 chip as hard as possible, which caused a drop of 8% in around 10 minutes. The displays have rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9‑inch screen is 12.9 inches and the iPad Pro 11‑inch screen is 11 inches. Actual viewable area is less. In the US, the starting price is the same as last year's model, which feels fair, given the limited number of upgrades overall (and the price rose in 2021). Up to 4K AirPlay for mirroring, photos, and video out to Apple TV (2nd generation or later) or AirPlay 2–enabled smart TVThe flat sides and right-angled edges look like they might be uncomfortable to clutch, but they're not at all, thanks to the corners themselves being ever-so-slightly rounded. We’ve yet to learn the exact size of the battery inside the iPad Pro 2021, but the battery life has proved strong during our testing time with the tablet. Some rumors claim the battery is bigger than the one in the 2020 edition, and that last-gen model had a 9,720mAh battery; we likely won’t know for certain until someone breaks open a new iPad Pro and looks inside for themselves. Video mirroring and video out support through USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter (adapters sold separately) 8 The USB-C slot on the new iPad Pro is the first from the company to also support Thunderbolt connections. That means increased speed – Apple claims up to four times the speed – and it also means a whole host of high-performance devices can be connected to your iPad. The camera is unchanged from the previous model, apart from adding the ability to record ProRes video for the first time here. On the rear, you get a 12MP wide-angle cam, plus a 10MP ultra-wide, paired with a LiDAR sensor that can help with fast auto-focus, but can also be used for 3D scanning in various apps.
