The iPad Pro (2021) was launched in two variants: 11-inch and 12.9-inch. The 11-inch model did not go through a mini-LED screen like the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and in general we can say that we have the panel of the iPad Pro 11 (2020), but with some improvements (HDR10, Dolby Vision) .
I. What’s new in the iPad Pro 11 (2021) compared to the iPad Pro 11 (2020)?
First of all, I would like Apple M1 which we also find in iMacs or MacBooks, brings a significant increase in performance compared to the Apple A12Z Bionic (50% processing power, 40% GPU). Second, I would refer to the USB Type-C 3.1 port which is now compliant with standards Thunderbolt 4 (transfer speed up to 40Gbps and you can connect your tablet to a monitor with up to 6K resolution or transfer data at really fast speeds.)
Another new element would be frontal camera which is now ultra-wide and incorporates a technology called Center Stage (the tablet has the ability to follow the subject and keep it in the frame, if someone joins, it zooms so that it is caught in the transmission).
