The 11-inch iPad Pro (M4) is Apple’s 5.3 mm tablet with a tandem OLED screen, introduced in 2024. It offers an Ultra Retina XDR display with 1,000-nit full-screen brightness, the M4 chip, a Thunderbolt / USB 4 port, Apple Pencil Pro support and a Center Stage front camera. Testing measured a very bright, colour-accurate screen but found PWM flicker at lower brightness; the ultra-wide camera was dropped. Owners praise the screen, speed and battery life, and mostly criticise the price and cost of accessories.
