Use your iPad as a second monitor for your Mac. Here is how to set it up

 No matter how big your computer display is, sometimes a single screen isn’t enough. That’s why so many people need a second monitor, as another screen helps with gaming, streaming, multitasking, communication, organization, and overall efficiency. Having dual monitors is important for productivity — but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to spend more to get it.

As long as you have a compatible Mac and iPad, you can quickly and easily connect two Apple devices and use your iPad as an additional display for your Mac computer. Using Sidecar built into supported devices, you can extend your MacOS desktop or mirror it to an iPad with touchscreen controls, seamlessly using both devices at the same time. Here’s what you need to know.

Requirements for using an iPad as a second monitor

As mentioned above, both of your devices need to support Sidecar, a feature that lets you use your iPad as a second display for your Mac. For your Mac, you must be running MacOS Catalina or later, and it must be one of the following models:

MacBook Pro (2016 or later), MacBook (2016 or later), MacBook Air (2018 or later), Mac (2017 or later and Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) , Mac Pro, Mac Mini (2018 or later), Mac Pro (2019 or later)

For your iPad, it must be running iPadOS 13 or later and be one of the following models: iPad Pro, iPad (6th generation or later), iPad Mini (5th generation or later), iPad Air ( 3rd generation or newer models) it is best to update your device to the latest software available to avoid any issues. Additionally, both devices must be signed into the same Apple ID account using two-factor authentication.

If you plan to use wireless, the two devices must be within 30 feet of each other. You can also connect two devices using USB, which has the advantage of charging the iPad while it’s being used as a second monitor.

Share your entire Mac desktop to iPad

Sharing your computer desktop to your tablet may vary depending on the software update on your computer. If you’re running MacOS Big Sur or later, click the Display icon in the upper-right menu bar. In the menu that appears, select your iPad.

If you’re using MacOS Catalina, you’ll instead click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar and select your iPad. If for some reason you don’t see the AirPlay icon, click the Apple menu in the upper right corner, then go to System Preferences > Displays, and check the Display Mirroring option in the menu bar.

Once your Mac and iPad are connected, you can choose from several options in the Display/AirPlay menu:

Mirror built-in Retina display: Mirror your exact desktop to your iPad. This will make your computer desktop look more like your iPad.

Use as a separate display: Use your iPad as an extension of your desktop. To use the iPad display, drag any window or file from your Mac computer to the right side of the screen, which takes you to the tablet. To get back to your computer, just drag the cursor back to where you were.

Share only one Mac window with the iPad

Or, you can quickly share a window instead of dragging it onto your iPad. To do this, just hover your mouse cursor over the green fullscreen button in the upper left corner of most windows. After hovering for a second, you should see an option that says “Move to iPad” and it will share the window to your tablet. You can share multiple windows to your iPad in succession.

Use sidebar controls, gestures, and the Touch Bar on iPad

After you share your screen to your iPad, a set of controls will appear on the left side of your iPad, these are the sidebar controls you’d typically see on a Mac. This includes, from top to bottom:

Menu Bar: Show or hide the menu bar when full screen

Dock : Show or hide the Dock

Command: Double-click the lock key

Option: Double tap lock key

Control: Double tap to lock key

Shift : double-click the lock key

Undo: Undo the last action

Keyboard: Show or hide the keyboard

Disconnect: Disconnect iPad from Mac

In addition to these Mac controls, you can also use some swipe gestures to control certain things on the second monitor. This includes two-finger swipe to scroll, three-finger pinch to copy, three-finger swipe left to undo, and more.

Finally, if the app on your iPad is compatible, you can also use the Touch Bar. You can also get rid of the Sidebar or Touch Bar controls if you don’t want to use them. On a Mac, click the Display icon in the menu bar, and under the connected iPad, you should see the Hide SideBar and Hide Touch Bar. Click one or both of the options to hide the controls in the iPad.

Use iPad when connected to Mac

Even if you’re using your iPad as a second display, you can still swipe up to exit the Sidecar app and use your iPad as usual. In your dock, you’ll see a blue icon with two monitors – this is the Sidecar. To return to using the iPad as a second display, tap the Sidecar app icon in the Dock.

Samsung says Apple will launch foldable device in 2024

 While Samsung is launching its fourth-generation foldable phone, Apple has yet to start. But according to Samsung, that will change within the next two years with the launch of the first foldable iPad or MacBook.

Representatives from Samsung’s mobile division met with suppliers in October to discuss the smartphone market, according to sources at Korean website The Elec.

Samsung attendees allegedly said they expected Apple to join the foldable market in 2024, but not a foldable iPhone that would rival the sixth-generation Galaxy Z Flip or Galaxy Z Fold phones. Instead, the company expects Apple to join the party with a foldable iPad or a foldable laptop.

While it’s in Samsung’s interest to talk about the possibility of Apple backing its innovations, this isn’t the first time Apple’s possible foldable tablet-first strategy has been rumored. Last month, research firm CCS Insight also predicted that Apple would test folding screens on iPads first, not wanting to go all out to fundamentally change its biggest seller.

“It doesn’t make sense for Apple to make a foldable iPhone right now,” lead analyst Ben Wood said at the time. “We think they’ll steer clear of this trend and probably dip their toes in the water with a foldable iPad.”

A smart, if risk-averse approach

Competition in the tablet space is also less intense. Not only are there only a handful of foldable tablets, but Apple’s monopoly on the tablet market is not to be underestimated.

About 28% of people worldwide use the iPhone, and more than 50% of the tablet market is the iPad brand. Granted, it’s a much smaller pie, but that just makes it a relatively low-risk testing lab.

This makes sense to a certain extent. The main thing that prevents me from carrying the iPad mini in my pocket all the time is that I physically can’t – it’s too wide. If Apple can create an iPad that folds to half its width or height, that would be a big selling point — especially if it still supports the Apple Pencil.

Of course, the line between phones and tablets has been purposely blurred by the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series, and in theory it’s not impossible for a 5G foldable iPad to do something similar, depending on where the fold line is. After all, at 7.7 x 5.3 x 0.3 inches, the iPad mini 6 isn’t much bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 (6.1 x 5.1 x 0.21 inches).

iPad Pro 2022 vs Microsoft Surface Pro 9: Which tablet is right for you?

 If you own the best Apple Watch, the best iPad, the best iPhone, or the best MacBook, then you’re probably going to choose the iPad Pro 2022. Conversely, if you use Windows and invest in apps like OneNote and Outlook, the Surface Pro 9 is for you.

But if you just want an all-around physical device regardless of its manufacturer, choosing which one to get can be a little tricky. Let’s take a look at the comparison between them!

iPad Pro 2022 vs Microsoft Surface Pro 9: Price

The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $799, while the 12.9-inch iPad Pro starts at $1,099, but since these are entry-level models, they only offer Wi-Fi connectivity. If you want Wi-Fi + Cellular, the 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $999. The 12-inch Wi-Fi + Cellular model starts at $1,299.

Microsoft Surface Pro 9 starts at $999. This configuration features a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD memory, and Wi-Fi connectivity. You can also get the aforementioned ARM version for $1,299. It features a Microsoft SQ3 CPU, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, and 5G connectivity.

iPad Pro 2022 vs Microsoft Surface Pro 9: Design

In terms of design, the iPad Pro 2022 is no different from the iPad Pro 2021 and iPad Pro 2020. Space Gray and Silver are the only two colors available. Measuring 11.04 x 8.46 x 0.25 inches and weighing 1.5 pounds, the iPad Pro 2022 is exactly the same as last year’s model. At a whopping 3 pounds, the Magic Keyboard is just a tad heavier than the MacBook Air 2022 and Dell XPS 13 OLED 2022, which each weigh 2.7 pounds.

There are no changes to the buttons and ports. There’s a button on the top right for locking the screen and using Touch ID, two buttons on the right for volume up or down, and a Thunderbolt 4/USB-C port on the bottom edge of the device.

Microsoft hasn’t changed the Surface Pro 9’s design in any significant way. Surface Pro 9 models both measure 11.3 by 8.2 by 0.37 inches and weigh 1.94 pounds. They feature an anodized aluminum body, a kickstand on the back of the device, and a magnetic attachment for the keyboard. As before, the Surface Pro 9 is small and light enough to take anywhere. Color options include Platinum, Graphite, Sapphire, and Forest, the latter three only available on Wi-Fi models. Both devices retain the same form factor as their predecessors.

iPad Pro 2022 vs Microsoft Surface Pro 9: Display

The iPad Pro 2022 has a huge 12.9-inch mini-LED display with a resolution of 2,732 x 2,048 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz.

Like the Microsoft Surface Pro 8, the Surface Pro 9 features a 13-inch PixelSense Flow display (2880 X 1920) with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 3:2 aspect ratio. The display won’t blow your mind, but it’s good enough no matter what you’re looking at or doing.

With adaptive brightness turned off, the iPad Pro topped out at 586 nits, according to our brightness tests using a light meter. Conversely, the Surface Pro 9’s display hits an average of 431.6 nits and 447 nits near the center of the screen. In short, the iPad Pro’s screen is brighter and more colorful than the Surface Pro 9. HDR also makes Apple’s device a winner in this category.

iPad Pro 2022 vs Microsoft Surface Pro 9: Performance

The iPad Pro 2022 features the company’s M2 chip, while the Surface Pro 9 we reviewed has a 12th-generation Intel Core i7 mobile CPU.

On Geekbench 5.4, which measures overall performance, the iPad 2022 scored 1,862 in the single-core section and 8,500 in the multi-core test. By comparison, the Surface Pro 9 scored 1,633 and 8,541, respectively.

In our Adobe Premiere Rush video transcoding test, the new iPad Pro completed the task in 23 seconds. The M1-powered iPad Air took 22 seconds. Somewhat oddly, the M2-powered slab was a hair slower in this test.

The Surface Pro 9 transcoded a 4K video to 1080p using Handbrake in 9 minutes and 34 seconds, surpassing the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 7’s time for the same task (12:18). By comparison, the Surface Pro 8 took 13 minutes and 30 seconds.

We played Genshin Impact on the iPad Pro and found it to be a smooth experience overall. We didn’t see a noticeable drop in frame rate, even during combat.

On the Surface Pro 9, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering of Storms averaged a miserable 24 fps at 1080p and an even worse 17 fps at 1920p. Because Microsoft‘s machines rely on Intel Iris Xe graphics rather than discrete graphics, you’ll struggle to play games natively on the device.

According to Geekbench tests, the tablets have relatively similar performance figures. I found no noticeable difference between the two tablets when watching videos or browsing the web.

iPad Pro 2022 vs iPad Air 2022: What’s the biggest difference?

 Apple has released the latest update to its line of high-end tablets with the iPad Pro 2022. But how does it compare to the next model, the iPad Air 2022?

The biggest update to the iPad Pro is the addition of the Apple Silicon M2 chip, which replaces the M1 in the iPad Pro 2021. The M1 is the same processor that powers the iPad Air 2022. However, with a difference of over £300 between their RRPs, if you’re considering buying one iPad or the other, you need to know the biggest difference between these two Apple tablets.

iPad Pro powered by Apple M2

Arguably the most significant upgrade for the iPad Pro is the move from Apple’s M1 chip to the M2, an Apple Silicon chip that’s found in the MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro.

The M2 is an 8-core CPU that Apple claims is 15% faster than the M1. It has a 10-core GPU with 35% faster graphics performance and a 16-core Neural Engine that can process 15.8 trillion operations per second, 40% faster than the M1. The chipset also utilizes 50% more bandwidth than the M1 with 100GB/s of unified memory, while the M2 supports up to 16GB of fast unified memory.

iPad Air comes in more colors

The iPad Air is available in five colors, including some striking pastel shades: Space Gray, Starlight, Pink, Purple, and Blue. The iPad Pro is only available in more neutral shades of space gray and silver.

In terms of display, the iPad Pro definitely wins with its larger screen, higher resolution, XDR support, and 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate. The iPad Pro 2022 also supports the new Apple Pencil hover feature, allowing users to preview their markup 12mm above the display before starting a drawing or taking a note.

iPad Pro has more storage

Like the iPad Pro 2021, the iPad Pro 2022 comes with up to 2TB of storage. That’s significantly more than the 256GB available on the iPad Air.

The iPad Pro 2022 is available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB configurations, while the iPad Air 2022 is only available in 64GB and 256GB versions.

iPad Pro has a second camera

The iPad Pro takes advantage of a second rear camera. While both tablets have 12-megapixel (f/1.8) wide-angle cameras, only the iPad Pro has a second 10-megapixel (f/2.4) ultra-wide-angle camera.

iPad Pro also includes a brighter True Tone flash, support for 2x optical zoom and up to 5x digital zoom (iPad Air only supports digital zoom) and Smart HDR 4 for photos, while iPad Air comes with Smart HDR 3.

While both cameras can shoot 4K video, only the iPad Pro supports ProRes video recording and audio scaling up to 4K/30fps. Finally, while both cameras also include a 12-megapixel (f/2.4) front-facing camera, only the iPad Pro offers portrait mode support, including advanced bokeh and depth controls, portrait lighting, Animoji and Memoji support, and Face ID .

iPad Pro costs more

Perhaps the most important difference between the two tablets is price. The iPad Pro 2022 starts at $799/£899 (11in version with Wi-Fi or $999/£1079 with Wi-Fi + Cellular), while the 12.9in model starts at $1099/£1249 (with Wi-Fi -Fi or $1299/£1429 (with Wi-Fi + Cellular).

The 11-inch iPad Air starts at $599/£569 for Wi-Fi and $749/£719 for the Wi-Fi + Cellular model.

iPad Pro 2022 vs MacBook Air 2022: Is a Tablet or Laptop Right for You?

 Last year, Apple announced a number of new hardware, including new additions to the iPad Pro and MacBook Air lineup. Some of the most anticipated improvements are the iPad Pro lineup, which came this year in the form of the iPad Pro M2. The MacBook Air lineup has also been upgraded with the M2 chipset, and the two devices are on par when it comes to processors.

Before we begin, it’s important to note that we haven’t been able to review the iPad Pro 2022, so we won’t make any definitive comments on its performance. However, we’ve been able to review the MacBook Air 2022, so we can make some educated guesses about which device is best for you. Let’s take a look below!

Design and Display

Starting with the iPad Pro, it comes with a 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED backlit display. The resolution is 2732×2048, and Apple claims it can hit 600 points of brightness in normal use, 1,000 nits at maximum brightness, and 1,600 nits when playing HDR content. It also includes support for ProMotion, which means you’ll get a 120Hz refresh rate during intensive tasks like editing or scrolling, which drops off when it’s no longer needed to save battery.

It supports the second-generation Apple Pencil and, in terms of ports, has USB-C Thunderbolt 4 as well as a Nano-SIM tray on the cellular model. The Wi-Fi model weighs just 682 grams, while the cellular version is slightly heavier at 684 grams.

The iPad itself is available in two colors: silver and space gray. It has rounded edges and thin bezels, with few design changes compared to its predecessor, the iPad Pro (2021). There are four speakers, an integrated microphone and the usual volume switch and a top lock button.

The rear camera module is square and consists of wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle cameras, the former is 12MP at f/1,8 aperture, and the former is 10MP at f/2.4 aperture, with a field of view of 125 degrees.

The MacBook Air, meanwhile, is available in four colors: Silver, Starlight, Space Gray, and Midnight. We think it looks very similar to the MacBook Pro (2021) 14- and 16-inch models. This gives it a boxier look without the wedge-shaped design, and our review pointed out that it feels very portable thanks to its 1.24kg weight.

It comes with two Thunderbolt 3-capable USB-C ports, as well as a MagSafe 3 charging port and a 3.5mm audio jack, which is absent on the iPad Pro. The inclusion of MagSafe means you can charge your laptop without using any of the USB-C ports, but you’ll need to have a MagSafe charger handy.

According to Apple, the screen is 13.6 inches and features an LED-backlit display with a resolution of 2560×1664 and a brightness of up to 500 nits. We’re disappointed that the MacBook Air doesn’t feature ProMotion technology, sticking with a 60Hz refresh rate, which means on-screen motion may not be as smooth as the iPad Pro.

The screen has a notch since Apple thinned the top screen bezel, which we don’t really mind. We did note, however, that the notch would be more welcome if Apple decided to upgrade its 1080p front-facing webcam.

Glasses

Both the iPad Pro and MacBook Air are equipped with the M2 chipset. iPad Pro features an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine. The MacBook Air comes in two variants, the first is the same as the iPad Pro, and the second has an 8-core CPU, 8-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine.

Also, since the iPad model has the same features as the base MacBook Air, we think the iPad Pro is more than adequate for browsing and may be suitable for creative professionals who want to draw and edit on a tablet.

The iPad Pro does support USB-C Thunderbolt 4, which means it can easily connect to an external display and transfer files very quickly. The MacBook Air opts for Thunderbolt 3 technology, which still enables fast transfers.

Since we haven’t been able to review the iPad Pro, we can’t definitively claim which is more powerful, however, since they have the same processor configuration, we expect them to have similar performance. The real difference is in the interface, as the iPad runs on iPad OS 16 and is a dedicated tablet, while the MacBook Air is a laptop that runs on macOS and will support macOS Ventura.

Users who want a powerful tablet can also equip the iPad Pro with a compatible keyboard from Apple or third-party retailers and use it as a 2-in-1 device, making it more versatile than the MacBook Air.

Apple iPad Pro (2022) vs iPad Pro (2021): Which year wins?

 Apple’s premium tablet is now in its sixth generation, and the iPad Pro (2022) brings some notable improvements. That includes the inclusion of the powerful M2 chip, which you’ll also find in the latest MacBook Pros. The question is, if you ignore this new processor, is there anything else really important under the hood of the tablet that makes it a better buy than last year’s iPad Pro (2021)? Let’s take a look below!

Design, Display and Durability

Apple is very, very happy with the design of its iPad Pro because it hasn’t changed its basic look over the years. That means the iPad Pro (2022) is nearly identical to its predecessor, with the same bezel-less display and narrow bezels. Both devices feature an aluminum frame and back, while the 11-inch and 12.9-inch versions are the same size. They also weigh the same, so no matter which model you choose, you’ll have the same level of comfort and comfort.

We also have no choice but to report that generations of monitors happen to be the same. If you choose the 11-inch version of either iPad, you’ll receive a Liquid Retina IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1688 x 2388 pixels. If you opt for the 12.9-inch version, you get an excellent 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED LCD panel that packs 2048 x 2732 pixels. Regardless of the size of your model, you’ll have a 120Hz refresh rate for some really smooth scrolling and animations.

Neither tablet is waterproof, so they’re not the most durable. That said, their screen is made of scratch-resistant glass that repels oil and fingerprints, and their aluminum frame doesn’t break visibly like glass.

Performance, battery life and charging

We were surprised when the iPad Pro (2021) featured Apple’s M1 chip, giving it the power to handle any type of task, app or video game. Now, the iPad Pro (2022) has a more powerful M2 chip, which Apple says is about 20 percent faster than the M1. That could mean the new iPads can handle intensive multitasking more comfortably than the older ones, though most people will struggle to see a real difference given the M1 chip is already so powerful. Both devices come with either 8GB or 16GB of RAM, giving them enough memory to thrive in 2022 and beyond.

In terms of internal storage, both devices come standard with 128GB, but can go up to 2TB.

In terms of batteries, this is also a case of history repeating itself. The battery capacity is the same for both models, including the 11-inch and 12.9-inch versions. Of course, software changes could mean better battery life for the iPad Pro (2022), though we’ll need a full review to confirm that.

Camera

The new iPad Pro (2022) also happens to have the old camera, with the same dual-lens rear setup as the 2021 model. That means a 12MP main lens and a 10MP ultra-wide-angle lens, as well as a LiDAR sensor for depth perception. Meanwhile, it has a 12MP ultra-wide selfie camera on the front, just like the iPad Pro (2021).

As before, the 12MP ultra-wide selfie camera supports an AI-powered center stage function for some impressive panoramic selfies. More generally, as far as tablet cameras go, the rear lenses on both models are excellent, capable of taking great photos in most normal situations. However, since there is no difference between the two.

Software and Updates

The iPad Pro (2022) will ship out of the box with iPadOS 16, bringing some useful new features to the iPad experience. The most notable of these is Stage Manager, which is basically a multitasking tool that enables users to run up to 8 applications simultaneously. This makes it ideal for professional and creative users, and while the iPad Pro (2021) currently runs on iPadOS 15, it will receive a 16th version once it is released.

Special function

There’s no real difference between the two iPad Pros. They all support 5G, and they all support the new Stage Manager feature as well as the Center Stage camera feature.

They are also equipped with a lidar sensor and can use a range of augmented reality applications. There’s also Face ID and support for Magic Keyboard accessories, which means you can turn your iPad into a laptop. Other than that, they’re basically high-performance, high-reliability tablets.

The iPad 2022’s USB-C port isn’t the upgrade you expected

 The iPad 2022 finally adds USB-C connectivity to Apple’s entry-level tablet, joining the iPad mini 6, iPad Air, and iPad Pro that have been using the connector for some time. But, as it turns out, the change comes with a few caveats — including Lightning Layer data transfer speeds.

As The Verge points out, the new iPad‘s USB-C port is limited to USB 2.0-class data transfer speeds. That’s about 480 Mbps, the same as Lightning, and pretty paltry compared to the 5 Gbps speed offered by the iPad mini 6’s USB 3.1 port. The iPad Air also offers 10 Gbps data transfer, while the iPad Pro with the Thunderbolt M1 can reach 40 Gbps.

YouTuber Max Tech also did their own comparison, stating that it took 10 minutes and 27 seconds to transfer a 25GB video file from an SSD to an iPad 2022. Meanwhile, the same file takes a minute to transfer to his Mac and the latest iPad Air. Mike Rumor has also conducted its own tests and confirmed the data transfer rate.

Of course, the changes to USB-C aren’t just superficial. First, Max Tech is able to connect the new iPad to a portable SSD, which cannot be connected to the 2021 model via Lightning. Again, our own testing shows that the USB-C connector does seem to reduce charging times.

We found that the new iPad successfully charged to 26% in 30 minutes, while the 2021 model only hit 19% in the same time. It’s a small boost, to be sure, but it’s still an upgrade. Also, while we all want batteries to last longer, faster charging speeds are very useful.

That said, it’s rather a shame Apple didn’t upgrade the ports to USB 3.0. Considering the iPad 2021 starts at $329 from day one, and the new model starts at $449, we expect Apple to do better.

There are of course other upgrades compared to the iPad 2021. They include the A14 Bionic processor, Wi-Fi 6 and 5G support, a larger 10.9-inch display, and a 12MP (f/1.8) rear camera. But that’s still a glaring oversight, another example of only supporting the first-generation Apple Pencil.

This is the case with entry-level iPads, so one might not care too much about slow data transfer speeds. However, anyone who cares about being able to move large files in and out of a tablet might want to look elsewhere — and pay more for the privilege. At least you can plug in the iPad 2022 with the same cable as pretty much every other non-iPhone device, which is definitely something to celebrate.

iPadOS 16.1 is now available for download

 On Monday, Apple released iPadOS 16.1 for its iPad lineup — the first official release of iPadOS 16, while skipping iPadOS 16.0 in the process.

Why the M1 iPad Pro might be a better buy now than the new M2 model

 Apple released a new generation of iPad Pro this week. Even though it comes with Apple’s latest M2 chip, there’s not much new on these iPads. For those considering buying a new iPad Pro, the M1 model seems more appealing than ever. That’s why the M1 iPad Pro is still a good choice.

Some of us expected the new iPad Pro update to be more important than it actually appeared. For example, Apple chose to keep the same design as the previous-generation M1 iPad Pro — not a bad thing, but there are a few areas that could be improved.

The M2 iPad Pro is not a big upgrade

In the new 10th-generation iPad, Apple put the front-facing camera in landscape mode, so it looks more natural when users are in a video conference. It’s a much-needed change for many iPad users, but the new iPad Pro doesn’t get it. There were rumors that the new iPad Pro would get inductive wireless charging somehow, but that didn’t happen either.

The big news for the new iPad Pro is definitely the M2 chip. But honestly, it’s not big news. Of course, the M2 is faster. But compared to the M1 chip, the difference probably won’t change your workflow unless you’re a heavy user. The M2’s CPU is 15% faster than the M1. The vast majority of users have a hard time noticing the difference, especially when iPadOS has few features or apps that push its limits. In terms of graphics performance, the difference becomes even more pronounced, as the M2 chip’s GPU is about 35 percent more powerful than the M1’s GPU. But again, only a handful of iPad apps take advantage of this performance.

Another new feature unique to the M2 iPad Pro is the “hover” feature of the Apple Pencil. In other words, the display is now able to detect when the Apple Pencil is hovering over the screen to more accurately show where the user will be touching, improving the accuracy of writing and drawing. This is certainly a useful feature for anyone who uses the Apple Pencil on a daily basis.

There are some other spec enhancements in the new iPad Pro. It supports the Wi-Fi 6E standard for faster transfer speeds, as well as more 5G frequency bands than before. But again, that’s not something everyone notices when dealing with routine tasks. Meanwhile, the cameras are the same as on the M1 iPad Pro, and Apple didn’t bring the Mini-LED display to the smaller 11-inch model.

Which one should you get?

At this point, if you’re considering upgrading from an older iPad or considering buying your first iPad, I firmly believe that the M1 iPad Pro is still a good option, maybe even better than the M2 model. It’s still a super-powerful device that supports all the latest iPadOS 16 features, including Stage Manager. The M1 iPad Pro also features technologies like ProMotion, Thunderbolt support and up to 2TB of storage and 8GB or 16GB of RAM. Which one would you choose?
