The most exciting innovation would have to be the inclusion of Apple’s M1 chip that is in most of Apple’s Macs (including the colourful new iMacs).

With a fast 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU and 16-core Apple Neural Engine, the iPad’s performance has been significantly increased and put on par with the processing power of a Mac. It’s mind blowing that this is possible all within an iPad form factor.

On the front there is an all new ‘TrueDepth’ 12MP Ultra Wide camera (2.4 aperture) with a 122 degree field of view, which enables an awesome new feature called ’Centre Stage’.

This feature works to keep you in frame on your video calls on apps like FaceTime and Zoom. For example, if you move around the room the camera will follow you around. Also, when someone else enters the room the camera is often able to ‘zoom out’ or adjust the frame to include them in the shot. It’s some pretty impressive motion tracking and a fun feature for family calls or possibly even video lecturing or conferences.

On the back the pro cameras include a 12MP wide camera that can shoot 4K video up to 60fps or even slow-mo video up to 240fps and a 10MP Ultra Wide camera for a great field of view that can also capture 4K video.

Not forgetting the built-in LiDAR Scanner, which is game changing. This allows for depth sensing capabilities which aid in producing mind blowing motion tracking and AR effects (I could go on but you’ll have to delve into that yourself).
