iPad Pro
The new high-end iPad Pro has an improved screen backed by an array of LEDs, which gives the screen better colour resolution than the earlier version, making the iPad Pro look brighter. It also incorporates an improved USB-C connector, which gives it the ability to connect with monitors of higher resolution, and fast image downloading from the camera.
The new iPad Pro will have a front-facing camera of 12-megapixel with an ultrawide lens enabling it to pan automatically to keep the subjects in the shot for the user's photography requirements. The new iPad Pro uses the M1 chip, which is also being used in Apple's desktop computers. Earlier, it had an A-series chip.

It will come in multiple colour options ranging from yellow, red, purple, blue, orange, green and silver. The new thin design makes the iMacs looks like a giant iPad. The computer volume is reduced by 50%, and it has a 24-inch built-in display with a more high-tech camera.
