List of iPad models

The fourth generation of the iPad Pro was announced on March 18, 2020, with the same screen size options as the previous generation: 11-inch (28 cm) and 12.9-inch (33 cm). It offers a redesigned camera module, an A12Z processor, 128 GB minimum storage, and support for the Magic Keyboard with a trackpad that is sold separately.[1] The iPad Pro was released on March 25, 2020 in 30 countries and regions.[2]

Features

Hardware

The 2020 model features an Apple A12Z processor, with an octa-core CPU and GPU, supporting WiFi 6, and an upgraded camera setup with a 12MP wide camera, a 10MP ultra-wide camera, and a LiDAR scanner for augmented reality. From the 2018 to 2020 models, the RAM was increased from 4 to 6 GiB[3] on the 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB models[4], and remains at 6 GiB for the 1 TB model[5].[6] The base storage option was doubled from 64 GB to 128 GB.

Accessories

A new Magic Keyboard was released on 22 April 2020; which includes a trackpad, backlit keys, USB-C port for pass-through charging, and a cantilever design; allowing the iPad Pro to 'float' above the keys. The Magic Keyboard is compatible with the 3rd and 4th generation iPad Pro. Support for trackpads, mice, and pointing devices was announced, as a feature of version 13.4 of iPadOS, which was released on March 24, 2020.

Like its predecessor, this version of iPad Pro supports the Apple Pencil, a variety of cases, and USB-C accessories.

Reception

The 2020 model of the iPad Pro was seen as a minor spec bump amongst tech reviewers. Although the addition in RAM and change in storage options were welcomed, the LIDAR sensor which Apple added for increased AR capability was touted as a feature only a handful of customers would use. A new camera setup in the 2020 model did provide for good image quality.[7]
