The largest iPad Pro has long been a brilliant if pricey way to watch movies on the move – and that is taken to the next level here. This is the first iPad with an OLED screen, potentially meaning a big upgrade in picture performance. And we can confirm this latest iPad Pro is the new benchmark for movie-watching on the go.
The screen has increased in size by 0.1 of an inch, but it’s thinner by 1.3mm, and is lighter than the previous model by a not-insignificant 100g. This is a hugely well-made and premium-feeling device that is a pleasure to possess.
Apple has given the new iPad Pro a ‘tandem OLED’ display that combines two OLED panels so that it offers all of the benefits of OLED (most importantly, the pixel-level contrast control and perfect blacks) while still matching the previous Mini LED display for brightness. So, according to Apple, the new iPad Pro is still able to hit 1600 nits with HDR highlights and 1000 nits of full-screen brightness. It can now hit 1000 nits with SDR content, too, whereas the previous model was limited to 600 nits with such content.
