Technical Specifications of Apple iPad Pro 11 (2022)

Apple iPad Pro 11 (2022) Design and Display

Talking about design, the iPad Pro 11 (2022) is made of metal (back panel) and the front panel offers slim bezels which gives a premium look to the device. It is available in two colors such as Silver and Space Grey. The model is packed with an 11-inch Liquid Retina LED-backlit display, 120Hz refresh rate and features a P3 color gamut and up to 600 nits’ peak brightness. The power button (top side) and two separate volume rockers are present in the upper right corner. However, the back of the iPad Pro 11 is matte-finish while glossy Apple logo attracts smudges and fingerprints easily. The device offers great display with good colour reproduction.

Apple Performance and Software  

The Apple iPad Pro 11 (2022) has incredible power hidden beneath the outer core. It stays cool even if you use the device for longer periods and generates less thermal throttling. It also supports an octa-core processor made by the Apple M2. There is not much difference in its performance as compared with its predecessors. It runs quite smoothly throughout the day. You’ll notice slight differences while carrying out intense tasks like 4K video editing or in benchmark tests.

The Apple iPad Pro 11 (2022) runs on iPadOS 16, which is a noticeable leap from its predecessors. It works just like a computer. This tablet carries out multitasking smoothly and offers numerous benefits that Apple ecosystem has to offer to its users. It also supports Universal Control i.e.; the iPad Pro 11 (2022) can be used as an extra display on the MacBook or as a full-fledged desktop screen.  Talking about accessories, this device doesn’t include the Apple Pencil in the accessories list for which you need to pay extra for a 2nd-generation stylus.

 Apple iPad Pro 11 (2022) Camera and Battery

 The camera and its features don’t meet our expectations anyways. The front camera is sufficient for FaceTime video calls or some regular selfies while the rear camera is reliable for scanning documents, but it cannot capture professional type images. It gives you good quality pictures during the day but gains noise level during the night or in darker areas. The webcam is eventually placed awkwardly on the side position and there is no night mode option for photos. However, it offers an ultra-wide angle when held in portrait mode. The rear camera has dual-camera setup; which offers 12MP main camera sensor and 10MP ultra-wide-angle sensor.

 The Apple iPad Pro 11 (2022) supports good battery life for everyday use. It includes a power adapter in the box. However, the battery life slows when performing heavy tasks and has slow charging speeds. But it shows good battery life performance while watching any TV series or Netflix shows. The 10 hours of video watching or browsing is proved right as claimed by the manufacturer.
