The new iPad Pros skipped straight to M4, and initial benchmarks show the potential performance improvements match Apple's claims.

The new iPad Pros will be available in two aluminum finishes (silver and space black) and four storage options: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB. Shoppers have the option to upgrade them both with cellular connectivity for $200 and nano-texture glass for $100 (in the 1TB and 2TB models only).

Cupertino's challenge will be aligning breakthrough hardware, like the AI-powered M4 chip, with cutting-edge software.
