Apple Releases New iPad Pro with Revolutionary LiDAR Scanner and Trackpad Support for iPadOS

Apple today announced its most advanced tablet, the iPad Pro, which, thanks to the new A12Z Bionic chip,

became even faster and more powerful than mostlaptops with Windows PC. The new iPad Pro adds an ultra-wide camera, studio-quality microphones, and a revolutionary LiDAR scanner that delivers advanced depth sensing capabilities, unlocks more professional workflows, and supports professional photo and video apps.

LiDAR Scanner, along with professionalcameras, motion sensors, professional performance, professional sound, a stunning Liquid Retina display and powerful applications make iPad Pro the world's best augmented reality (AR) device. The new iPad Pro is available for order today on the official Apple website.

New iPad Pro

The new product, as the manufacturer assures us, is capablecreate real miracles. Users have at their disposal two Pro-level cameras that allow them to change reality. You can control the tablet using touches or use a pencil, keyboard, and now also a trackpad. That's what the new iPad Pro is all about!

Display

Liquid Retina display occupies the entire frontsurface from edge to edge. Plus, all the advanced technologies are provided here. For example, ProMotion, True Tone, ultra-accurate color reproduction. All this provides an incredible experience of use, the response to actions is very, very fast.

Camera

The new tablet uses advanced cameras:The wide-angle camera and the new ultra-wide-angle camera allow you to frame the frame perfectly when you take photos or videos. And thanks to studio-quality microphones and four speakers, iPad Pro can be used in a camera rig.

The Pro camera system allows you to do a variety of tasks on iPad Pro. Shoot, edit and share 4K video - all on one device.

The TrueDepth front camera allows you touse Face ID. It is one of the most secure facial authentication systems available on tablets and computers. With the same camera, you can make FaceTime calls, take selfies in Portrait mode, or turn yourself into an Animoji.

LiDAR Scanner

LiDAR (Light Detection and Rangingor “light detection and ranging”) is a technology for measuring distance by the flight time of light to an object and back. It is being used by NASA to prepare the next expedition to Mars. And Apple has reduced the components of this technology to the size of a thin and light iPad Pro.

A specially designed LiDAR scanner measuresthe exact travel time of light reflected from a surface at a distance of up to 5 meters. It functions both indoors and outdoors. Works at the photon level. Reacts at nanosecond speed. And it opens up enormous opportunities for augmented reality and more.

The LiDAR scanner interacts with advancediPad Pro cameras and motion sensors, as well as various iPadOS frameworks to determine the depth of space. This combination of technology, software and unprecedented innovation allows us to say that iPad Pro is the cutting-edge device for augmented reality.

On the new iPad Pro, apps with enhancedreality reaches a new level. Placing virtual objects in space occurs instantly. Realistic object occlusion allows AR objects to appear in front of and behind real-world structures. Improved motion capture and human occlusion technologies are more accurate than ever. Now developers will be able to create even more exciting worlds.

CPU

The A12Z Bionic processor is designed for serious tasks,especially in professional level applications. The 8-core GPU delivers the seamless performance you need for 4K video editing, 3D design, augmented reality and more. Thanks to improved thermoregulation, the device can withstand higher peak loads and show more consistent performance, which is especially important for professionals. And Apple's Neural Engine enables machine learning right on the device, ideal for next-generation advanced applications.

Magic Keyboard

Today, Apple also introduced the new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro. It has a smooth design with infinitely adjustable tilt angle, backlit keyboard and trackpad.

Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro withTrackpad provides better typing on iPad. With iPadOS 13.4, Apple is bringing trackpad support to iPad, giving customers a completely new way to interact with iPad. Rather than copying the experience from macOS, trackpad support has been completely reimagined for the iPad. When users move their finger across the trackpad, the pointer elegantly transforms to highlight UI elements. Multi-Touch gestures on the trackpad allow you to quickly and easily navigate throughout the system without ever having to raise your hand.

Via the USB-C port on this keyboard you cancharge iPad. And Magic Keyboard protects the device on both sides. This specially designed keyboard attaches magnetically to the iPad Pro and holds it suspended.

The magic keyboard will be available for purchase in May.
