Today is the official launch day for the 10th-generation iPad and the M2 iPad Pro models that Apple announced last week, and we picked up one of each of the new tablets to give MacRumors readers a look at what’s new.
Apple added an upgraded M2 chip, which is the same chip that’s in the MacBook Air. It brings up to a 15 percent improvement in CPU speeds and up to a 35 percent improvement in GPU performance compared to the M1, but the M1 was already pretty robust, so casual users are not going to notice the upgrade.
There is a new Apple Pencil hover feature that allows the display to detect the Apple Pencil when it’s 12mm away from the screen for new sketching, drawing, and interface functionality, plus there’s WiFi 6E support for faster connection speeds, but that’s it.
