Apple launched its first M2-powered iPad Pro 2022 as we anticipated in last week’s report. This next-generation iPad Pro doesn’t include any major changes like its predecessor, except for a new powerful chipset.
The company hasn’t hosted an event for this launch, and they only made the announcement with a press release from the newsroom, but that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of details, so here are the details, let’s talk about price and availability.
Style of iPad Pro 2022
This iPad doesn’t seem to have any new design changes, and it still has the same bezels, flat edges, and bold chassis with a different look of color. Also, it has Face ID for authentication and security.
There are two color options for both models: Space Gray and Silver. As usual, its body is made of the same aluminum construction.
Performance
In terms of performance, there’s no doubt that it has the Apple M2 chip, which was really well benchmarked on the MacBook, so it should do well on that as well since it has an 8-core CPU and a 10-core processor. The core is the GPU.

It comes with a different internal storage option, starting at 128GB, and last up to 2TB. Also, it runs on iPadOS 16, and next week too, we’ll see some more upgrades.
