The smallest iPad gets a serious connectivity upgrade with USB-C running at 10Gbps — 20 times faster than the base iPad's USB 2.0 port. DisplayPort alt mode drives external displays at up to 4K@60Hz, turning this 8.3-inch tablet into a portable presentation tool. The A17 Pro chip brings the same silicon found in the iPhone 15 Pro, including a 6-core CPU and hardware ray tracing GPU. Apple Pencil Pro support via magnetic attachment adds precision input for creative work on the go.
