Both M4 iPad Pro sizes carry one USB-C port running Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4 at 40 Gbps — four times the iPad Air's data rate — and it drives an external display up to 6K@60Hz. Charging, data and video all share that one port, so a Thunderbolt dock is the difference between a tablet and a workstation. The 11-inch and 13-inch differ in panel size and model number only.
Apple’s M4 iPad Pro in 11-inch and 13-inch tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR sizes. Single Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4 port at 40 Gbps.
