Apple announced a bunch of new products (you can read the summary from Here) without a conference or media hype as it usually happens, and perhaps this tells us that these products do not offer much, and for this the company decided that it was not worth holding a separate conference for it. However, the new iPad Pro was the focus of everyone's attention because it came with some powerful updates, the most important of which is the M2 chip Which offers unprecedented performance and high-speed wireless connectivity, but is this enough for the upgrade, during the following lines we will learn about the most prominent differences and differences between the iPad Pro 2021 with the M1 chip and the new iPad Pro 2022 with the M2 chip, and then the decision is yours.
Graphic Design
The design hasn't changed much between both devices, which is why you'll find the thinner black bezels and flat, rectangular aluminum body found on last year's models. They even have the same dimensions, weight, and even colors are the same. Both devices come in silver and space gray, so you won't be able to tell them apart if you put them on. next to each other.
the screen

Not only that, the 12.9-inch model still had the same 1600 nits of brightness while the 11-inch model still had the same 600 nits of brightness.
the performance
The differences between iPad Pro 2022 and iPad Pro 2021 will appear in performance thanks to the M2 chip, which is the most important upgrade in the new iPad Pro. According to Apple, the M2 chip features an eight-core CPU that provides 15% faster performance compared to the M1 chip, moreover, features The M2 chip also has a bandwidth of up to 100GB/s, which is 50% higher than the M1 chip Also, the 16-core Neural Engine in the M2 chip can process up to 15.8 trillion operations per second, which is more than the M1 chip by 40%, and overall With the M2 chip, the new device will be able to capture ProRes video and even transmit ProRes video signals 3 times faster than the previous version powered by the M1 chip.
Camera
The new iPad Pro has the same cameras as last year's models. The new models come with two cameras on the back, a 12 MP wide camera (ƒ/ 1.8 aperture) and a 10 MP Ultra Wide camera (ƒ/ 2.4 aperture) with a wider field of view of up to 125 degrees.
On the front, there is a 12MP ultra-wide camera (ƒ/2.4 aperture) with a 122-degree field of view. It can record 1080p video at 60 frames per second with auto-tracking support.
However, there are two features found in the new iPad Pro camera, which you will not find in the camera of the previous version, which are ProRes video recording and cinematic mode, which is why the camera can capture 1080p or 4k video at up to 60 frames per second or capture ProRes video in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second.
Connection and battery
As for wireless connectivity, last year’s models support Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0, but the new iPad Pro models, support the latest generation of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which are Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, which means getting faster connection speeds to make downloads faster up to 2.4Gb /s and twice as fast as the previous generation and all models support XNUMXG networks.

From watching a video or surfing the Internet when connected to a Wi-Fi network and 9 hours when using the package (cellular data).
Apple Pencil and keyboard
The iPad Pro supports the previous and current version, the second generation Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard, but the difference here is that the new iPad Pro has a new feature, which is the hovering Apple Pencil thanks to the iPadOS 16 operating system, which allows the device to detect the Apple Pencil from a distance of 12 mm above the screen and this allows the user to preview what they want before doing so.
In the end, it can be said that the iPad Pro with the M2 chip and the iPad Pro with the M1 chip are similar in most points, starting with the design and screen and even the battery capacity, but the new iPad Pro excels in two points, the first is the graphics processing unit and the second is the new features in Camera, other than that, you won't find other differences between all models, so if you need a more powerful graphics processor or want to record videos in higher quality, then the new iPad Pro with M2 chip will be the right choice for you.

Thanks for the great article 🌹
The worst thing about the comment system here is that no one will reply to you.
Dozens of times I write an inquiry about the article, but the reader and writer never care about you
When will iOS 16 be officially released for the iPad?
Next Monday, October 24, God willing
Nice and useful article. Is the iPad Pro 12 inch screen made of OLED?

Thank you for this article and the adequate explanation, but as I said in previous articles, a bankrupt company and its concern is only withdrawing the customers’ money alone, but the small edges and the magnifying glass, the camera lens, an hour with two cameras and an hour with three cameras. This is nothing new.
It is not a charitable company.. It is a commercial (profit) company, so it must seek to withdraw money from customers.. So the customer must be aware and know exactly what he wants from services and features 🤗
Explanation above the level 👌 You are creative 🫶🏼
Thank you very much.. the article is exactly what I needed!
What about the prices, will there be a difference?
When is iPadOS 16 coming out?!
