Verdict

The 2022 Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (6th Generation) is a high-performance tablet featuring the powerful M2 chip with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, paired with 16GB of RAM and a massive 1TB of storage. Its standout characteristic is the 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, which utilizes mini-LED technology to deliver 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate. Main pros include its laptop-level processing power for professional creative workflows, exceptional display quality for HDR content, and advanced connectivity with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and a Thunderbolt/USB 4 port. However, notable cons include its high price point, a front-facing camera still positioned on the short edge which makes landscape video calls awkward, and a battery life that, while rated for 10 hours, can drain significantly faster under heavy pro workloads.
