The iPad Pro 11-Inch (Wi-Fi/Cellular China - 4th Gen) has a fully-laminated, antireflective 11" LED-backlit 2388x1668 "Liquid Retina" display (264 ppi, 600 nits) within a slim black bezel, encased in a thin chassis with rounded corners and flat sides. It's available in silver or "Space Gray."

This iPad Pro is powered by a 3.49 GHz Apple M2 processor with 8 cores (4 performance, 4 efficiency), a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and 100 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Models with 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of storage have 8 GB of RAM, while 1 TB or 2 TB models have 16 GB. It also includes a Thunderbolt / USB 4 port.

Like its predecessors, the iPad Pro 11" (4th Gen) models support LiDAR, external keyboards and trackpads, and the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (A2051, MU8F2AM/A, US$129), which charges magnetically and adds a new "Hover" feature. The front 12-megapixel "TrueDepth" camera supports "Center Stage" and "Face ID," while the dual rear camera has 12-megapixel wide and 10-megapixel ultra-wide lenses.

Connectivity includes Thunderbolt / USB 4, dual-band 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6E) with 2x2 MIMO, and Bluetooth 5.3. It also has five microphones and a four-speaker system.

Battery life is rated at 10 hours for Wi-Fi web surfing or video, and 9 hours on cellular data. This model has a nano-SIM slot but does not support eSIM.

Compared to its predecessor, this iPad Pro 11-Inch (4th Gen) model maintains the same size, display, and cameras but features a faster processor and architecture, faster Wi-Fi, more advanced Bluetooth, ProRes video capture, and the new Apple Pencil "Hover" feature.

The M2-powered 11-inch iPad Pro for mainland China (A2762) was assessed as a powerful, if incremental, evolution. Its main draw was the faster M2 processor, which offered a noticeable speed increase for demanding apps and graphics-intensive tasks. The new Apple Pencil Hover feature was also a key selling point, lauded as a valuable tool for artists and designers seeking greater precision. This model's cellular capabilities were specifically tailored for China's 5G and 4G networks, ensuring reliable and fast connectivity for local users. However, the device was otherwise identical to its M1 predecessor, with the same chassis, screen, and camera system. This made it a fantastic choice for first-time Pro buyers in China or those upgrading from a much older iPad, but it didn't present a compelling upgrade path for those who had purchased the previous year's model. It remained the most powerful tablet in its size class on the Chinese market.
