It's important to know that this A2837 iPad Pro M4 11-Inch supports 5G NR on bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n14, n20, n25, n26, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n70, n71, n75, n76, n77, n78, and n79, but it does not support 5G NR mmWave. This single model is sold globally, except for mainland China.

The iPad Pro M4 11-Inch (Wi-Fi+Cellular) features an antireflective 11-inch "Tandem OLED" backlit 2420x1668 "Ultra Retina XDR" display (264 ppi, 1000 nits max brightness). It is framed by a thin black bezel and housed in a slim case with rounded corners and flat sides, available in either silver or a dark "Space Black."

This iPad Pro is powered by a 4.4 GHz Apple M4 processor, a 10-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine, with 120 GB/s memory bandwidth. Models with 256 GB or 512 GB of storage have 9 processor cores (3 performance, 6 efficiency) and 8 GB of RAM. Models with 1 TB or 2 TB of storage have 10 processor cores (4 performance, 6 efficiency) and 16 GB of RAM. The 1 TB and 2 TB models can be upgraded with "Nano-texture glass" for an additional US$100.

The iPad Pro M4 11" models have a Thunderbolt / USB 4 port, a "Smart Connector" for keyboards, and support for the new Apple Pencil Pro with enhanced interactivity. It also has a landscape-oriented, front-mounted 12-megapixel "TrueDepth" camera with "Center Stage" and "Face ID," and a 12-megapixel "Wide" rear camera that shoots 4K.

Connectivity includes dual-band 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6E) with 2x2 MIMO and Bluetooth 5.3. It has a four-mic array 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 uses a software-based eSIM and has no physical SIM slot.

Compared to its predecessor, the iPad Pro M4 11-Inch (Wi-Fi+Cellular) and its siblings are thinner, faster, with a higher-quality display, a landscape front camera, and support for the more capable Apple Pencil Pro. However, it lacks a rear "Ultra Wide" camera, has one fewer microphone, and the US cellular model no longer supports mmWave 5G or nano SIMs.

The M4-powered 11-inch iPad Pro with cellular was evaluated as the pinnacle of portable performance, combining a stunningly thin design with the immense power of the M4 chip and the freedom of 5G. The tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR display was universally praised for its spectacular brightness and contrast. The M4 processor delivered a significant performance boost, making pro-level tasks feel effortless. A key ergonomic improvement was the new landscape-oriented front camera, which made video conferencing much more natural. Support for the new Apple Pencil Pro, with its advanced interactive features, was a major draw for creative professionals. This global model's move to eSIM-only was noted as a forward-looking step, though potentially inconvenient for some users. While it came at a high price, its combination of a best-in-class display, desktop-grade power, and constant connectivity made it the ultimate tool for professionals who need to work from anywhere.
