Key Takeaways

11-inch M4 Pro brings tandem OLED and a 5.3 mm chassis; do not confuse with the larger 13-inch M4.

Ultra Retina XDR OLED and M4 performance top-tier for a tablet.

Base 256/512GB configs get 8GB RAM and a 9-core M4; 1TB/2TB unlock 16GB and a 10-core CPU.

IPadOS still caps laptop-like workflows even when the M4 hardware has headroom.
