Apple’s taken the smarts from its XDR display to make the iPad Pro 2021 more pro-level, giving creatives extreme dynamic range (XDR) wherever they can bring the 1.5-pound tablet.
Inside that tablet, there are 10,000 mini-LEDs, which are 120x smaller than the LEDs in the 2020 iPad Pro.
The XDR display is rated for 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness, and 1,600 nits of peak brightness in HDR.
The previous iPad Pro maxed out at 559 nits, according to our testing.
Apple rates the mini-LED iPad Pro for a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio.
