The Apple iPad Pro 13 (2024) has a footprint of 281.6 × 215.5 mm with a volume of 309.49 cm³, and its 5.1 mm thickness keeps the overall form factor notably slim for a 13-inch tablet. It weighs 582 g and supports pen tilt sensitivity, though neither a stylus nor a detachable keyboard is included in the box. The device carries no water resistance rating and is rated for operation between 0 °C and 40 °C.
The iPad Pro 13 (2024) features a 13-inch OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 2752 × 2064 px at 264 ppi, delivering a 100000:1 contrast ratio and a typical brightness of 1000 nits. The display runs at a 120 Hz refresh rate with a matching 120 Hz touch sampling rate, and includes an anti-reflection coating for reduced glare. It supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision, while neither branded damage-resistant glass nor sapphire glass is used for the panel surface.
The iPad Pro 13 (2024) is powered by the Apple M4, a 3 nm chip housing 28 billion transistors that runs 10 CPU threads across four performance cores at 4.05 GHz and six efficiency cores at 2.75 GHz, with big.LITTLE and HMP scheduling in use. It comes with 16 GB of RAM running at 3750 MHz and a maximum memory bandwidth of 120 GB/s, with the chip supporting up to 24 GB total — though ECC memory is not supported and there is no external memory slot, with internal storage reaching up to 2000 GB. The integrated GPU operates at 4060 MHz and can drive up to two displays simultaneously, while the SoC also includes integrated LTE, NX bit support, and TrustZone security. The chip is 64-bit compatible and posted a Geekbench score of 13387.
The iPad Pro 13 (2024) carries a 12 MP single-lens rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture, a back-illuminated CMOS sensor, and 2x optical zoom, capable of recording 4K video at 60 fps with HDR10 support and continuous autofocus during recording. The flash system uses four LEDs in a dual-tone configuration, though there is no RGB flash, no video light, and no optical image stabilization. Manual controls cover ISO, focus, exposure, and white balance, while burst mode, touch autofocus, slow-motion video, timelapse, and in-camera panoramas are all available — standard 360° panoramas are not supported. The 12 MP front camera has an f/2.4 aperture and includes HDR mode, but lacks a front-facing flash. Neither 3D photo or video recording nor manual shutter speed control is offered on either camera.
The iPad Pro 13 (2024) includes stereo speakers and an array of five microphones for audio input, but omits both a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a built-in radio.
The iPad Pro 13 (2024) is equipped with a 10340 mAh rechargeable battery rated for up to 9 hours of use, and supports fast charging for quicker top-ups. A battery level indicator is present, though the battery is non-removable and wireless charging is not supported.
The iPad Pro 13 (2024) connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi 6E (with backward compatibility down to Wi-Fi 4), Bluetooth 5.3, and a 5G-capable cellular module backed by one physical SIM slot and one eSIM. Wired connectivity is handled through a USB4 Type-C port, though there is no HDMI output, Ethernet support, or NFC. Sensors on board include a gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, compass, and infrared sensor, and the device supports GPS with Galileo for positioning and device tracking. Authentication is handled through 3D facial recognition — there is no fingerprint scanner or iris scanner. On the software side, the tablet receives direct OS updates from the vendor and supports a broad range of productivity and system features including split screen, Picture-in-Picture, SharePlay, Live Text, focus modes, widgets, AirPlay, offline voice recognition, voice commands, full-page screenshots, Quick Start, media picker, Wi-Fi password sharing, app offloading, dark mode, and battery health check. Theme customization, dynamic theming, an extra dim mode, and the ability to play games while downloading are not available, and the device does not support multi-user accounts. Privacy features are extensive, covering Mail Privacy Protection, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, app tracking blocking, cross-site tracking prevention, and clipboard warnings, alongside on-device machine learning. Child lock, customizable notifications, notification permission controls, and sharing intents round out the feature set, while ANT+, DLNA certification, and a built-in projector are absent.
The iPad Pro 13 (2024) uses DDR5 memory with a maximum RAM speed of 6400 MHz, and its chip is classified under the Laptop and Desktop CPU type. The rear camera also supports phase-detection autofocus for stills.
