battery

5078mAh, roughly 1 day of mixed useThe 5078mAh cell on an 8.3-inch LCD screen works out to about 9 to 10 hours of continuous screen-on time, enough for a full day of reading, note-taking, and apps with moderate use.

display

8.3" LCD, 500 nits, 327ppi500 nits peak brightness handles normal indoor and outdoor use without washing out; the 327ppi density means text and graphics stay sharp at typical viewing distance, and the 3:2 ratio suits document work better than a wider aspect.

performance

Apple A17 Pro, 5-core GPUThe A17 Pro handles professional iPad apps (Adobe suite, video editing), web browsing, and gaming at sustained frame rates; the 5-core GPU scales down power draw when you are not pushing it, keeping battery life reasonable.

camera

12MP wide + 12MP ultrawide, 4K 60fpsThe f/1.8 wide lens captures detail in normal and low light, while the 122-degree ultrawide is useful for landscape and flat-lay shots; 4K at 60fps with gyro-EIS handles handheld video without jitter.

storage

128GB to 512GB, no expansionComes in three fixed tiers with no microSD slot; pick your size up front, as you cannot add space later—128GB fills fast if you shoot video or keep apps offline.

durability

Aluminum frame, Mohs 4 glass, 6.3mm thinGlass front and back on an aluminum frame are scratch-prone (Mohs 4 is softer than standard Gorilla Glass) and need a case in real use; at 293g and 6.3mm thick, it is light enough to hold one-handed but not reinforced against drops.

connectivity

Wi-Fi 6e, 5G option, USB-C 3.1Wi-Fi 6e covers the latest standard for fast home networks; the Wi-Fi + Cellular model adds 5G (where available) to stay online away from home; USB-C 3.1 supports fast file transfer and external monitors via DisplayPort.
