You can also switch between various apps and programs quickly. The M2 processor is 18% faster than the M1 processor.

iPad Pro (2021): M1 processor

The iPad Pro from 2021 has a powerful processor too. Apple released the M1 chip in 2020. That processor was made for Apple macOS. As a result, the chip works well together with the software. That same processor is now available on the iPad Pro as well. This means that the software on the iPad Pro (2021) runs just as smoothly as on the MacBook. The M1 chip has aged a little compared to its predecessor, because the M2 chip is 18% faster.

iPad Pro (2022): hover, write, and draw

The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) works even better together with the Apple iPad Pro (2022) than its predecessor. You can now hover over the screen of the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil. Thanks to this, you know where exactly the tip of the Pencil will touch your screen and you can work even more accurately. You can also sketch and draw anything you like on your iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil 2. Thanks to the pressure point sensitivity, you can easily draw thick and thin lines. Tap the Apple Pencil 2 to switch between different functions. For example, switch from a pencil to an eraser.

iPad Pro (2021): write and draw

You don't have a hover function with the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) on the iPad Pro (2021). Due to this, you won't see where the tip of your Pencil will end up on the screen. But you can enjoy all the other function of the Apple Pencil with the iPad Pro (2021) and the Apple Pencil 2. Thanks to palm rejection, you can easily rest your palm on the screen of your iPad Pro without drawing random lines. Press the Pencil harder onto the screen to draw thicker lines.

Conclusion

Thanks to the M2 processor in the Apple iPad Pro (2022), this model has really been improved. The tablet is 18% faster than the 2021 model. Hovering with the Apple Pencil 2 is a useful function if you often work on graphic design projects on your iPad. Do you have the iPad Pro (2021)? You'll be set for a while.
