Why You Can Trust CNET Apple's 2022 iPad Pro Sees First Discount With $50 Price Cut at Amazon
Here's your first chance to save on the just-released flagship iPad model.
Having been unveiled just last month, you can already save on Apple's iPad Pro M2. The flagship 2022 iPad model regularly starts at $799 for the 11-inch variant, though you can nab one for just $749 via Amazon. That $50 price cut, which is being matched at B&H Photo, is the first real iPad Pro M2 deal we've seen since its launch and a neat way to save on one ahead of the holidays as Black Friday sales start to heat up.
Design-wise, the new 2022 iPad Pro looks almost identical to its predecessor, though it does feature some significant internal spec bumps this year with the addition of the M2 chip and Wi-Fi 6E. According to Apple, CPU performance is improved by 15% compared to the M1 chip, with 35% better graphics performance. The iPad Pro M2 also offers a new hover experience with Apple's Pencil 2, with the stylus now being detected up to 12 mm above the display.
In addition to those new features, the 2022 iPad Pro maintains an 11-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with ProMotion, True Tone, and P3 wide color as well as a camera array comprising a 12-megapixel wide camera, 10-megapixel ultrawide lens, and lidar scanner for immersive AR experiences. Face ID, a USB-C connector with support for Thunderbolt/USB 4 and 10-hour battery life all remain, too.
