When Apple announced the M4 iPad Pro earlier this month it brought an end to months upon months of rumors. Those rumors meant that we knew almost all there was to know about the new tablet, including its tandem OLED display and repositioned FaceTime camera. But there was one surprise — the debut of the M4 chip.
There had been a suggestion by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman that Apple could choose to skip the M3 entirely and move from the M2 iPad Pro to an all-new M4 variant, but it was far from confirmed. Until it was, of course, and the M4 is now proving itself to be a capable operator at the very high end of not only Apple's silicon lineup but also that of every other chip company, too.
