Apple iPad Pro 6th Gen 12.9" 2022, M2, 8GB, 256GB, Cellular, Space Gray
The 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with 1600 nits peak brightness and 120Hz ProMotion delivers vivid HDR for color-critical work, paired with the M2 8-core chip and 256GB storage. Its Thunderbolt port and 5G connectivity enable fast external file transfers and on-the-go tethering, while Face unlock and keyboard connector support a laptop-like workflow. Best for digital artists and designers prioritizing an expansive, bright canvas and Thunderbolt peripheral speed, though a 3.6/5 customer rating indicates reliability concerns.
