After seeing the first cash deal on Apple’s new M2 iPad Air this past weekend, Amazon has now knocked $49 off the new M4 iPad Pro as well. After pre-orders went live on all configurations last week, Best Buy landed with a $50 discount that was only available to its paid My Best Buy Plus members. But Amazon is now offering the first straight up cash discount for everyone with the base model 256GB 11-inch M4 iPad Pro down at $949.99 shipped. Regularly $999, this is $49 off, the best cash discount we have seen yet, and now, the lowest point of entry into Apple’s new M4, pro-grade tablet experience. As of right now, this deal is only available on the Wi-Fi version, but does land on both the Space Black and Silver models. Head below for more details.
First deals on Apple’s new M4 iPad Pro are here
While we are already detailed the differences between the previous-generation M2 iPad Pro and Apple’s latest, let’s take a look at some highlights right here. Apple says its new M4 iPad Pro is its thinnest yet, complete with the new Ultra Retina XDR display – This new OLED display is said to deliver brighter highlights, better detailing in the shadows and low light, and “exceptional color accuracy” by way of ProMotion, P3 wide color, and True Tone.
The 12MP ultra wide lens with Center Stage is now housed on the long landscape edge of the device for “videoconferencing or epic Portrait mode selfies,” while the 12MP Wide back camera delivers adaptive True Tone flash for photos and 4K video with ProRes support.
The 10-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine join Apple’s latest and most advance silicon with the brand new M4 chip – the first Apple device to feature it. Ready to take on serious video editing and music production sessions, Apple has also unleashed new versions of Final Cut and Logic Pro for iPad set to debut starting today.
The new M4 iPad Pro supports the new Apple Pencil Pro, much like the now discounted iPad Air M2, and we are also tracking the first deals on Apple’s new iPad Pro M4 Magic Keyboard Case for folks looking to complete the setup with the latest typing and trackpad attachment.
