Cupertino, California – Apple’s recently unveiled iPad Pro comes with a hidden upgrade option that was not disclosed during the event. For an additional $600, customers can elevate from the 256GB base model to the 1TB version and receive not only double the RAM but also an enhanced 10-core chip compared to the nine-core M4 chip in the base model.
This unveiling marks a significant departure for Apple, as it is the first time the tech giant has allowed for a processor upgrade on a specific tablet model. In the past, Apple tablets all came with the same chip regardless of other customizable options. However, with the latest iPad Pro, Apple is breaking tradition by offering a more powerful chip as part of the storage upgrade package.
Aside from the processor upgrade, customers who opt for the higher storage capacity also have the choice to add Apple’s nanotexture glass for an extra $100. This special glass, designed to reduce glare, is not available on the lower-end models, adding an exclusive feature to the top-tier configurations of the iPad Pro.
In order to access the most high-performance version of the iPad Pro, consumers are now required to select the 1TB or 2TB configuration, indicating a shift in Apple’s strategy towards aligning storage upgrades with enhanced processing power. Users seeking the best possible performance from their iPad Pro will have to invest in the higher storage options in order to unlock the full potential of the device.
