Packed with leading-edge technology and crafted specifically for the professional and casual user, this new M4 iPad Pro is surely set to change the narrative of what is possible with a tablet. This newsletter is dedicated to taking a deeper look at these features, their prices, and availability in the country of Saudi Arabia. Likewise, we address a few questions that may appropriately serve to guide you.
Introduction
Apple's iPad Pro has always been meant for innovations. Right from its invention, Apple kept working on it to make it a more potent, versatile, and, of course, indispensable assisting device for professionals in almost every walk of life. All this innovation went a step further with the M4 iPad Pro while filling it with new utility and features that make any Saudi's life easy.
It means everything—productivity, creativity, and entertainment—for a country like Saudi Arabia, for which Vision 2030 is underpinned by the digital transformation agenda. Whether a student, professional, or content creator, this device has something for everyone. Focusing on performance, productivity, and unbeatable user experience, the M4 iPad Pro can be seen creating ripples in Saudi Arabia.
Design and Display
Mostly, what grabs one's eye concerning the M4 iPad Pro is its design. Apple has made sure that the language of the sleek design idiom remains typical with design eschewing minimalism but with a few refinements each year. This device tricked one to be so thin and light, so it is easily portable on commutes around Riyadh or traveling in the Kingdom.
So, in relation to the real magic, it is on the display of the M4 iPad Pro. First off, it features a Liquid Retina XDR display that features incredible color accuracy, brightness, and contrast. This is where such innovation comes in handy towards creative professionals in Saudi Arabia interested in maybe graphic design or video work, where colors are perfectly portrayed in their work. There's 120Hz ProMotion technology for smooth scrolling and responsiveness, making any interaction with the device fluid and natural.
Performance and M4 chip
At the heart of the M4 iPad Pro is the all-new M4 chip, their most powerful chip to have ever been stuffed into a tablet. In this regard, the iPad comes with desktop-class performance, probably better than it has ever been. The M4 chip in it holds an 8-core CPU, 16-core Neural Engine, and 12-core GPU. Each of these chips runs in cooperation to facilitate performance of unprecedented levels.
That is to say, there is absolutely nothing out of reach of what users could do, basically in Saudi Arabia, on the M4 iPad Pro—be it in total frenetic multitasking, indulging in high-speed gaming or executing professional-grade, never-before video-editing tasks. The device is also extremely energy-efficient, ensuring you can use it for long periods without worrying about battery life.
Storage and Connectivity
Storage on these new M4 iPad Pro models starts at 128GB, and the top-level variant is at 2TB—all usable space, meaning the user will only pick up what will be useful to them and be able to store many multimedia files or something that requires ample room to store applications and documents. Storage is also blazingly fast with NVMe support on the technology that ensures you get quick access to your data—from.
Where connectivity is concerned, M4 iPad Pro is future-proof. It has a 5G modem, which more than meets its increasing offering in the key cities across Saudi Arabia: Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. This implies you will be able to surf at the highest possible broadband speed while streaming videos, larger file downloads, or video conferencing. The device also supports Wi-Fi 6E so that you have the best possible wireless connectivity even within crowded networks.
Camera and Audio
The camera system provided with the M4 iPad Pro is versatile and comprises much-needed flexibility. Inside, you'll find a 12MP wide and a 10MP ultra-wide sensor truly taking great pictures and videos. It enables wide landscape shots of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or high-quality photos and videos for your social media platforms.
The front-facing camera also got a bump to 12MP ultra-wide power, great for video calls and selfies. The professional class should find the Center Stage feature quite nifty for their habitual engagements in video calls: it keeps them well-framed in the shot, even while moving around. It features a Quad-Speaker System, providing immersive and pristine audio quality in iPad Pro M4. Music or movies and video calls produce sound rich and clear while listening.
Software and iPadOS 18
The M4 iPad Pro is powered by iPadOS 18, designed to maximize the full power of the M4 chip.
This version of iPadOS comes with so many more features that enhance being productive and creative. It is very easy to multitask now as apps can run side by side in various windows. The new Quick Note feature lets you jot down ideas or notes without leaving the app you are in—easily capture your thoughts on the fly.
For users in Saudi Arabia, this is normally a multilingual environment: they can now get even better support for languages with iPadOS 18 by supporting many more languages and introducing enhanced typing and handwriting recognition for Arabic, which will make alternating between these languages extremely seamlessly.
Matching the M4 iPad Pro with the Lv. 50 Apple Pencil Plus and Cooler Master Magic Keyboard
The second-generation Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard capabilities mean that the M4 iPad Pro is really an indispensable tool that balances both functional creatives in Saudi Arabia and productivity-driven professionals within the country.
Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard
The second-generation Apple Pencil can be a game-changer for any user of an M4 iPad Pro, from creative domains like artistic studies through design, architecture, and much more. It is highly engineered to feel and act easy and organic, much like working with a traditional pencil on paper.
It comes with pressure sensitivity that enables subtle shading and line variation, thus making this device such an important tool for any digital artist. With low latency, the Apple Pencil makes sure there won't be some noticeable delay between your hand movement and that stroke shortly appearing on the screen, hence so easy and responsive to use.
The double-tap feature of the Apple Pencil is another step in ease, whereby users can change between their tools at will—for instance, from pencil to eraser—with just a tap. This really cleans up the workflow by reducing the interaction with on-screen menus all the time, which is quite distracting and disruptive to the creative process.
Furthermore, the magnetic attachment at the side of the iPad Pro does more than just keep the Pencil within reach: it charges wirelessly. This way, one will never be left without power the very moment they require it most, given that every time it lies idle, it charges.
The Magic Keyboard elevates this M4 iPad Pro into an almost fully functional and mobile workstation. It holds its own standard-size keyboard, which is relatively comfortable to type on, with the added benefit of being quite passable in serving up a typing experience in low-lit areas.
Keys have enough travel to make typing as good as—really quite similar to—typing on a regular laptop. One of the big improvements is, with the built-in trackpad, precision control over the cursor can be easily achieved, which proves to be very beneficial when performing functions like editing text, graphic designing, and moving through huge documents or spreadsheets.
With Magic Keyboard, the iPad Pro adjusts to perfect viewing angles, whether working on a desk, in a cafe, or on the go—a right requirement by professionals who need versatile devices to adjust to various work scenarios. This strong hinge will hold the iPad in its place and provide stability even when typing on uneven surfaces.
In this regard, the Apple Pencil with the Magic Keyboard delivers, for professionals in Saudi Arabia, whether in Jeddah, Riyadh, Dhahran, among other places, what can probably be said to be the most powerful, portable solution and which can replace some traditional laptops with an M4 iPad Pro. Whether you are sketching out your architectural designs, drafting away at your documents, or editing the current photos, the iPad Pro, with these accessories, stands to better rise as an item that will handle multitudes of tasks with flair.
Price
This is a high-end offering from M4 in the iPad range, as is the price, reflecting the perks the state-of-the-art technology brings with it. In Saudi, prices are guaranteed to start from SAR 4,799 for the base variant of the 11-inch variant and to go up to SAR 6,299 for the bigger sibling, the 12.9-inch device. As usual, these prices will be for the entry-level models with 128GB of storage.

An option also exists for a cellular-embedded choice, which allows this iPad Pro to access the internet whenever there is cellular service, making it a very versatile tool for working professionals on the move.
And there should be no doubt that an M4 iPad Pro is an expensive investment, the long-term value of which one should not forget. The M4 chip is powering the same architecture as the last MacBooks by Apple, in a tablet form factor. That puts it head and shoulders above any other tablet out there for handling demanding tasks seamlessly, like video editing or 3D rendering.
For those professionals working in these high-demand fields, this M4 iPad Pro will extend far towards providing really useful tools for an increase in productivity and efficiency in graphic design, video processing, and architecture.
Not to mention, the new Liquid Retina XDR display on the iPad Pro, more ideally in the 12.9-inch model, is just brilliant. It has extreme dynamic range, hence perfect for any work in need of color accuracy—say, photo editing and video production. And with ProMotion technology having a 120Hz refreshing rate, everything is smooth, literally, from scrolling through documents to playing resource-intensive games.
Considering the price, the iPad Pro is hands down on the higher side for any consumer in Saudi Arabia. But then one should weigh this against the device's versatility—for it is not a mere tablet but a device that takes the place of your laptop or your drawing tablet, and in some cases even your desktop computer.
The M4 iPad Pro delivers great value when measured by its pro features and the ecosystem of accessories around accessories like the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard that empower it.
