Apple iPad Pro 11 Review- Design and Display

Recently, I had the pleasure of diving deep into the world of the Apple iPad Pro 11-inch, and let’s just say it was a visual treat from the get-go.

Starting with the design, Apple keeps things sleek and modern, but it’s the display that really steals the show. Named the ‘Liquid Retina’, it paints a vivid picture, packed with detail thanks to its impressive resolution of 2388 x 1668 pixels.

For someone like me who craves clarity, this resolution combined with a PPI (pixels per inch) of 264 makes everything from photos to text pop with precision.

I often found myself lost in videos, thanks to that brightness and the vibrant color tone offered by the P3 wide spectrum. Images felt alive and authentic, colors bursting with a realism that’s hard to find elsewhere.

But, the tech doesn’t stop there. The LED backlight ensures a consistent luminosity, enhancing those already vibrant visuals. And for someone who loves to see more screen and less bezel, the screen-to-body ratio of roughly 82.9% is an absolute win. It’s amazing how Apple managed to pack so much display into such a compact design.

Whether you’re eyeing the display type, refresh rate, or the nits, this gadget checks all the boxes. If visuals matter to you as much as they do to me, this iPad is a no-brainer.
