The full-screen HDR brightness rate was 1,251 nits.įor color output, the 11-inch iPad Pro 2021 keeps in line with Apple's tradition of going for realism: our colorimeter rated it for 113.1% of the sRGB spectrum. Testing proved that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro gets brighter on HDR content, where our test hit up to 1,582 and 1,588 nits. Amazon Prime Video, Apple's TV app, Disney Plus and Netflix all do. Those Mad Max: Fury Road scenes, for example looked similar on both, because the HBO Max app doesn't offer HDR.
