New 2024 M4 iPad Pro and ultra resolution

We are waiting still for M1 Support on iPad…
I don‘t think iPad will ever get a better graphics profile than basic.

Did Zwift ever confirm that they were releasing a better graphics profile for the M1?

It’s starting to feel like someone has jumped the gun here, confirming something they shouldn’t have and now just ignoring customer requests. Zwift really don’t do customer service that well do they?

Maybe if we start asking for M5 support now it could arrive for next year, haha (or maybe M8… :grimacing: )

I do wish we could be kept updated, especially considering the approach of indoor season and holiday sales, even if the answer is (like the Apple Watch) that they’re running into more challenges than expected.

Maybe if integration of better assets and higher resolution is a hurdle, in the meantime the framerate could be unlocked?

@AlanZHQ could you provide any updates on support of M4 chip for higher resolution on Ipad Pro? Also, will this change affect M2 chips on Ipad Air?

Update 1.69??? So we’ve had it for a few months and no one noticed any difference. What does that tell you? Come on, you can do much better than this.

What happened to M4 IPads getting ultra graphics?

Thanks for the update, this is promising! Have been waiting to hear something before jumping back in, so looking forward to checking out the difference soon.

Not sure Zwift still operates under the Basic/Medium/High/Ultra nomenclature, but does this amount to Ultra for the M4? A bit surprised no increases to model geometry or explicitly lighting (maybe AA+shadow+bloom is all it is).

Any adjustment to frame rate? The 30hz lock has always been super painful given these 120hz screens. To the point it almost feels like a penalty in races.
