How to Get iPad Pro Resolution on iPad Air

Apple announced the iPad Pro last week, which has a huge 12.9-inch display with higher resolution than the iPad Air, but here’s how to get the iPad Pro resolution on the iPad Air and iPad mini.

The iPad Pro is Apple’s latest addition to the iPad lineup, set to launch in November. Its main feature is its 12.9-inch display, which provides a screen as large as the MacBook Air’s screen but still retains the iconic iPad design almost as thin as the iPad Air.

Its performance is also unmatched, rocking Apple’s new A9X processor with 4GB of RAM making it the most powerful iPad Apple has ever produced.

Of course, with that larger screen comes a higher resolution that the iPad Air can’t touch. The iPad Pro rocks 2732×2048 resolution, which is considerably higher than the iPad Air’s 2048×1536 resolution, but it’s absolutely necessary to maintain the Retina-quality resolution the iPad has had for several years.

However, one of the iPad Pro’s biggest drawbacks is its price. The tablet will start at $799 at launch and go up to $1,079 for the 128GB WiFi+Cellular model. That’s a pretty decent penny to pay for an iPad, especially if you’re mostly a casual user, but if that high resolution is screaming your name, all hope is not lost.

Here’s how to get iPad Pro resolution on your iPad Air or iPad mini.

Having a higher resolution means you have more screen real estate. In other words, a higher resolution on a screen means you can fit more information on the screen at the same time, which can come in handy at times.

While the iPad Air already comes with a ridiculous resolution, it doesn’t hurt to upgrade it a bit to match the 2732×2048 resolution of the iPad Pro, but how exactly do you do that?

First, your iPad needs to be jailbroken. It’s actually a pretty easy process and we have a step-by-step guide. The only requirement is that your iPad must be running iOS 8.4.0 or earlier as iOS 8.4.1 is unbreakable.

Once your iPad is jailbroken, simply open Cydia, click the icon at the bottom, the icon in the top corner, and then the icon.

Then, in the dropdown text box that appears, you will type: . This is the repository for the Cydia tweak we’ll need to allow you to increase the resolution of your iPad.

Once the repository is installed tap the tab under Cydia and type. That’s the name of the tweak we’re looking for. Go ahead and install it.

Once installed go to Settings on your iPad and swipe down on the sidebar. From here, we’ll go into a custom resolution.

Type in the “X” field and type in the “Y” field. Hide the keyboard and then tap on it and then on when the popup pops up. Your iPad will go black for a few seconds but will come back running the new resolution.

From there, you’ll be ready to go and you can start using your iPad in the new iPad Pro resolution. As you’ll probably notice, everything looks smaller, but that means more information can fit on the screen at once.

There are a few craps you might notice, including the keyboard that doesn’t extend across the width of the screen, and the photo thumbnails in the Photos app may give you bright pink instead of the actual thumbnail, but other than that the tweak works pretty well and the resolution works fine too.

However, games are something that won’t use the new resolution because once you launch them the iPad will revert to its native resolution, but when you exit the game you will be back to the custom resolution you entered. inside.

Upscale can also be useful on older devices like the iPhone 5s where you can use Upscale to get the same resolution as the iPhone 6.
