Display13-inch Liquid Retina, LED-backlit IPS; 2732 × 2048 pixels, 264 ppi; 600 nits; P3 wide colour; True Tone; fully laminated; antireflective coating

Full lamination removes the gap between the glass and the panel, so the pencil tip appears closer to the image. Apple ProMotion (120 Hz) is not on this model.

11-inch Liquid Retina, LED-backlit with IPS technology; 2388 × 1668 pixels, 264 ppi; ProMotion; wide colour (P3), True Tone; anti-reflective coating (1.8% reflectivity)

ProMotion varies the refresh rate up to 120 Hz to keep scrolling and Apple Pencil drawing smooth. SDR brightness is 600 nits max; the mini-LED XDR display of the 12.9-inch model is not used here. The fully laminated display removes the gap between glass and panel so the pencil tip appears closer to the line.
