Apple TV Plus content on iPad Pro 11-inch 2018 Hi there! I was watching Defending Jacob and See on my iPad Pro 11” 2018.... Awesome quality. What’s the max resolution on the iPad Pro? It looks like... 2K. The detail and sharpness when you pinch and zoom is amazing. Thanks.

If you are watching 4K content then downscaling to 1080p will worsen the visual quality.
