Apple announces new iPad Pro with M4, iPad Air tablets
Apple announced new versions of its iPad Air and iPad Pro tablet computers.
They’re the first new iPad models Apple has released since October 2022.
iPad Pro will use a new kind of display called the OLED — the same technology Apple uses on its iPhones — it will come in two sizes, an 11-inch and a 13-inch model. It’s Apple’s most expensive and advanced tablet, the smaller iPad Pro starts at $999.
The iPad Pro will snap into a new case that Apple calls Magic Keyboard- it will have a function keys row and an aluminum trackpad. This will make using an iPad Pro feel similar to a laptop experience.
Featuring a faster CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine in M2, the new iPad Air offers even more performance and is an incredibly powerful device for artificial intelligence. The front-facing Ultra Wide 12MP camera with Center Stage is now located along the landscape edge of iPad Air, which is perfect for video calls. It also includes faster Wi-Fi, and cellular models include super-fast 5G, so users can stay connected on the go. With a portable design, all-day battery life, a brilliant Liquid Retina display, and support for Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C), and Magic Keyboard, iPad Air empowers users to be even more productive and creative. The new iPad Air is available in new blue and purple finishes, along with starlight and space gray. The 11-inch iPad Air still starts at just $599, and the 13-inch iPad Air is a fantastic value at just $799. Customers can order the new iPad Air today, with availability beginning Wednesday, May 15.
iPad Air: Now Available in Two Sizes
The redesigned 11-inch iPad Air is super-portable, perfect for getting work done on the go. For users who want a larger display, the new 13-inch iPad Air offers 30 percent more screen real estate than the 11-inch model. The expansive display gives users more space to capture their ideas in apps like Freeform, or view multiple apps using Split View in iPadOS. Both models include advanced displays with a Liquid Retina design; an anti-reflective screen coating; True Tone technology; high brightness; and support for P3 wide color, resulting in content that looks remarkably rich and vibrant, and text that is sharp in all kinds of lighting conditions.
