The top 7 revelations from Apple's iPad event

 

Following its "Let Loose" event, Apple unveiled its first new iPads in almost two years. Not only were there iPads at the event, but we also got to see some upgraded software and redesigned accessories.

An OLED display and a lightweight makeover are coming to the iPad Pro

The iPad Pro boasts an OLED display that is sharper and more vivid than ever before. With a profile of just 5.3 mm for the 11-inch device and 5.1 mm for the 13-inch variant, the iPad Pro also has a slimmer design.

Apple incorporated its next-generation M4 processor to the iPad Pro in addition to giving it a cosmetic facelift. The new iPad Pro has 256GB of basic storage and is available in silver and space black. The starting price for the 13-inch model is $1,299, while the 11-inch model is $999.

The iPad Air increases the amount of screen area

A new 13-inch iPad Air from Apple is now available, providing a less expensive and lighter option to the iPad Pro. Along with the bigger size, Apple upgraded the gadget with the M2 chip, replacing the M1 chip that came with the 2022 model.

The new iPad Air is available in space gray, starlight, purple, and blue. The price of the 11-inch model is $599, while the 13-inch variant costs $799. Along with options for 512GB and 1TB of storage, both models have a base storage capacity of 128GB.

A quicker, AI-capable M4 chip

In relation to the M4, Apple revealed its newest CPU at the presentation. Built with the more efficient 3nm technology, it has a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU. According to Apple, the processor is "an outrageously powerful chip for AI," with a CPU that is 50% faster than the M2.

Apple Pencil Pro, the updated model with haptic feedback

Apple is returning with another upgrade, having revealed last year a less expensive Apple Pencil with USB-C. In addition to haptic feedback, the new Apple Pencil Pro has a unique menu-opening squeezing action. It also supports Find My and allows you to rotate the Pencil to vary the brush's form. The iPad Pro may be used with the $129 Apple Pencil Pro.

What "feels just like using a MacBook" is a Magic Keyboard

Not just the Apple Pencil is being upgraded as an iPad accessory. Additionally, Apple unveiled a revamped Magic Keyboard including a function row, a bigger trackpad with haptic feedback, and an aluminum palm rest. To match the iPad Pro, it is also available in silver and space black.

The price of the Magic Keyboard is $349 for the 13-inch model and $299 for the 11-inch model.

upgrades for the entire Apple creative suite

Apple is introducing Final Cut Camera, a brand-new program designed especially to facilitate live multicamera production. Users may "connect multiple iPhones or iPads to capture additional angles during a live multicam shoot or record professional video" with this software, which synchronizes with the newest version of Final Cut Pro. Apple also unveiled new AI-powered capabilities, such as a virtual keyboard and bass player, for its digital audio workstation, Logic Pro.

A starting pricing for iPad that is less expensive

Apple announced that it is dropping the price of its entry-level 10th-generation iPad to $349 in conjunction with the release of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro. Compared to its prior $449 starting price, that is $100 less.
