After a long wait, Apple finally raised the curtains on the new iPad Pro and iPad Air lineup (+ some updated accessories) last week.
iPad Pro
- New M4 chip: According to The Verge, the upgrade's impact is primarily evident in video and photo editing tasks.
- Thin design: now thinner than an iPad Air! The shaved weight makes it easier to hold in one hand.
- New ultra retina XDR OLED display: double panel design creates a brighter screen with more vivid colours and sharpness.
- New nano texture display option: for a more tactile feel on the screen.
- Front-facing camera change: it is now on the side for better landscape video calling.
iPad Air
- New 11" and 13" design: for those who want a bigger tablet but for almost half the price of the iPad Pro version.
- Now with M2: Are Technica notes that it is a solid jump in performance from the previous M1 chip iPad Air.
- New LCD liquid retina display: not as nice as the new iPad Pro's display when under bright or dim lights but Mashable states that both displays are similar under good lighting.
- The front-facing camera is also on the landscape edge of the iPad.
Apple Pencil Pro
- New squeeze feature: opens up a tool palette.
- New gyroscope: for better pen and brush control.
- New haptic engine: to provide precise feedback when you squeeze or double tap the pencil.
- Works with Find My App: so you can track where you left your Pencil last.
- Limited compatibility: Only works with the new iPad Pro and Air.
Magic Keyboard
- New function key row: so you can easily adjust screen brightness, music controls, and other things.
- New aluminum rest pad: for that MacBook feel I suppose.
- Larger trackpad: now with haptic feedback!
