Apple Discriminates Again, as OLED iPad Pro With 1TB/2TB Storage Comes With Twice As Much RAM as Lower Storage Variants

The M4 iPad Pro's OLED display is potentially the best one on a tablet, as it uses a dual stack of OLED sheets for enhanced brightness and color accuracy. The company also introduced a brand-new 13-inch variant of the iPad Air, which comes with an M2 chip for Pro-level performance. A YouTuber has now discovered that the new OLED iPad Pro and iPad Air models come with stronger magnets than before despite a thinner overall design and form factor.

Apple's iPhone design has become a little stagnant over the past few years. The company only enlarged the cameras, played with the build material, and called it a redesign. It seems that engineers and designers at Apple are hard at work to bring about a major change. With that said, a new report has emerged that shines a light on the potential launch of the iPhone 17 'Slim' next year with an entirely new design and form factor.

We have previously covered that the OLED iPad Pro is one of the best tablets on the market, possibly the best as far as the hardware is concerned. However, the device still can not compete against a real computer, something that Apple really wants the iPad to be. While the hardware and internals are ideal, iPadOS is holding it back from achieving its true potential as a computer replacement. The former president of Microsoft has now stated that the idea of a dual-boot iPad, which switches between iPadOS and macOS, is not desirable.

The 13-inch M4 iPad Pro measures just 5.1mm in thickness and is marketed as Apple’s thinnest product yet. However, the obvious concern that potential buyers would have is how durable it would be over long-term use, and while Apple’s executives have attempted to put people’s worries to rest by stating that a protective cowling provides structural rigidity to the latest tablet, a new bend test reveals a different story. However, what is interesting to note is that the larger iPad Pro breaks from the charging position, not from the center, as Apple added the ‘central spine’ there to increase the slate’s durability.

After the Let Loose event, Apple is now focusing its attention on its more budget-friendly iPad mini and entry-level options. The latest report suggests that Apple will launch the iPad mini 7 by the end of the year.

The latest 11-inch and 13-inch M4 iPad Pro models measure 5.3mm and 5.1mm, respectively, making them the thinnest Apple products ever. The company likely attained this by switching over to Tandem OLED technology, which does not need its own backlighting and has individual pixels, allowing Apple to reduce the overall thickness. However, while there is no question that the latest iPad Pro models are design marvels, their extra sleekness can result in another ‘bendgate’ controversy, but a company executive has assured potential buyers that they have little to worry about.

The latest 11-inch and 13-inch M4 iPad Pro models are equipped with Tandem OLED technology, making them the first consumer products to be equipped with such panels. The obvious benefits include higher brightness and richer colors, and perhaps the biggest perk of using an OLED apart from the battery life improvements is the longer lifespan of the displays. However, users may not appreciate that the addition of Tandem OLED actually results in worse battery life compared to the M1 version with mini-LED, at least according to the latest tests.

Apple hosted its Let Loose event earlier this week to announce its highly anticipated OLED iPad Pro models and the M2 iPad Air. Both iPads in the lineup have received their fair share of improvements but there are various reasons why the M2 iPad Air should be the one to get against the OLED model. While the OLED display on the 'Pro' models is something that users have been demanding for a while, the 'Air' will allow you to accomplish the same task but at a much lower price tag.

Apple apologized on Thursday after an advertisement for its latest iPad Pro model sparked criticism by showing an animation of musical instruments and other symbols of creativity being crushed, Ad Age magazine reported.

Countless people are flooding Apple's social media accounts criticizing the announcement video for the newest iPad Pro. From the looks of it, the promotional video, which puts the spotlight on the sleekness of Apple's forthcoming tablet, isn't sitting right with its audience.

Logitech has unveiled its latest Combo Touch keyboard case, tailored for the newest M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro models. This accessory, a sturdy contender to Apple's Magic Keyboard, boasts a full-size keyboard and a multi-touch trackpad, enhancing user experience and productivity.

Apple's first big event of 2024 has come and gone, showcasing a new iPad Pro and the powerful Apple M4 chip. While the latest technology throws up plenty of possibilities, though, running Baldur's Gate 3 on said new Apple goodies isn't one of them.
