Apple iPad Event: From iPad Pro to new M4 Chip, everything that could be announced

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.

Apple's recent ‘Let Loose' event sent waves through the tech world, showcasing a range of new products and innovations. Here's a comprehensive look at what was announced, and what was notably absent.

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. 

Apple's recent Let Loose event was all about the iPad, as Tim Cook put it. With just about a month left until WWDC, Apple focused squarely on tablets, kicking off the event with a nod to the Apple Vision Pro. Among the highlights were the unveiling of two new iPads: the iPad Pro and the iPad Air. The former got a major upgrade with the all-new M4 chip, marking it as the first device to boast the latest Apple silicon. Meanwhile, the latter, though not as revolutionary, received a noteworthy bump from the M1 to the M2 chip. Let's dive into the five key takeaways from this year's Apple Let Loose event. 

Apple appears to have discriminated between the OLED iPad Pro models when it comes to the RAM. The company announced the new OLED iPad Pro models with major changes. While the iPad Air comes with decent upgrades and a new 12.9-inch variant, the iPad Pro takes the cake with an extremely thin design and powerful internals.

The M4 announcement during Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event painted a rosy picture for potential buyers, and they would have likely believed that the latest iPad Pro models would have access to four performance and six efficiency cores. Unfortunately, that is not the case here because Apple cleverly hid the finer details from its audience, and to actually get the chipset with the 10-core CPU, you have to avoid the 256GB or 512GB models altogether. Hearing this is disappointing because the base model does not come cheap and is currently listed for pre-order at $999.

The Apple ‘Let Loose' event finally commenced after months of speculation and rumours. The event was live-streamed online with pre-recorded video like the October MacBook launch event.  Now, after a wait of more than one year, Apple has finally unveiled the 2024 Apple iPad Pro models with much-needed upgrades. While there were several anticipations about the product display, the company stunned the viewers with a new M4 chipset. For people waiting for the new generation of iPad Pro, check out the announced specifications and features of the device. 

The new iPad Pro range has received incredible design and hardware improvements, with the inclusion of the M4 chipset and Tandem OLED making these premium tablets a cut above the rest, particularly the M2 models. Here, we take an in-depth look at the latest models and see what sets them apart from their own predecessors and the competition.
