Apple shares new teaser ahead of May 7 event: 2024 iPad Air, iPad Pro and all that is coming

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 has revealed a new feature aimed at helping iOS users who experience motion sickness while using their devices in a moving car. The company explains that motion sickness results from a sensory conflict between what a person feels and sees, which often prevents many from using their smartphones or tablets during travel.

Around a week after Microsoft shuttered a number of beloved studios with a track record of making excellent single-player, story-driven games, their newly-owned arm of Activision has revealed a brand new studio. Working on a new series of story-driven, triple-A games.

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.

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.

Avowed anime afficionado Megan Thee Stallion dropped her new video for “BOA” on Wednesday, delivering a love letter to her nerdiest late-’90s and early aughts influences.

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. 

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.

Apple Let Loose event was live-streamed today, May 7 at 7:30 PM IST in which the company unveiled several new products.
