iPad Air tablets. In a brief video that was uploaded to its website on Tuesday, Apple revealed that further models of its iPad Air and iPad Pro tablet computers had been released.
Tuesday’s trading session saw no change in the price of Apple shares.
An announcement made by Apple CEO Tim Cook said that “this is the biggest day for the iPad since its introduction.”
This is the first time that Apple has produced new iPad models since October 2022, which is the longest period of time that the company has gone without upgrading the product range since the iPad was initially introduced in 2011.

Apple has announced that the iPad Pro, which is the company’s most costly and technologically powerful tablet, will be available in two sizes: an 11-inch model and a 13-inch variant. With a thickness of 5.1 millimeters, Apple claims that this device is the smallest it has ever produced.
There is a minor rise in pricing compared to its predecessor, with the smaller iPad Pro starting at $999 and the bigger 13-inch model starting at $1299 with 256GB of storage (both of which are available).
Apple has introduced a new case that they call the Magic Keyboard. This cover is made of aluminum and is designed to link the iPad Pro with a keyboard and trackpad. The iPad Pro will be able to snap into this case. According to Apple, the use of the shell will make using an iPad Pro feel “just like a MacBook,” which is the name of the computers that Apple manufactures. Depending on the size, the price will be either $249 or $299. The Apple Pencil Pro, which retails for $129, is an improved version of the company’s popular stylus.
A new processor from Apple, known as the M4, will be used in the upcoming versions. At the moment, M3 processors are used in the construction of Apple’s laptops. The M4 processor was described by Apple as an “outrageously powerful chip for artificial intelligence.” In order to illustrate this point, Apple executives presented the company’s neural engine, which is a component of the company’s processor that was created for artificial intelligence software. This neural engine has the capability to swiftly separate individuals from their surroundings in a video.
An Apple hardware executive named John Ternus said that in order to accommodate this breathtaking design and ground-breaking display, the company needed to make the transition to the next generation of Apple silicon.
In a statement, Apple said that its iPad Pro tablets would use a new kind of display known as OLED, which is the same technology that Apple employs on its iPhones. Additionally, Apple stated that the new tablets will have greater color and a brighter display than the earlier versions. Additionally, the business said that it has created a technique known as “tandem OLED” in order to build the panels, which are referred to as Ultra Retina XDR, respectively.
According to the firm, the iPad Pro has the potential to be an advantageous tool for professional video makers. Additionally, the company has introduced a new application called Final Cut Camera, which is capable of controlling several iPhone cameras. A back camera with a resolution of 12 megapixels and the ability to shoot 4K video are included in the iPad Pro, as stated by Apple. Furthermore, the business has announced an upgrade to the flash of the camera, which is expected to make the process of scanning documents simpler.
New tablets and accessories are now available for presale, and they will be available for purchase the following week.
Apple has announced that the iPad Air will be available in two sizes: an 11-inch variant that is comparable to previously released versions, as well as a bigger 13-inch counterpart. Apple’s M2 processor is included in both of these devices. There is a starting price of $799 for the bigger iPad, while the smaller iPad costs $599 for 128GB of storage space.
The front-facing camera has also been shifted to the longer side of the tablet, which is known as landscape mode. This change was made by Apple in order to improve the quality of video conferencing and to match the prices of Apple’s more costly iPad Pro models.
There will be a range of colors available for the iPad Air, including blue, purple, and gold, and it will be available for purchase in shops next week.
Apple has also reduced the price of its iPad, which was previously priced at $429, to $349. This is a price reduction from the previous pricing.
