On Tuesday, May 7, Apple introduced two new iPad Air tablets in two sizes and an iPad Pro tablet with an M4 chip. This was reported by UNN with reference to Apple's YouTube channel .
iPad Air
The new iPad Air will be equipped with M2 chips, which should be 50% faster than the previous generation of M1 devices. The tablet will come in two screen sizes: 11 and 13 inches Liquid Retina.
The base version of the iPad Air now comes with 128GB of internal storage instead of the previous 64GB, and configurations with 512GB and 1TB of storage are available.
The front camera has been moved to the long side of the body, making it easier to use in landscape mode, especially with the keyboard attached. The rear panel has a single camera.
Available storage capacities range from 128 GB to 1 TB. Prices for the iPad Air 11 start at $599 (23,550 UAH), and for the iPad Air 13 at $799 (31,400 UAH).
The tablet is available in Blue, Purple, Starlight and Space Gray colors.
iPad Air is used with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. The pen now also supports the hover function previously available only for iPad Pro. Charging is via USB-C, and the body is made of recycled aluminum.
The company is already accepting pre-orders. Deliveries will begin next week.
iPad Pro
Instead, the iPad Pro will be released with the M4 chip. The performance of this processor is 50% higher than that of devices with the M2 chip. The company claims that the chip is more suitable for working with artificial intelligence. Overall, the device is four times faster than the previous generation of tablets.
