Apple Announces New iPad Pro With M4 Chip, OLED Display, and More

[Razorpit]

That 13 incher is going to bend just by looking at it!

That's what sh.....


Yes, you are correct. 😄

Ok two things I’m thinking:

1) This looks amazing and I’m sure will be super powerful, yet still severely limited by iPadOS

2) I’m sure there are some folks who need a computer now and will buy whatever is out there, but for anyone else, why would you buy anything out there now when you know M4 exists and will probably be out soon?

The thing keeping me from spending a ton on another iPad is that I just can't load my software on there. There's no Superior Drummer for iPadOS. While some of that's been alleviated with having Logic Pro (and FCP) now on there, it's still an issue for me.

Hear you!
Pretty much none of my current engineering software will run on an iPad. What little will work is limited at best.

We need something much more than a phone OS on this.

No black pro pencil… thats such a huge disappointment for many people.

Did they do market research?

 

[Realityck]

The price of new M4 OLED iPad Pro models $999 for 11”, and $1299 for 13”

 

[Seanm87]

What time will these go up to order?

"We're not only going to push the limits of what you can do on iPad, we're going to crush them."
"Feels just like using a MacBook."

But it still cannot run macOS! That is the problem and that is what would really make it feel like using a MacBook.

This iPad a truly a beast! Wow

 

[BitSmith!]

We don’t want thinner. WE WANT MORE BATTERY!!

 

[giebe]

Too bad no new iPad mini.

 

[matt_and_187_like_this]

Insanity. So overpowered. I do want that M4 in my Mac Mini now, though.

 

[Realityck]

No additional products appeared for this event. Ait’s, Pro’s and new Pencil that’s all for devices.

 

[rightoff]

When do they kill off MacBook Air?

 

[FlyGuyDEN]

ZERO mention of battery life w/M4 & the OLED...curious they didn't even mention a typical "even with this new and thinnest design we maintain the same all-day battery life iPad Pro users have come to expect" etc.

 

[Kylo83]

No thinner bezel and m1 is still over kill for iPad and mini led is more than good enough

 

[Devyn89]

Ooh fancy, might trade in M1 iPad in for it.

 

[dgdosen]

Wow - so M4 Ultra Studio and Pro at WWDC?

 

[dgdosen]

Insanity. So overpowered. I do want that M4 in my Mac Mini now, though.

Or a macbook!

The iPad seems like the most advanced product in Apples lineup where they have the biggest gap to their competitors, but also the least useful one for most actual users.

 

[howywood]

They claim these thinner iPad pros are just as strong frame as the previous iPad Pro models. We’ll see. Thats a dare for some to test that out.

I will be testing in 50 lb. intervals of having obese people sit on the iPad. Keep you posted.

 

[danpaulll]

they got rid of the ultra wide camera it seems? but there is still, other than the lidar and microphone, another hole.. wonder what that is for?

 

[joloriquelme]

Great product.

...but sadly, no Wi-Fi 7. Skip for M5 or M6.

 

[satchmo]

Wouldn't the iPad Pro have even greater battery life had it stayed the same thickness?

 

[macduke]

I'm hesitant to get something that has a completely brand new type of stacked OLED display technology. Think I'm going to be waiting out this generation to make sure they work out any kinks. Plus my M1 is still plenty fast. It's just an iPad, lol. We don't need crazy chips in them.

My wife needs a new iPad, though, so I'm gonna go pick up a new Air for her.

No iPad mini 7 and iPad 11
