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

[Fuzzball84]

I think the conclusion is nice iterative updates… but iPad OS seriously needs a Samsung DeX interface for it to be a real Pro machine and leverage this fantastic hardware.

Apple Pencil update is alright but what about a color option?

Magic Keyboard is nice but ill have to see some hands on reviews… the outer material needs to be harder wearing too… not just the palm rest.

Apple is becoming the Gillette of product feature naming... Ultra Retina XDR Display.... Tandem OED Display

Dual-layer displays have been a thing for a while, but only with LCD that I'm aware of. They're used for mastering and are obscenely expensive. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1476223-REG/tvlogic_lum_310x_31_4k_hdr_reference.html

And here I am on my iPad mini 5 …. Still waiting

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

I was wondering how the M2 Air will sell with they way more modern M4 IPad Pros? Yes I miss not seeing at least an updated M2 mini with improved display.

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

Better than expected

 

[Gengar]

I’m gonna have to wait for the reviews to see the durability.

I was going to replace my Intel MacBook Pro 13 2020 with the latest Air but is an iPad Pro M4 13 inch now perhaps a better option? How does iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard work when having in on your lap?

 

[sifpilsen]

Air and Pro iPad updates are welcome, Pencil Pro was interesting for the Pros. Finally a real differentiator. Nice comparison to iPod nano with the iPad Pro!

 

[Kottu]

Just make a damn iPad with light version of macOs and sell it for under 1500$ with 512GB. Then, nobody can stop Apple.

Just ordered IPP 13" with Pencil Pro. Delivers 05/15.

Super cool upgrades from my M1 IPP!!

 

[BitSmith!]

And still gimped with iPadOS...

Why can’t we have swipe typing or baked in calculator? 😕

I think that ship sailed with the "Dynamic Island". Goofiest thing I'd ever heard.

The Dynamic Island is the worst BS I’ve ever seen. It’s still a notch!

Wait for a few months then you have M4 in your MacBook Air for the same price as the 11 inch iPad Pro

 

[ric22]

If they can stick the M4 in a 5mm device, while massively lowering the power consumption vs the M3, I guess it could appear in the new iPhone Pro?

 

[imassents]

Apple store showing nano-texture display is only available on 1TB and 2TB models? Does the glass need more storage space? Different form factor for larger chips?

 

[dgdosen]

How long before these displays hit a laptop? or Studio Display?

 

[turbineseaplane]

I have news for Apple

Nothing they’ve done here will help iPad sales at all

And here I am on my iPad mini 5 …. Still waiting

Just wait, the iPhone Pro Max is slowly growing to get there

Wait for a few months then you have M4 in your MacBook Air for the same price as the 11 inch iPad Pro

A long wait probably...

 

[satchmo]

Hmm...clearance on 13" M2 iPad Pro or new 13" iPad Air?

No mention of mini-LED display on Air so I'm assuming it's just regular LED?

 

[turbineseaplane]

Just wait, the iPhone Pro Max is slowly growing to get there

It sure seems that way …

 

[Torty]

When do they kill off MacBook Air?

M3 is old now 😬

 

[azentropy]

When do they kill off MacBook Air?

The 13" is the best selling 13" in the world and the 15" is the best selling 15" in the world. Why would the kill it off?

 

[iamgalt]

Just placed my order for a 13" space black, 2TB. Should be a pretty good upgrade from my 2018 pro with a12x bionic, 64GB, and LCD screen.

 

[kazmac]

Hmmm...the mention of something akin to heatsinks (graphite and copper) in the iPad Pros suddenly makes that a lot more appealing to me. This and the lighter weight might be well worth the outlay.

I'll wait and see what the RAM etc. is; I am impressed enough to potentially bypass the Air and give the Pro a shot.

 

[nicolas_s]

Dang, the Max Tech guys were right on every rumor. The M4 rumor seemed sketchy at first but it ended up being true, unbelievable!
