So is this iPad going to vibrate in your hands when playing audio like the first gen iPad Air did?
 
Now that iPad Pro has an M4, so many people will be skipping the M3 and will wait for M4 in MacBooks. Maybe Apple can annouce them at WWDC

M4 going into the iPad first makes me think yields are probably still ramping so MacBook Pro refresh this Fall, I expect.

Would love to see the desktops get M4 love at WWDC, however. M4 in Mac Mini and M4 Ultra for Studio and Mac Pro.

Okay, I expect the new Pro to be outrageously expensive, but now that I know it has M4 I’m finally replacing my 2017 iPad Pro. It has served me well.
 
M4 might have some very specific and unique (but Apple will not explain in public) chip-design / performance / feature etc., so Apple decides to test it on iPad Pro instead of on those upcoming Macs, just guessing...

My guess is iPad Pro does not sell in huge quantities so a good way to absorb the initial production capacity until yields max out.

M4 up to 10 core.. I doubt that it will have 6 perf cores, so base M4 is 2 perf + 6 eff?
