Apple iPad Pro leaps two generations forward as iPad Air melds power and choice

“Biggest day for the iPad, since its introduction”, is how Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, summarised the day’s proceedings. It had been a fairly long wait. The iPad Pro and iPad Air lines last were updated a couple of years ago, at different points. Apple is more than making up for the time that’s passed since, with significant updates across the entire iPad portfolio. So much so, the new iPad Pro range marks the first instance of an iPad ushering in the next generation of Apple Silicon, the M4. Apple Pencil gets the “Pro” moniker too with associated smartness. The iPad Air gets two screen sizes as another MacBook or laptop replacement. A new Magic Keyboard. And the entry-spec iPad gets a price tweak.
