Today, Apple introduced a revolutionary new iPad Pro featuring a remarkably thin and light design, pushing the boundaries of portability and performance. Offered in silver and space black options, the new iPad Pro comes in two sizes: a spacious 13-inch model and a highly portable 11-inch model. Both sizes boast the world’s most advanced display — an innovative Ultra Retina XDR™ display with cutting-edge OLED technology — delivering an exceptional visual experience. Powering this new iPad Pro is the M4 chip, the latest generation of Apple silicon, delivering significant improvements in performance and capabilities. The M4 chip incorporates a new display engine to support the precision, color, and brightness of the Ultra Retina XDR display. With a new CPU, an advanced GPU building on the architecture of the M3, and the most powerful Neural Engine yet, the new iPad Pro is a powerhouse for AI tasks. Furthermore, the versatility of the iPad Pro is complemented by new accessories. The Apple Pencil Pro™ introduces enhanced interactions, elevating the pencil experience, while a redesigned Magic Keyboard offers impressive features in a thinner and lighter form. The new iPad Pro, Apple Pencil Pro, and Magic Keyboard are now available for order, with store availability starting on Wednesday, May 15th.

He emphasized the combination of top-notch displays, exceptional performance driven by the latest M-series chips, and advanced accessories, all packed into a portable design. Ternus highlighted the significant advancements introduced with the new, remarkably thin and light iPad Pro, marking the most substantial update to the iPad Pro lineup.
