Atlanta Economic Times- Everthing Announced t Apple, May 7th

Writer's picture: Lucas pattersonLucas patterson


As predicted, Apple revamped its iPad portfolio for the first time in almost a year on May 7th with the "Let Loose" event.



The main attractions were new iPad Pros with OLED displays on the exterior and M4 CPUs on the inside, as well as upgraded iPad Airs in sizes ranging from 7 to 13 inches. There were also new peripherals on show, such as the Apple Pencil Pro, which has haptic feedback and Find My, as well as a Magic Keyboard with a function row for a more laptop-like experience with your tablet.



Software upgrades introduced new AI-powered capabilities as well as a new Final Cut Camera app for multicamera projects.



You can follow our live responses to all of the developments right here, or see the highlights in our summary. We're currently adding hands-on observations of the new hardware, so stay tuned and check back for the latest updates from the Let Loose iPad event. Apple gives us OLED panels, but it also takes away SIM cards. According to 9to5Mac, Apple has eliminated the hardware SIM slot from the cellular versions of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro devices. Apple appears to be betting big on an eSIM future, having already released the iPhone and now the iPad.



The iPhone 14 was the first model to delete the SIM slot, but only in the United States; models sold in other countries still have a real SIM tray. This does not appear to be the case with the new iPad Air and iPad Pro; Apple's UK and Canadian retail sites state. The latest versions employ eSIM and are "not compatible with physical SIM cards." Maxon revealed in October that it will bring its popular desktop 3D sculpting program to the platform this year, but our first peek comes from Apple's "Let Loose" iPad event.


There is currently no information on the release date or price. However, the UI appears to be quite tidy, and the symbol seen above appears to support Zbrush's Sculptris Pro mode. The recently revealed iPad Pro conceals a stealthy upgrade option that Apple did not reveal during its announcement today. When you pay the $600 difference between the 256GB basic model iPad Pro and the 1TB version, Apple not only doubles the RAM but also upgrades the CPU within, from a nine-core M4 to a 10-core version.



This is the first time Apple has provided a CPU upgrade for a specific tablet model; previously, no matter what other choices you choose on a certain tablet, you knew you were receiving the same chip as any other configuration. Previously, Apple just linked RAM improvements to storage increases; this is still true now, with the quantity. Increasing from 8GB to 16GB. You also have the option of purchasing Apple's glare-reducing nanotexture glass for $100 (lucky you! ), which is not available on lower-end versions. So, if you want the finest iPad Pro performance, you'll need to upgrade your storage to 1TB or 2TB. Apple's new iPad Pro and iPad Air are now officially available. Preorders commence today, May 7th, with the former at $999 and the latter at $599. Both versions come in 11- and 13-inch sizes and will be available in retailers on Wednesday, May 15th.



One of the most noticeable improvements in the Pro models is the transition from LCD to OLED panels, which might be the game changer for creatives. However, there is much more to appreciate, including a new M4 processor that is supposed to provide 50% better CPU performance than Apple's previous-generation M2 chip, as well as a new 10-core GPU that enables mesh shading and ray tracing. The new iPad Pro also has improved back cameras, Apple's new iPad Pro and iPad Air are now officially available. Preorders commence today, May 7th, with the former at $999 and the latter at $599. Both versions come in 11- and 13-inch sizes and will be available in retailers on Wednesday, May 15th.



Related: Hands-on with the New iPad Pro. Yeah, it's quite thin.


The new Apple Pencil Pro is more durable and easier to sketch with.


Apple discreetly killed the old-school iPad and its headphone jack.

The new iPad Pro also has improved rear cameras and a relocated front-facing Face ID camera that is now situated along the horizontal edge, allowing for more comfortable video conversations.



Meanwhile, the new iPad Air is now available in two sizes and features Apple's M2 processor, which includes a Wi-Fi 6E radio and allows for the Apple Pencil hover function, which was previously only available on the iPad Pro. Neither size has an OLED screen, but you still get a brilliant Liquid Retina XDR display, and the 13-inch model has upgraded stereo speakers (in landscape position) that allegedly "double the bass" of the 11-inch model.



In terms of accessories, both tablets accept the new Apple Pencil Pro, which improves on the second-generation magnetic version by including Find My, a squeeze gesture with haptic feedback, and a gyroscope sensor. The new iPad Pros come with a revamped Magic Keyboard that has a dedicated function row and a larger trackpad with haptic feedback. (Those purchasing the iPad Air may use it with the original Magic Keyboards, which are still available for previous iPad Pro versions.)
