We’ve had to wait a long time, but for the first time in six years, Apple has updated the design of the iPad Pro. For example, it has an OLED display, a new ultra-thin design and the FaceTime camera position has been moved to landscape position.
In addition, Apple has added the M4 chip to the professional tablet so that complex tasks can be performed even more efficiently. Furthermore, new iPad accessories have been unveiled, such as a new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro.
iPad Air now available in two sizes and a super-fast new processor

In the fall of 2020, Apple provided the iPad Air with a major update with a new 11-inch design, thinner screen edges and Touch ID in the power button. In 2022, the Air was equipped with an M1 processor and the specifications will also be improved this year.
The 6th generation iPad Air is the ‘cheaper’ brother of the 11-inch iPad Pro and has a similar design, but in brighter colors and a single camera. The iPad supports the new Apple Pencil Pro and is compatible with the Magic Keyboard for iPad. The new iPad Air is equipped with an M2 chip, available in a larger version from next week.
