Examining the Latest iPad Models - Slim, airy, yet costly!
It's great that Apple introduced a new iPad last Tuesday, which captivates you right from the moment you pick it up, without you needing to know anything about its internal components. The latest iPad Pro boasts a record-thin design - something you can physically feel.
Minor Reduction in Thickness
At first glance, the 5.1 mm thickness difference between the new 13-inch iPad Pro and the previous model may seem insignificant: 5.1 mm vs. 6.4 mm. However, this minimal decrease presents a noticeable improvement. The new iPad Pro feels considerably lighter and of superior quality in your hands.
Upon turning on the display, you're greeted with a new OLED screen, making its debut in an iPad. Apple credits the recently released M4 chip fitted in the Pro iPads for enabling this breakthrough. Moreover, the M4 is designed to prepare the new iPad Pro for upcoming AI features that Apple will unveil at their WWDC developer conference in the summer.
The new OLED display delivers an exceptional overall impression: the colors are brilliant, and the black is notably richer due to this technology.
While the iPad Pro creates a "premium" experience, its price reflects this as well. The 11-inch variant costs a minimum of 1199 euros, and 13-inch models are priced at least 1549 euros.
Not Everyone Needs The Top-End iPad Pro
For many users, the high price tag will deter them from opting for the iPad Pro. While the new iPad Pro is indeed visually stunning, only a small segment of individuals are likely to fully utilize its advanced capabilities. Those not planning to engage in professional video editing or audio production will not be able to fully utilize the device's power.
When considering functionality, Apple hasn't offered strong reasons for upgrading to this new generation from the previous iPad version. Despite its thinner design, faster performance, and premium looks, the iPad remains essentially unchanged from its predecessors.
Three Differences between the iPad Air and the Pro
Instead, many customers are likely to explore the iPad Air before making their decision. The 11-inch version starts at 699 euros, with the newly released 13-inch model priced at 949 euros.
There are three key distinctions between the Air models and the Pro iPads: they're not as slim, yet still provide adequate performance, thanks to the M2 chip. The most significant difference, however, lies in the display. The Air models retain the Liquid Retina Display, relying on LED technology. While this does not present an issue, the absence of a 120 Hz high refresh rate in the new Air generation is a regrettable omission, particularly in comparison to the 120 Hz Pro Motion display of the Pro models.
This appears to be a missed opportunity to significantly differentiate the new iPad Air from its earlier versions.
Conclusion
Apple has masterfully achieved the "wow" factor once more with its new iPad Pro. Its sleek, lightweight, and fashionable design captivates everyone who picks it up. However, the cost might deter most consumers - making the iPad Air a more viable choice for most.
Ultimately, the new iPad Pro is a stunning device, but the majority of people should carefully weigh their options before making their purchase decision and probably end up opting for the iPad Air.
