We should also note that these iPads no longer ship with those small Apple logo stickers.
Maybe this will shock some, but were here to say good riddance.
Lets move on from the silly stickers, shall we?

Whats the Screen Like on the New iPad Pro?
The new iPad Pro comes with an OLED display, which stands for organic light-emitting diode.
Meanwhile, the iPad Air is sticking with the old iPS LCD display, namely Apples Liquid Retina.

Still, its seeing a growth spurt with an all-new 13-inch version.
The 11-inch iPad Air weighs 1.02 pounds while the 11-inch iPad Pro clocks in at .98.
The 13-inch Air is 1.36 pounds while the Pro is a mere 1.28.

Whats the Power and Price for the iPad Pro and iPad Air 2024?
It will cost you an extra $150 if you want cellular data.
The bigger deal is the iPad Pro packs an all-new chip dubbed the M4.

If you opt for models with 1 or 2 TB of storage, you get a 10-core CPU instead.
Can it play games?
The new chip also holds a neural engine that Apple says is its beefiest so far.

All that will mean is youll pay a premium on the new Pro.
The 11-inch model starts at $999, while the 13-inch will hit $1,299.
Thats $200 more than the 6th-gen iPad Pro was in 2022 at $799.

Whats Up With the New Magic Keyboards?
It also includes an aluminum base compared to the old polyurethane.
It also houses a larger glass trackpad that feels far smoother than the older versions.
And yet, for the same $299 price, you might get the iPad Airs Magic Keyboard.
For all intents and purposes, its the exact same keyboard as the one available to previous iPad generations.
Can I Use the Apple Pencil Pro on Older iPads?
Finally, it also has a built-in connection with Find My.
Taken altogether, its a confusing lineup, especially considering the 1st-gen Apple Pencil is still floating around.
Just know the latest Apple Pencil Pro is certainly the most capable of all right now.
How About Folios and Accessories?
Its cheaper than Apples Magic Keyboard, andweve quite enjoyed iton past iPad models.
Are There Any New iPad Apps as Well?
For that, well be looking toWWDC in June.
Hell, maybe well finally get a nativecalculator app.
