iPad Air (2024)
The new iPad Air will arrive for the first time in 2 models, the traditional 11-inch and now a new 13-inch size, with 13% more screen than the original model. This new version will have a redesign, reducing the bezels and repositioning the camera to be at the top when placed horizontally.
Inside it will feature the M2, with faster GPU, CPU making it 50% faster than its predecessor, as well as allowing adaptive learning.

For the first time, its display features an OLED screen that uses two OLED panels to improve brightness, called Tandem OLED. In doing so, Apple takes XDR precision to a new level.
In terms of performance, the iPad Pro debuts the M4, the next step in Apple’s chips, which makes a big leap in performance. This chip is based on 3rd generation 3nm technology. This chip will deliver 4x the performance of the M2 at half the power and 10x the performance of the original iPad Pro.
Final Cut and Logic Pro for iPad have been redesigned to help creators take their creativity to the next level. Rendering in Final Cut Pro is 2x faster. Final Cut Camera, an app for iPhones, will connect to the iPad Pro, allowing up to four cameras to connect directly to Final Cut for new workflows. Logic Pro will offer more control over music, including the ability to separate audio channels.
