Oct 24(ABC): Apple announces new iPad Pros, a redesigned entry-level iPad, and an upgraded Apple TV 4K.
The next-generation iPad Pro now features the same M2 CPU as the 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air M2. While the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models share many characteristics with the M1-equipped iPad Pro from last year, the new M2 processor and the upcoming iPadOS 16.1 update add a few unique functions.
Moreover, the Cupertino-based tech giant also launched an updated regular iPad with a completely revamped design and many color options. The announcements give Apple more new technology to market in front of the crucial holiday shopping season. The business hopes that the new tablets will increase sales.
The revamped iPad 2022
The new entry-level iPad is nothing like its predecessor. The home button at the bottom of the screen is gone; the fingerprint reader now sits on the power button. With a larger 10.9-inch screen, USB-C in place of the Lightning connector, and multiple colors, including red, yellow, blue, and white, it has a more angular look similar to the iPad Air and iPad Pro.
