With its impressive lineup of announcements, the tech giant generated a lot of buzz among enthusiasts even in the absence of a grand stage. Check out the details.
Upgrades iPad Pro and iPad Air Models
The much-awaited new iPad Pro and iPad Air models run on Apple’s most recent M3 chip and take center stage at the showcase. With its promised substantial performance improvements, especially for gaming, video editing, and multitasking tasks, the M3 chip marks a major advancement in processing power for Apple’s tablet lineup.
OLED screens are one of the new iPad Pro’s most notable features; these represent a significant advancement in display technology. With improved brightness, contrast, and color accuracy over earlier models, these screens are set to provide users with an unmatched viewing experience.

There are also rumors that MagSafe wireless charging, which was only available on the iPhone, may be added, which would significantly broaden the ecosystem surrounding the technology.
In the meantime, to meet the growing demand for larger tablet options, the iPad Air lineup expands to include a new 12.9-inch model in addition to the classic 10.9-inch option. By utilizing the M2 chip, both models can maintain their competitiveness in the highly competitive mid-range tablet market.
Upgraded Macbook Air M3
In the laptop arena, the M3 chip offers a much-needed update for Apple’s well-liked MacBook Air. With this upgrade, professionals and casual users alike will be able to benefit from increased productivity and streamlined creative workflows.

iOS 17.4 and Accessories
Apple announced the release of iOS 17.4, which is specifically designed to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act, marking a significant development for users in Europe.
