In addition to the new iPad Pro, Apple has also announced a refreshed iPad Air which comes in the existing 11-inch size as well as a new larger 13-inch model.
As far as the design goes, theres not a lot of changes with it seemingly taking on the exact same design as the last model. Interestingly enough the new Pro is even thinner than the Air. One change that has been made is the moving of the front-facing camera to landscape, which is now great for FaceTime calls using centre stage.
The iPad Air has now been improved with the M2 chip which is apparently 50% faster than the iPad Air with the M1 chip and will now doubt be a great boost for gaming and heavy productivity. The new iPad Air now supports Wi-Fi 6E which is a great addition as well.
The device is also compatible with the new Apple Pencil Pro which has a new sensor in the barrel that can be squeezed to bring up a tool palette, it has a gyroscope to recognise tilting of the pencil and it also has haptics to provide feedback based on the actions performed.
