You probably remember the presentationiPad Pro M4 on May 7, 2024. Apple then unveiled its new high-end tablets, the first Apple devices with a “large” screen to benefit from an OLED screen. This display technology was until now reserved for the iPhone and Apple Watch. An advance which had eclipsed the rest of the improvements, such as the arrival of the M4 chip or the new photo module.
