Keynote “Let loose”: the 5 important announcements to remember

The keynote “Let loose” ended just a few hours ago. For the occasion, the organizer revealed many new features for its touchscreen tablets and associated accessories.We summarized them following the event, but for some the abbreviated version may do the trick. Here are the five main announcements to remember, in our opinion.

1 – The iPad Air has a large screen

To begin with, know that Apple unveiled its first iPad Air13 inches. The device offers a technical sheet relatively similar to that of the smaller model, which was also renewed during the keynote.

It's the M2 chip that powers the new iPad Air: no processor as previously assumed by some, therefore.

2 – An M4 chip without using the Mac

The iPad Pros, on the other hand, were indeed entitled to a latest generation chip. This is the M4, which was first presented by Apple during its event. And for good reason: Macs are not yet entitled to it, surprisingly. The reason for this choice could be the support of theOLED.

3 – New screen for iPad Pros

OLED is the new system that powers the iPad Pro screen. This technology allows you to take advantage ofwider contrastsand therefore deeper blacks, and should prove particularly popular with graphic designers. Some advanced devices are already taking advantage of this. So, the panel of your high-end iPhone, if the device is fairly recent, already uses OLED technology on the front.

4 – Announcement of the third generation Apple Pencil

The Apple Pencil stylus also has athird version, compatible with both 12.9-inch iPad Air and iPad Pro with the M4 chip. Apple explains here that it has notably improved pressure sensitivity. In addition, you should know that an integrated gyroscope allows you to manage a rotation gesture of the device between the user's fingers.

5 – Apple lowers the prices of its “classic” iPad

iPad 10s cost from439 eurosfor the most affordable version with 64 GB of internal storage. For comparison, you previously had to pay no less than 589 euros for this version!
