aiming to boost sales of its tablet devices which saw a 9% decline last year.

The company unveiled the new device during a virtual event titled “Take Off,”
where it introduced the iPad Pro with a completely new design since 2018.
It is thinner and features an OLED Ultra Retina XDR screen for clearer images,
in addition to being equipped with the faster “M4” processor capable of efficiently performing artificial intelligence tasks. Alongside,
the “iPad Air” was also launched with a larger screen size and an “M2” processor.
Apple explained that the new version of the “iPad Pro,”
with a 12.9-inch screen and a thickness of 5.1 mm, is its thinnest device ever.
This move is an attempt to reverse the significant decline in tablet sales,
which recorded a 17% drop in the last quarter,
despite the company’s optimistic revenue improvement forecasts.
The “M4” chips are 50% faster than the previous processors in the device,
and the neural processing unit has been improved to be 60 times faster compared to the models released in 2017,
enhancing the “iPad Pro’s” capabilities in handling artificial intelligence tasks more effectively.
Apple will discuss its future plans for artificial intelligence
at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
Additionally, the devices’ screens have been upgraded to OLED,
the same technology used in the “iPhone” and “Apple Watch,”
to provide improved picture quality and enhanced colors and contrast.
For the first time, Apple offers a matte screen option for Pro model users.
