At Apple’s event on May 7, the tech giant introduced the new iPad Air and iPad Pro, both equipped with exciting new AI capabilities. The iPad Air now features the M2 chip, offering AI enhancements for design and photo editing. However, the highlight of the event was the unveiling of the iPad Pro with the M4 chip, surpassing the rumored M3 chip. This powerful chip includes an upgraded Neural Engine capable of handling an impressive 38 trillion operations per second.
iPad Air AI capabilities
The M2 chip brings noticeable AI updates to iPadOS and Apple apps. Features like Visual Look Up, Subject Lift, and Live Text enhance the user experience. With Subject Lift, users can manipulate specific elements of images for easy editing, while Live Text enables text recognition in images for tasks like phone number lookup and translation. Additionally, Visual Look Up allows users to learn more about landmarks and other objects in photos.
iPad Pro with OLED display AI capabilities
The iPad Pro with the M4 chip introduces a range of new AI features, including the ability to isolate subjects in Final Cut Pro. With a simple tap, users can highlight subjects in images and videos with precision. Another notable feature is document scanning, where the iPad Pro’s True Tone Flash automatically detects and stitches together document frames without shadows.
This event marks Apple’s entry into the realm of generative AI capabilities, a significant step for the company. While competitors like Samsung and Google have already integrated AI features into their devices, Apple is now catching up with the iPad Pro. With WWDC on the horizon, we can expect further AI enhancements in iOS 18, and the September iPhone event may bring more AI-related announcements.
The iPad Air is priced at $599 for the 11-inch model and $799 for the 13-inch model, while the iPad Pro starts at $999 for the 11-inch model and $1,299 for the 13-inch model. Apple enthusiasts can look forward to experiencing the latest AI advancements in these new devices.
