As with every Apple event, the company put together a variety of fun videos to accompany its product announcements.

Check out the full list of videos from today’s event below.

Today Apple held its ‘Let loose’ event, where over the span of 38 minutes the company debuted its latest and most advanced iPad hardware yet. There were some software surprises sprinkled in too.

In the market for a new iPad? Just curious to see what new products Apple announced? Here’s everything that was shared at the event.

M-series Apple silicon chips tout impressive performance but unpredictable release cadence. That makes it hard to keep up with which chips are in which devices. Apple currently has three generations of M-series chips, up to four variations of each generation, and three product categories that use M-series chips. Here’s the data to make sense of it all.

Tim Cook doesn’t just talk the talk when it comes to the iPad lifestyle. The Apple CEO literally walks the walk… in custom, 1-of-1 Nike sneakers. It turns out Cook’s “Let Loose” event attire included a special pair of Nike Air Max 1 ’86s. Hypebeast has the scoop…

The all-new 2024 iPad Pro with M4 chip takes performance to the next level. So what’s been upgraded from the previous iPad Pro? Read along for a detailed look at the M4 iPad Pro vs M2 iPad Pro.

Today at Apple’s Let Loose event, we got our first look at its new M4 chip and the new iPad Pros it powers, the next-generation iPad Air, and the new Apple Pencil Pro, but it wasn’t all hardware. Apple also briefly touched on the latest editions of Final Cut and the new version of Logic Pro for iPad and Mac. Apple’s beloved flagship DAW has been banging out the beats for years now, with a major overhaul of the app back in 2021 and relatively steady stream of new features (by Apple’s standards anyway) since then. But today marks the unveil of Logic Pro for iPad 2 and Logic Pro for Mac 11. Let’s dive into some of the details on the new AI tech, intelligent Stem Splitter, and more. 

Today Apple released the RC build of iOS 17.5, among other OS updates, and the release notes brought word of a valuable enhancement coming to the Apple News app for News+ subscribers.

We’ve known for some time that News+ would be gaining a new game, Quartiles, when iOS 17.5 launched. Now it seems there’s another key feature coming to subscribers.

In recent weeks, we’ve seen celebrities like LeBron James and Daniel Ricciardo walking around with a mysterious Beats speaker that looks a lot like the old Beats Pill+. Now with the release of iOS 17.5 RC on Tuesday, we’ve been able to confirm that Apple does indeed have plans to bring Beats Pill back.

Update: This appears to be due to the “Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment” in the EU. It’s applicable in the UK because it predates Brexit.

Apple unveiled its new iPad Pro and iPad Air lineups today, alongside updates to the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. For customers in the UK and other countries across Europe, however, there’s a downside: Apple is no longer including a charger in the box with the new iPad Air and iPad Pro.

Today alongside the introduction of the M4 iPad Pro and new iPad Air 6, Apple has launched a brand new Smart Folio accessory for each device that comes with a small but valuable improvement.

Following the Let Loose event this morning, Apple is now releasing RC builds of iOS 17.5, iPadOS 17.5, watchOS 10.5, and tvOS 17.5 to developers and beta testers. The updates add some new features and also come with bug fixes.

In the last year, Apple has significantly ramped up its movie offerings with a string of high-budget, big-name films receiving wide theatrical releases and long exclusivity windows before hitting Apple TV+.

While the earlier days of Apple-funded movies focused on smaller-budget indie films, like the Oscar-winning CODA, over the past half a year or so, Apple has turbocharged its offerings.

The company recently debuted massive projects like Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, and most recently, Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle. All three films came not only with prestigious directors behind them, but also massive financial backing to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now, according to a new report, it sounds like Apple’s leadership is reassessing its ambitions for film, including the role of theatrical releases as part of its strategy.

Apple on Tuesday announced new iPads at its “Let Loose” event, but the company also took the opportunity to unveil a major update coming to Final Cut Pro for iPad. However, what the company didn’t mention at the event is that there’s also an update coming to the Mac version of Final Cut, which will introduce new AI-based features.

Apple has refreshed the iPad line for 2024, and there are more choices than ever. In addition to the usual hardware upgrades, Apple has added a larger iPad Air to the lineup. Meanwhile, the iPad Pro has a nano-texture glass option for the first time. 

Today the Apple Pencil lineup got more confusing than ever. When Apple introduced the new Apple Pencil Pro, it chose not to remove any of the three existing models from sale. This means there are four Pencil options for new customers.

However, what if you already have an existing Apple Pencil and simply want to upgrade your iPad to the enticing new M4 iPad Pro?

We have some bad news for you.

As well as losing an ultra-wide camera, the new iPad Pro has also dropped support for 5G mmWave.

As seen on the iPad Pro specs page, the M4 iPad Pro supports 5G cellular on sub-6 GHz spectrum only, and LTE on 31 bands. The older cellular iPad Pro could do mmWave and supported one additional LTE band.

Apple today officially unveiled the future of its iPad product category with new iPad Air and iPad Pro lineups. Apple invited influencers and members of the press to New York City and London to go hands-on with the devices. Head below for a roundup of everyone’s first impressions.

Last fall Apple launched an Apple Pencil with USB-C and a mix of features from the premium Apple Pencil 2 while holding some back to keep the price tag at $50 below the high-end model. Now the Apple Pencil Pro has arrived. Here’s how Apple Pencil Pro vs USB-C, 2, and 1 compare.

Today at the iPad-focused ‘Let loose’ event, Apple not only introduced compelling new iPad hardware, it also had a first-party software story to tell.

The main highlights of that story were Final Cut Pro 2 and Logic Pro 2 for iPadOS. These major updates to Apple’s iPad-exclusive versions of its pro software suite seem set to take great advantage of advancements like the iPad Pro’s M4 chip.

Included in that announcement, though, was news of a brand new app coming to the iPhone and iPad: Final Cut Camera.

While the new iPad Pro with M4 is a major step forward across the board, there a couple gotchas to be aware of. Firstly, with this generation, Apple has removed the ultra-wide camera from the rear camera module altogether.

Also, while Apple touts the performance jump of the 10-core CPU found inside the new M4 chip, that chip variant is exclusive to the 1 TB and 2 TB iPad Pro models. Lower storage iPads get a 9-core CPU. They also have half the RAM …

Apple’s M4 iPad Pro and new iPad Air are both on sale, and the company’s website has revealed some key additional info about the devices that were not mentioned during the announcement.

One such tidbit has to do with a change in how SIMs are handled on both iPads.

Apple has officially launched the all-new iPad Pro and iPad Air with M4 and M2 chips. And with that, the company has revealed the 2024 iPad battery life and other tech specs for the all-new tablets. Here’s what you can expect.

Apple on Tuesday held its special “Let Loose” event at which the company introduced the new M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro. Interestingly, at the end of the event, Apple confirmed that it was entirely recorded on the iPhone (potentially on the iPhone 15 Pro). But the most intriguing part is that the company also says it was “edited on Mac… and iPad.”
