For a concise overview of the Apple event, here's a look at 7 important announcements from the "Let Loose".

Apple unveiled its latest processor, the M4, during its event. Featuring a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, it is constructed using the more efficient 3nm process. According to Apple, the chip's CPU is 50 percent faster than the M2, positioning it as "an outrageously powerful chip for AI."

Apple has introduced a larger 13-inch iPad Air to its range, providing a more affordable and lighter option compared to the iPad Pro. Alongside the increased screen size, Apple has equipped the device with its latest M2 chip, surpassing the M1 chip found in its 2022 model.

Available in blue, purple, starlight, and space gray, the new iPad Air is priced at $599 for the 11-inch version and $799 for the 13-inch variant. Both models offer a base storage of 128GB, with additional options of 512GB and 1TB.

In a first, the iPad Pro now features a sharper and more vibrant OLED display. Alongside this enhancement, the iPad Pro boasts a slimmer profile, measuring only 5.3mm for the 11-inch iteration and 5.1mm for the 13-inch model.

Apple's redesign of the iPad Pro extends beyond its physical appearance; it also introduces the cutting-edge M4 processor. Available in silver and space black, the new iPad Pro offers a base storage of 256GB. The 11-inch variant starts at $999, while the 13-inch version begins at $1,299.
