Apple showed off some impressive new iPads. But there's still one thing that is holding them back from their full potential.
This story is part of our complete Apple WWDC coverage After a year-long drought, Apple finally released some new iPads during its Let Loose event on May 7. Though it was just the iPad Air and iPad Pro models that were updated, we did get a 13-inch option for the iPad Air along with the standard 11-inch size, as well as iPad Pros with new OLED displays.
Related For years, the iPad Air came in only one size, which ranged from 9.7 to 10.9 inches. This year, Apple introduced a second size option for the iPad Air — the 13-inch model — alongside the 11-inch one. Along with the new size is the bump up to the M2 chip from the M1, up to 1TB of storage, and support for the new Apple Pencil Pro.
The iPad — especially the iPad Pro — is geared more for artistic creatives, such as visual artists, musicians, photo and video editors, and more. If that’s you, the iPad can work out perfectly. But for everyone else? iPadOS leaves a lot to be desired. I mean, what can the iPad Pro with an M4 chip do right now that I can’t do on an iPad Air or even the 10th-gen iPad or iPad mini? I suppose there are certain apps, like Final Cut Pro for iPad, that will only work on certain models, but that’s a niche corner of the market.
