iPad Pro
The biggest highlight of the event will definitely be the next generation iPad Pro models that users have been waiting for many years. All-new 12.9-inch and 11-inch models will appear.
For the first time, OLED screen technology will be available on iPad. The 12.9-inch and 11-inch iPad Pro versions are expected to be equipped with this display technology, instead of using mini-LED screens (on the 12.9-inch version) and LCD screens (on the 11-inch model). from 2021 to present.
Using an OLED screen will help improve brightness and increase contrast significantly, especially black colors will appear darker. OLED would be a big improvement, especially on the smaller Pro version.

Both iPad Pros are also expected to be 20% and 15% thinner with the larger screen version and the smaller screen version, respectively. Specifically, the thinness of the 11.1-inch iPad Pro decreased from 5.9 mm of the previous generation to 5.1 mm, and the 12.9 inch version from 6.4 to 5 mm. The front camera will be moved to the side instead of above. This makes making video calls better when placing the device horizontally, or when using the keyboard.
This change is mainly due to smaller OLED screen components. However, the smaller body means less space for the battery.
iPad Pro OLED could be the first Apple product to feature an AI-focused M4 chip, or still use the existing M3 chip on the iMac or MacBook Air.
The device is said to have MagSafe wireless charging and up to 4TB of internal storage. Product price can increase from 160-700 USD depending on version.
iPad Air
Apple is also expected to launch the iPad Air in two different sizes for the first time. Among them, one 10.9 inch model is similar to the previous generation, the other 12.9 inch model is similar to iPad Pro. This move is aimed at people who want a large-sized iPad but at a cheaper price than the iPad Pro.
However, the iPad Air 2024 design is said to not have many changes compared to its predecessors, other than moving the camera to the side. “Apple” is expected to equip the M2 chip and add new color options for iPad Air.
