The throw-everything-at-the-wall to see what sticks technique labored with the iPhone, so Apple is now attempting it with the iPad sequence. By labored, we imply that Apple managed to efficiently push iPhone demand in direction of the upper priced Professional tier that now accounts for almost all of purchases.
Apple fragmented the iPad
It set the 2024 iPad Professional fashions to this point forward of the brand new iPad Air line that these trying to purchase an Apple pill would all the time really feel their slates insufficient, regardless of that the Air sequence additionally bought a facelift, and a brand new 13-inch mannequin.

Thinner than Air
Talking of the iPad Air, the iPad Professional now beats one thing that Apple calls the Air within the compact skinny and lightweight class by the margin extent that Apple calls “our thinnest product ever,” one other fragmentation level.
Overlook iPod nano, that is now the thinnest Apple system!
Heck, the brand new iPad Professional slogan is “Thinpossible,” corny as it could sound, and it’s all due to its new and unique OLED show!
Thinpossible as it could sound, the iPad Professional is now thinner than the Air
To realize this, Apple took full benefit of the hybrid OLED expertise that does not require a fats backlight layer like on LCD screens. It tasked LG with making an ultrathin 0.2mm base glass substrate and thin-film encapsulation which slimmed down the entire show bundle considerably, and allowed for a tool thinner than the 5.4mm iPad nano 7.
World’s most superior show
It’s practically twice brighter than the IPS display on the earlier iPad Professional, with unsurpassed distinction and shade gamut protection amongst iPad tablets to this point. There’s one benefit of tandem OLED screens conspicuously missing from the 2024 iPad Professionals, although.Â
When Honor teased the primary cellphone with dual-stack OLED show made by BOE, it hinted at a 40% improve in effectivity.

Skimping on battery life, we’re
About the one method Apple did not fragment the iPad line with is battery life. Heck, it even geared up the top-shelf 1TB and 2TB iPad Professional fashions with a boosted 10-core M4 chip and nano-texture cowl glass choice, but the battery life on all of its tablets is strictly the identical.
“As much as 10 hours of browsing the net on Wi-Fi or watching video” is now the official battery life for each pill that Apple sells, even the 2024 iPad Professional with its tandem OLED show that’s imagined to be 25%-40% extra frugal than single-stack screens.Â
Apple stayed mum on the ability draw of the 2024 iPad Professional, although it makes use of the most recent tandem OLED technology by LG that may be very energy environment friendly.

It is not the decision, as each 2024 iPads sport 264 ppi pixel density. It is not the mighty M4 chipset as it’s constructed on the environment friendly 3nm course of and Apple says it’s so frugal that it makes use of half the ability of its predecessor.
Other than the unlikely case of utilizing an older tandem OLED technology, a extra believable rationalization is that Apple skimped on battery specs to avoid wasting on manufacturing prices. We can’t know till the primary teardowns roll in, however the leaked certification specs certainly trace at a smaller 2024 iPad Professional battery, which might clarify the one spec Apple selected to not fragment.
Why? Nicely, its product group will need to have deemed 10 hours of operation as ample, so Apple did away with one of many essential benefits of tandem OLED shows, selecting magnificence earlier than bigger battery and higher battery life.Â
Can we blame it, contemplating that the tandem OLED within the 13-inch iPad Professional M4 prices Apple practically $400 apiece, in comparison with $150 within the M2 iPad Professional?
