DRDO hands over nine defence tech projects to IIT-Bhubaneswar
BHUBANESWAR: Nine projects sanctioned from the electronics and communication systems (ECS) cluster of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) were handed over to IIT-Bhubaneswar at a collaboration meeting here on Tuesday. Seven more projects are in the process of being sanctioned from ECS with a funding of Rs 18 crore. The IIT-Bhubaneswar will work on these sanctioned projects, which would be beneficial in electronics warfare, AI-driven surveillance, power systems and radar systems. Informing about the projects, head of Electrical Science school of IIT-Bhubaneswar SR Samantaray said the collaboration of IIT-Bhubaneswar and DRDO will contribute to the emerging research and development need of defence applications, creating platform for Atma Nirbhar Bharat. This form of collaboration will enhance the sustainability of defence research programmes and will be part of the ecosystem for nation building. The collaboration between the ECS Cluster of DRDO and IIT-Bhubaneswar is intended towards working for a common cause to fulfil the future needs of the country in the field of defence technology, he said. Speaking on the occasion, director general of ECS Binay K Das said DRDO is going through a transformation from being technology chasers to becoming technology enablers and trendsetters. The goal is now to move beyond attaining self-reliance to setting standards for the Indian Armed Forces, for others across the globe to emulate. In this context, this collaboration, and the further opportunity to set up a Centre of Excellence at IIT-Bhubaneswar would prove crucial, he added. He further advised the researchers and faculty members associated with various DRDO sanctioned projects to work systematically with proper review and risk management systems to complete the projects in time and come up with unique solutions. On the collaboration with DRDO, director of IIT-Bhubaneswar Shreepad Karmalkar said the IITs across the country have moved beyond knowledge generation and dissemination to knowledge application, wealth generation through start-ups, entrepreneurship and producing quality teachers. In such a scenario, collaborations with DRDO for research in the field of defence mechanism and technology will pave a new path towards excellence, he said. Karmalkar emphasised on the role of research scholars in coming up with innovative ideas. DRDO officials informed that they are looking forward to having collaborations with the academia for research and industry for taking the projects forward to the application level. These collaborations with academic institutions aim at developing cutting-edge and next generation technologies to make India at par with the international standards in terms of defence technology.

Modi's Leadership Propels India's Global Stature: Tech Executive
Modi's Leadership Propels India's Global Stature: Tech Executive Prime Minister Narendra Modi is doing a phenomenal job in making India rise again and make a mark on the global stage, a Silicon Valley-based tech entrepreneur has said. Objectively speaking, when you look at the sentiment in India or the sentiment globally about India, the only observation you have is that Mr Modi is doing a phenomenal job of making India rise again on the world stage, Sandeep Bhatt, the co-founder of Devicethread, a startup aimed at revolutionising the hospitality industry by connecting digital and physical infrastructure, told PTI in an interview. That's my personal sentiment for sure. I cannot speak for TiE, but I am a big fan of Modi at a personal level, and I hope that his leadership takes India to the next stage in the coming years, said Bhatt, a board member of TiE Silicon Valley. Noting that India has witnessed a lot of development in the last 10 years, he said one cannot deny that India is making progress by leaps and bounds. Some of the vision outlined by the government is also along the right lines, but more execution is needed. Sometimes there is a gap between the vision and the reality on the ground. So, we have to continue to unlock the potential, we have to continue to help remove the obstacles, the entrepreneur said on the sidelines of the annual TiECon conference here last week. For example, many things that you get done here, if I were to, let's say, start a new venture and launch a corporation, I can do it really fast here. If I want to close that corporation, I can also do it really fast here. But India doesn't yet have as much of a speed (in these areas), he explained. Bhatt said every entrepreneur wants to foray into the Indian market, adding that all India has to do is to make it easier to conduct business in the country. He said he was told by those in his manufacturing network that it was easy to set up a manufacturing business in China, adding, ''Everything aligned there to make it (the business) happen.'' ''India can achieve the same thing, Bhatt pointed out, saying, ''So, we need to get our internal house in order at the local level, at every city level. And the opportunities will start coming. India will become a USD 10 trillion economy, one of the largest economies in the world, in no time as a result of that.'' Sharing the latest focus areas of TiE, Bhatt said the organisation is now bringing changes favouring the youth and women, he said. ''If you look at the world of technology or Silicon Valley and the demographics that make that impact, it makes sense for TiE to be representative of their demographic. Another thing we want to make sure of is we are encouraging the youth to be part of TiE to benefit from it, he added. This year, TiE has reached out to universities and startups. ''A platform like TiE is very appealing to them. So we tapped into that sort of demand and found the university ecosystem quite responsive to that as well. So, we combined startups and universities with seasoned industry leaders from corporations, among others, and brought them together under this one umbrella, he said in response to a question.

New iPad Pros Support Lower Refresh Rate, But Lack Always-On Display
The new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models are equipped with OLED displays that support a refresh rate as low as 10Hz, but the devices still lack an always-on display option like the iPhone and Apple Watch have, according to Apple's tech specs . While the iPad Pro has supported ProMotion since 2017, the device only supported refresh rates between 24Hz and 120Hz until now. The new iPad Pro models use low-power LTPO technology, according to display industry expert Ross Young , allowing the display to ramp down to 10Hz for static content. This change will contribute to lower power consumption, but advertised battery life is unchanged overall compared to the previous iPad Pro generation. The same situation happened a few years ago with the iPhone 13 Pro models, which also support ProMotion down to 10Hz, but lack an always-on display option. The feature finally arrived on the iPhone with the iPhone 14 Pro models, which can ramp down to 1Hz, and Apple Watch models with an always-on display also reach 1Hz. All in all, the iPad Pro is unlikely to get an always-on display option until if and when it too supports a 1Hz refresh rate. Apple says the iPad Pro now features state-of-the-art tandem OLED technology that uses two OLED panels and combines the light from both to provide phenomenal full-screen brightness. The new iPad Pro models can achieve up to 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness for SDR content, compared to 600 nits for the previous-generation models. The new iPad Pro models are available to order starting today and launch on Wednesday, May 15.

Apple Pencil Buyer's Guide: Which Model Should You Choose?
Apple now offers four different Apple Pencil models at $79, $99, and $129 price points, each with different feature sets and compatibility. Our guide helps you decide which Apple Pencil is best for you. Which Apple Pencil you should buy is firstly determined by which iPad model you have. Some iPad models are only compatible with one kind of Apple Pencil, while others are compatible with two. If your iPad model only supports one kind of Apple Pencil, your buying decision is straightforward. Use the table below to find out which Apple Pencil models your iPad supports: Apple Pencil (first-generation, 2015) Apple Pencil (second-generation, 2018) Apple Pencil (USB-C, 2023) Apple Pencil Pro (2024) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (first- and second-generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (third-, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-generation) iPad Pro 12.9-inch (third-, fourth-, fifth-, sixth-, and seventh- generation) iPad Pro 13-inch (seventh-generation) iPad Pro 9.7-inch and 10.5-inch iPad Pro 11-inch (first-, second-, third-, and fourth-generation) iPad Pro 11-inch (first-, second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-generation) iPad Pro 11-inch (fifth-generation) iPad Air (third-generation) iPad Air (fourth- and fifth-generation) iPad Air (fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-generation) iPad Air (sixth-generation) iPad mini (fifth-generation) iPad mini (sixth-generation) iPad mini (sixth-generation) iPad (sixth-, seventh-, eighth-, ninth-, and tenth-generation) iPad (tenth-generation) Simply put, if your iPad features a Lightning connector, it is only compatible with the first-generation Apple Pencil, providing it has Apple Pencil support at all. It will not work with the second-generation Apple Pencil or the Apple Pencil with USB-C. If your iPad features a USB-C port, it is compatible with the second-generation Apple Pencil and the Apple Pencil with USB-C, except the tenth-generation iPad, which supports the first-generation Apple Pencil and Apple Pencil with USB-C, and the M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro, which support the Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil with USB-C. It is worth noting that the first-generation Apple Pencil is only compatible with the tenth-generation iPad using a USB-C cable and USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter. It is not possible to use the first-generation Apple Pencil this way with any other iPad model that has a USB-C port. All four Apple Pencil models feature pixel-perfect precision, low latency, and tilt sensitivity, but feature different designs, pairing and charging methods, pressure sensitivity capabilities, and more. The below table lists all hardware and feature differences between the different Apple Pencil models. Apple Pencil (first-generation, 2015) Apple Pencil (second-generation, 2018) Apple Pencil (USB-C, 2023) Apple Pencil Pro (2024) Glossy finish Matte finish Matte finish Matte finish Weighted to prevent rolling Flat edge to prevent rolling and snap to the side of an iPad Flat edge to prevent rolling and snap to the side of an iPad Flat edge to prevent rolling and snap to the side of an iPad Attaches magnetically for storage, pairing, and charging Attaches magnetically for storage Attaches magnetically for storage, pairing, and charging 6.92-inch length 6.53-inch length 6.1-inch length [Currently unknown] Removable cap Non-removable sliding cap Lightning connector USB-C port Pair and charge via Lightning port or USB-C cable and USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter Pair and charge wirelessly Pair and charge via USB-C cable Pair and charge wirelessly Pressure sensitivity Pressure sensitivity Pressure sensitivity Barrel roll Supports Apple Pencil hover Supports Apple Pencil hover Supports Apple Pencil hover Double-tap to change tools Double-tap to change tools Squeeze control Haptic feedback Find My support Free engraving option Free engraving option $99 $129 $79 $129 First-Generation Apple Pencil vs. Apple Pencil With USB-C Most users should choose the Apple Pencil with USB-C. For a price of just $79, the Apple Pencil with USB-C provides a good balance of features with a more modern design. It also has the added advantage of being compatible with a wide range of models and will likely work with all new iPad models for many years to come. It is only worth opting for the first-generation Apple Pencil if you specifically want pressure-sensitivity for activities like illustration, since the Apple Pencil with USB-C does not have this feature. Buyers should be aware that this model comes at a $20 premium, requires a USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter with the tenth-generation iPad, and will not be compatible with any future iPad models. It also cannot be magnetically attached to an iPad for storage, features a larger and older design, and has a removable cap over the Lightning connector that's easy to lose. Second-Generation Apple Pencil or Apple Pencil Pro vs. Apple Pencil With USB-C If choosing between the second-generation Apple Pencil or Apple Pencil Pro and the Apple Pencil with USB-C, the second-generation and Pro models are a better choice on account of their superior feature set, but this requires spending an additional $50. Double-tap to change tools and pressure-sensitivity may be particularly useful additions for illustrators, while the easy pairing and charging on the side of an iPad provides a much better experience than a wired connection with a USB-C cable. If you have only basic needs for activities like handwriting notes and marking up documents, the Apple Pencil with USB-C is still a great option at a much more affordable price point. It even supports Apple Pencil hover on the newer iPad Air and iPad Pro models.

Apple Debuts New Final Cut Pro for iPad and Final Cut Camera App
Apple today introduced a new version of the Final Cut Pro software that's designed to run on the iPad , introducing capabilities designed specifically for the M4 iPad Pro . A new Live Multicam feature allows users to capture up to four different angles of a single scene using connected iPhones and iPads. To make this feature work, Apple has created a Final Cut Camera app that captures video from each of the devices and feeds it into Final Cut Pro. Users can get a director's view of each camera in real time, and the settings can be adjusted from the Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 app. There are options for tweaking exposure, focus, white balance, ISO, shutter speed, and zoom to get the perfect shots. Preview clips are passed through to Final Cut Pro and then replaced with full-resolution files so users can quickly move from production to editing. Final Cut Camera is available as a standalone app and in addition to feeding footage to Final Cut Pro, it can be used as a video capture app for recording video with precise manual controls. The updated Final Cut Pro for iPad app supports external projects, so users can create or open projects on an external device and import media without taking up iPad storage space. Apple added additional customization options to Final Cut Pro, including 12 color-grading presets, eight basic text titles, 20 soundtracks, and new dynamic backgrounds. With the M4 chip, final rendering with Final Cut Pro is up to 2x faster, and it supports up to 4x more streams of ProRes RAW than the M1 chip. Final Cut for iPad works with the Apple Pencil Pro, adding support for barrel roll and squeeze, improving access to and control over tools. Apple has also updated Final Cut Pro for the Mac, adding Enhance Light and Color, an AI feature that improves color, color balance, contrast, and brightness in one step. Smooth Slo-Mo, another new feature, blends frames of video intelligently to provide higher-quality movement. Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 will be available this spring as a free update for existing users, with new users able to purchase it for $4.99 per month or $49 per year. Final Cut Camera will come later in the spring as well, and Final Cut Pro for Mac 10.8 will be available as a free update for existing users.

New 2024 iPads Still Have 10 Hours of Battery Life
The iPad Pro and iPad Air models that Apple introduced today continue to offer the same 10 hours of battery life that Apple has advertised with iPads for years now, despite the addition of new, more efficient chips. Apple's iPad Pro has an M4 chip that is built on second-generation 3-nanometer technology, and it has six efficiency cores, or two more than the M2 . The device is also equipped with a more efficient OLED display, but neither the chip nor the OLED display have resulted in additional battery life. The 11-inch iPad Pro has a 31.29-watt-hour battery, up from 28.65watthours in the prior-generation model, while the 13-inch iPad Pro has a 38.99-watt-hour battery, down from 40.88-watt-hours. As for the iPad Air, the 11-inch model has a 28.93watthour, up slightly from the 28.6-watt-hour battery that was in the prior 10.9-inch version. The new 13-inch model has a 36.59watthour battery.

iPad Air 2022 vs. iPad Air 2024 Buyer's Guide: 19 Differences Compared
Apple's new iPad Airs arrive almost a year and a half after the previous models, offering almost 20 changes and upgrades. The 2022 iPad Air was a minor upgrade that added features such as the M1 chip and a 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera with Center Stage. The 2024 refresh is more substantial, headlining with a larger size option for the first time, bringing it in line with devices like the iPad Pro , MacBook Air , and MacBook Pro, which are available in two sizes. The 2022 iPad Air models have now been discontinued by Apple, but they may still be found refurbished and with third-party resellers for lower prices. As such, some customers may be weighing up whether to buy the 2022 iPad Air or the new 2024 models. The iPad Airs from 2022 and 2024 share most of their key features, so should you consider buying or sticking with the older model to save money? This breakdown also serves as a way to clearly see all the differences that the new iPad Air brings to the table. iPad Air (2022) iPad Air (2024) 10.9-inch display 11- or 13-inch display M1 chip (5nm, N5) M2 chip (5nm enhanced, N5P) 3.2GHz CPU clock speed 3.49GHz CPU clock speed 8-core GPU 10-core GPU 68.25GB/s memory bandwidth 100GB/s memory bandwidth Neural Engine 40% faster Neural Engine Media engine for hardware-accelerated H.264 and HEVC Media engine for hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW Video decode engine Higher-bandwidth video decode engine ProRes encode and decode engine Image signal processor (ISP) New image signal processor (ISP) Smart HDR 3 Smart HDR 4 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera Landscape 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera Wi-Fi 6 connectivity Wi-Fi 6E connectivity Physical SIM card slot eSIM only Apple Pencil hover Supports Apple Pencil (USB-C) and Apple Pencil (2nd generation) Supports Apple Pencil (USB-C) and Apple Pencil Pro Supports Magic Keyboard for iPad and Smart Keyboard Folio Supports Magic Keyboard for iPad 64GB or 256GB storage 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage Available in Space Gray, Starlight, Pink, Purple, and Blue Available in Space Gray, Starlight, Purple, and Blue The most important part of the new iPad Air is the larger display size option, which provides a way for customers who don't need features like ProMotion and a LiDAR scanner to obtain a bigger screen that's better for productivity and content consumption at a lower price point. Beyond this larger new model, the M2 chip, Apple Pencil hover and Apple Pencil Pro support, and landscape front-facing camera are valuable improvements. That being said, it is certainly not essential to upgrade from the previous model to the new iPad Air. Unless you have an entry-level iPad or an iPad Air from before 2020, or explicitly want a 13-inch model, it is likely not worth upgrading.

iPad Pro 2022 vs. iPad Pro 2024 Buyer's Guide: 25 Differences Compared
Apple's new iPad Pro models come almost a year and a half after their predecessors, offering 25 significant changes and upgrades. The 2022 iPad Pro was a minor upgrade that added the M2 chip and Apple Pencil hover, as well as support for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Smart HDR 4. The 2024 refresh is much more substantial, with more than two dozen changes and generation-over-generation improvements. The 2022 iPad Pro models have now been discontinued by Apple, but they may still be found refurbished and with third-party resellers for lower prices. As such, some customers may be weighing up whether to buy the 2022 iPad Pro or the new 2024 models. The iPad Pros from 2022 and 2024 share many of their key features, so should you consider buying or sticking with the older model to save money? This breakdown also serves as a way to clearly see all the differences that the new iPad Pro brings to the table. iPad Pro (2022) iPad Pro (2024) 11- or 12.9-inch display 11- or 13-inch display Liquid Retina or Liquid Retina XDR display LED or mini-LED backlit display with IPS Ultra Retina XDR display Tandem OLED SDR brightness: 600 nits max SDR brightness: 1000 nits max Nano-texture display glass option on 1TB and 2TB models M2 chip (5nm, N5P) M4 chip ( 3nm enhanced, N3E) 8-core CPU 9- or 10-core CPU Hardware-accelerated ray tracing Hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW Hardware-accelerated 8K H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW ProRes encode and decode engine ProRes encode and decode engine AV1 decode 100GB/s memory bandwidth 120GB/s memory bandwidth Improved thermal design with graphite sheets and copper 10MP /2.4 Ultra Wide camera 2x optical zoom out and digital zoom up to 5x Digital zoom up to 5x ProRes video recording up to 4K at 60 fps with external recording True Tone flash Adaptive True Tone flash Rear ambient light sensor 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera Landscape 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera Sub-6GHz and mmWave 5G support Sub-6GHz 5G support only Physical SIM card slot eSIM only Depth : 5.9mm or 6.4mm Depth : 5.3mm or 5.1mm Weight : 1.03 pounds (466 grams) or 1.5 pounds (682 grams) Weight : 0.98 pounds (444 grams) or 1.28 pounds (579 grams) Supports Apple Pencil (USBC) and Apple Pencil (2nd generation) Supports Apple Pencil (USBC) and Apple Pencil Pro Supports Magic Keyboard for iPad and Smart Keyboard Folio Supports Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (M4) Available with 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB storage Available with 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB storage Available in Silver and Space Gray Available in Silver and Space Black Overall, the new iPad Pro is an unusually significant upgrade over the previous generation, offering a large number of improvements that meaningfully improve the hardware experience with the device. The move to a high-end OLED display, thinner and lighter design, Adaptive True Tone flash, and landscape 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera are noticeable improvements that almost all users will benefit from. Features like the M4 chip, nano-texture display option, and Apple Pencil Pro support have the potential to enhance specific tasks and processes with the device, which could be particularly important to the likes of content creators and digital artists. However, it is important to note that the new iPad Pro does not have any software advantages over previous versions of the device. Upgrading to the latest model is unlikely to dramatically change workflows, but it should offer a better overall experience. Users with an older iPad Pro, such as a 2018 model or older, have considerably more to gain by upgrading.

New sleeker, aluminum Magic Keyboard makes iPad Pro even more Mac-like
Macworld One of Apples best accessories is its keyboard case for iPad Air and Pro, called Magic Keyboard . To go along with the newly-designed, thinner iPad Pro, Apple introduced a new sleeker Magic Keyboard. Its got almost everything we loved about the old Magic Keyboard like pass-through USB-C charging and quality backlit keys (sadly the high price tag comes with it), but makes the following improvements: Its thinner. Theres a half-height function row to control quick settings like brightness, volume, and media controls. The trackpad is larger and has haptic feedback. The keyboard deck is aluminum. Apple Apple Apple Between the aluminum keyboard deck, larger trackpad with haptic feedback, function row, and all-around thinner package (together with a thinner iPad Pro), the whole thing feels more like a MacBook than ever before. Of course, the price is still sky-high: The new 13-inch iPad Air starts at $1,299 and the Magic Keyboard at $349. So youre up to $1,650 for the base model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage before you even begin looking at Apple Pencil Pro or other accessories. Thats a lot more than a 13-inch MacBook Air and even a little higher than a 14-inch MacBook Pro. The new Magic Keyboard supports only the new M4 iPad Pro; the slimmer design is made to fit the new slimmer iPad Pro specifically. If you have the new M2 iPad Air, youll have to use the older Magic Keyboard. Accessories, iPad

New iPad Pro Lacks mmWave 5G and Ultra-Wide Camera
While the iPad Pro was updated with the M4 chip and more today, the latest 11-inch and 13-inch models lack two features that are available on some previous models, including mmWave 5G support and an Ultra Wide camera. Apple's comparison page confirms that cellular configurations of the new iPad Pro models are limited to sub-6GHz bands for 5G. mmWave 5G was supported on the previous two iPad Pro generations, but in the U.S. only and never elsewhere. Apple has yet to explain why it removed mmWave support from the iPad Pro. mmWave is a set of 5G frequencies that can provide very fast speeds at short distances, which is ideal for dense urban areas. By comparison, sub-6GHz 5G is generally slower than mmWave, but the signals travel further, better serving suburban and rural areas. The 10-megapixel Ultra Wide rear camera on the last three iPad Pro generations is also absent on the latest models, which only have a 12-megapixel Wide rear camera. As we previously noted, cellular configurations of the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air models also lack a physical SIM card slot , making them eSIM-only devices.

Apple announces the M2 iPad Air with a larger 13-inch screen
Macworld At its Let Loose event on May 7, Apple announced an all-new version of the iPad Air. As expected, the update includes a larger-screen model and an upgrade from the M1 to the M2 processor. The new Air comes in four similar colors: blue, purple, Starlight, and Space Gray. But theres a lot more to this upgrade than appearances. Upgraded screen The eye-catching change for the 2024 generation is the new larger screen option . Ahead of the event, pundits predicted that the iPad Air would match the Pro and offer a mid-size (11-inch) and large (12.9-inch) display spec. But Apple went a little further than expected and bumped the Air to a full 13 inches, matching the M4 iPad Pro. Tech-wise, this is essentially the same screen as we got last time (theres no mini-LED as was predicted at one point, just LED, and no ProMotion), only bigger. Whereas the 11-inch model has screen specs of 23601640 at 264ppi, the same as the 5th-gen iPad Air from 2022, the 13-inch model is bumped to 23601640, also at 264ppi. The larger screen also gets a higher brightness rating, at 600 nits max compared to 500 on both the new 11-inch model and the 2024 Air. Finally, both of the new Air models have displays that support the Hover feature ( introduced in 2022 on the iPad Pro only) with the new Apple Pencil Pro. Note that theyre not compatible with the Apple Pencil 1st gen or 2nd gen, but they do work with the Apple Pencil USB-C. Yes, its confusing . Apple Apple Apple Camera setup The little-used rear-facing camera on the iPad Air is largely the same as before, other than a predictable bump from Smart HDR 3 to Smart HDR 4 for those awkward lighting conditions youre unlikely to be tackling with an iPad. Its still a 12MP wide lens with a f/1.8 aperture and 5x digital zoom. The real fun happens at the front. After shifting the camera from the short to the long edge on the 10-gen iPad back in 2022, Apple has finally decided to do the same thing on its more expensive tablets, including the Air. The landscape camera will make video calls far more natural and intuitive. We knew this was coming, but its still good to see. Apple Apple Apple Tech specs At the heart of the new Air sits an M2 processor , with an 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU, in an obvious step up from the M1 in 2022s Air. With the iPad Pro jumping this year from the M2 all the way up to the M4, this seems a little less impressive, but its still a speedy and worthwhile chip. And as Apple repeatedly said in the keynote, the Air is supposed to be a cheaper Pro for people who dont need as much power and high-end features. Apple boasts that the M2 delivers 15 percent faster CPU performance than the M1, 25 faster GPU performance, and a 40 percent faster Neural Engine. (Of course, well need to make our own tests when we get a review sample but those numbers match previous testing.) If youre upgrading from two generations ago, the 4th-gen Air with its A14 Bionic chip, Apple says youll see a performance boost thats a whopping 3x faster across the board. Storage capacities have been bumped, too. The 5th-gen iPad Air came with 64GB or 256GB, but the new models offer far more choice, including a top tier of 1TB. You pay for the privilege at those upper ends, of course, but the entry-level 11-inch gives you twice as much storage for the same price. 128GB 256GB 512GB 1TB Other than this, the Air has been upgraded from Bluetooth 5.0 in the 5th-gen model to Bluetooth 5.3, and from Wi-Fi 6 to Wi-Fi 6E. And the 13-inch model only gets what Apple describes as 2x bass in its stereo speaker setup. Dont worry, well test this too. Release date and availability The 2024 iPad was announced at Apples Let Loose event on May 7, and can be ordered right away . It will ship to customers, and appear in stores, on Wednesday, May 15 . Prices The 11-inch iPad Air starts at $599. The 13-inch model starts at $799.

Apple's New Cellular iPad Air and iPad Pro Models Are eSIM Only
Apple at its Let Loose event today announced new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, and there are smaller changes compared to the previous generation devices that did not get mentioned during the event but are worth knowing about. One of the differences worth noting is the lack of a physical SIM card slot. On the previous generation models, the cellular versions of both the iPad Air and the iPad Pro included a physical SIM card slot. In the new devices, that's no longer the case. All cellular models now support eSIM only. It's a small but crucial detail for anyone looking to upgrade their iPad while sticking with their current cellular plan. Apple has not divulged the reason why it chose to remove the physical SIM slot, but it could have been a design decision related to making the devices slimmer, or a necessity to keep them slim, given all of the devices' hardware upgrades. Either way, the change brings parity to Apple's latest iPad models and its iPhone , which dropped the physical SIM slot in 2022 with the launch of the iPhone 14 .

New Apple Pencil Pro adds a fourth stylus option for iPads
Macworld For some reason, Apple sells three accessories all named Apple Pencil, each with different features and compatibility. The solution? A fourth Apple Pencil! The new Apple Pencil Pro may seem like an unnecessary complication to a stylus lineup for an accessory that shouldnt need a lineup , but theres no arguing that it doesnt deliver the features everyone wants. Apple Pencil Pro looks just like the 2nd-generation Apple Pencil, and it supports all the same features including magnetic charging and pairing, double-tap, and tilt and pressure sensitivity. But it also adds four new features weve wanted in an Apple Pencil for a long time: A gyroscope that lets you roll the pencil to change the orientation of shaped brushes and tools. A taptic engine for haptic feedback. Find My support. Squeeze sensitivity, to open palettes or change tool options like weights or colors. All this and it costs the same as the 2nd-generation Apple Pencil: $129. The difference is compatibility: The 2nd-gen Apple Pencil is supported by the last few years iPad Pro and iPad Air models, but not the new M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro. Apple Pencil Pro supports only the new M2 iPad Air (both sizes) and M4 iPad Pro (both sizes). It stands to reason that Apple will soon reduce its Apple Pencil line from four to twowhen older iPad Air and Pro models are no longer available. Apple has already stopped selling the 9th-generation iPad with a Lightning connector, so it stands to reason that the original Apple Pencil is no longer needed, but Apple will presumably still sell it until the 10th-gen iPad gets an update. For now, the stylus situation is confusing enough that Apple had to produce a features chart: Apple Apple Apple Accessories, iPad
Apple's New iPad Pro Models Weigh Less Than iPad Air Models
Apple today introduced ultra thin iPad Pro models, which are the thinnest iPad models to date. In fact, Apple is using the tagline hinpossible to describe the new tablets, and with that reduction in thickness, there's also been a reduction in weight. Both iPad Pro models are lighter than the iPad Air models, despite the iPad Air models having the Air name that has historically been used to denote a light weight and a thin design when compared to Pro devices. 13-inch iPad Pro - 1.28 pounds (579 grams) 13-inch iPad Air - 1.36 pounds (617 grams) 11-inch iPad Pro - 0.98 pounds (444 grams) 11-inch iPad Air - 1.02 pounds (462 grams) The 11-inch iPad Pro is 5.3mm thick, while the 13-inch iPad Pro is 5.1mm thick, which Apple pointed out is thinner than the iPod nano. Both iPad Air models are 6.1mm thick, comparatively, and they have noticeably thicker bezels. iPad Air pricing starts at $599, while iPad Pro pricing starts at $999.

Apple Debuts Next-Generation M4 Chip
Apple today unveiled the M4 chip, its newest system on a chip for the 2024 iPad Pro lineup. Apple said that the M4 chip features a new up-to-10-core CPU of up to four performance cores and six efficiency cores. The M4 chip comes in two different models: the 9-core CPU with 3 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores (for 256GB and 512GB iPad Pro), and 10-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores (for 1TB and 2TB iPad Pro). The M4 chip is built with second-generation 3nm technology and features a new display engine. It delivers up to 50% faster CPU performance than the M2 in the previous iPad Pro and four-times faster rendering performance. For performance in gaming, the M4 chip features Dynamic Caching that helps significantly increases performance for demanding pro apps and games. It also enables hardware-accelerated ray tracing on iPad for the first time. Finally, the M4 includes a Neural Engine that fuels accelerated AI workloads. Apple mentioned that this is the company's most powerful Neural Engine ever, capable of 38 trillion operations per second and helping users accomplish AI tasks quickly on the iPad Pro.

What is nano-texture glass and do I need it?
Macworld On some Apple products, including the Apple Studio Display and M4 iPad Pro, a feature called nano-texture glass is available. This is something that was first introduced on the incredibly expensive Pro Display XDR , before coming to other Apple products beginning with the now-discontinued 27-inch iMac. So, what is it, and should you spend hundreds more to have it adorn your screen? What is Nano-texture glass? Glare is often a problem in brightly lit offices and homes, which can render the large, glossy displays little more than hugely elaborate mirrors. One way to combat this is through matte displays. Opting for the new nano-texture glass will drastically reduce glare while avoiding the frostiness and washed-out colors that are often the compromise made when opting for a matte finish. Its all thanks to some clever design and a meticulous process that results in displays that can happily cope with bright light sources, albeit at a rather costly addition to the price tag. How does nano-texture glass work? One of the main causes of glare is light from lamps, windows, and other sources reflecting back at you due to the smooth surfaces of modern displays. Matte finishes combat this by having some kind of coating on the display which diffuses or breaks down the light due to its more angular surface. Sadly, this works both ways, so the light emanating from the display itself is also altered, resulting in the murkier results that usually accompany the technique. Apple has taken things to the next level by foregoing a coating and instead physically altering the surface itself through tiny (nano) etchings. The pattern of the etchings means that light rays hitting the display are reflected off at a range of angles, eradicating most of the glare in the process. The very clever part is that this somehow doesnt seem to have much of an effect on the onscreen display. Of course, making all those microscopic etches in the glass is a precision job, which is why it costs more. Over the years the price has come down, however, and the additional cost of the M4 iPad Pro is just $100 more than the standard glass (though youll need to get at least 1TB of storage). How can I clean nano-texture glass? One of the quirks of Apples new Nano-texture glass display is that the company insists it can only be cleaned using a specific Apple cloth. One is included with every display, but were not entirely sure what magic ingredients make it such a special piece of fabric. Needless to say, if youve just forked out half a grand for a special display technology, its probably a good idea to follow the manufacturers instructions and not buy a 5/$5 knockoff cloth from eBay. How durable is the nano-texture glass? Nano-texture is as durable as standard glass. Since it doesnt have a coating, there shouldnt be any noticeable wear. Should I get nano-texture glass on my Apple device? The main reason for adding on the costly Nano-texture glass feature is if you are struggling with glare, for example, if you use your Studio Display in a room with bright overhead lights or work outside on your iPad Pro.

Apple debuts M4 processor in new iPad Pro
Macworld Apples new iPad Pro is powered by the M4 processor, skipping the M3 entirely. Apple has never debuted an M-series processor in a product other than the Mac, so the launch of this new processor in the iPad Pro is an unexpected surprise. The M4 is made on an enhanced 3nm process and contains over 28 billion transistors and has the following advanced features in the iPad Pro: 4 high-performance CPU cores with improved branch prediction and wider decode and execution engines. 6 high-efficiency CPU cores with improved branch prediction and a deeper execution engine. 10-core GPU built on the same architecture as M3, with dynamic caching, mesh shaders, and ray tracing acceleration. 16-core Neural Engine delivering over 38 trillion operations per second. Apple Apple Apple Apple says the CPU is up to 50 percent faster than the M2 found in the previous iPad Pro, which means its somewhere around 20-25 percent faster than the CPU in the M3. The GPU is said to be up tofour times faster than that in the M2, though that might be a best case scenario that uses lots of ray tracing. The Neural Engine is the fastest in any Apple product, but just barelythe A17 Pro in the iPhone 15 Pro can do 35 trillion operations per second, according to Apple. Apple says the M4 has a memory bandwidth of 120GB/sec, up from 100GB/sec in both the M2 and M3. Theres also a new display engine to handle the Tandem OLED display and updated video processing with support for H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and AV1. When it comes to power efficiency, Apple says M4 uses no more power than the M2 and can deliver the same performance using only half the power, and the same performance as a thin and light PC with one-fourth the power (Apple used an ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED with Core Ultra 7 155H for that comparison). In iPad Pro models with 256GB or 512GB of storage, the M4 will have 8GB of RAM. In those with 1TB or 2TB of storage, it will have 16GB. So that remains unchanged from the M2. Its not clear when the M4 will make its way to the Mac, but with the M3 MacBook Air only arriving in March and the Pro models making their debut in November, its likely the first laptops wont roll out until later this year. However, its possible that the Mac mini, Studio, and Pro, which are still using M2 chips, get an M4 refresh sooner than that. iPad
