The OLED iPad Pro features the “thinnest body on an Apple product,” and the iPad Air now offers a 13-inch model.
The wait is finally over. Apple just announced two brand-new iPad Pros—an 11-inch and a 13-inch model—at its Let Loose event today, confirming our months-long speculation about them. The event also revealed two new 11 and 13-inch iPad Air models.
One of the most boasted features of the new iPad Pros is their revamped design. The company claims these are the “thinnest Apple products ever” and are even slimmer than the iPod Nano. The 11-inch iPad Pro is only 5.3mm thick, and the 13-inch one measures just 5.1mm. The 11-inch iPad Pro weighs less than a pound (0.98 lbs), which is seriously impressive. Apple added that despite shaving a few mms off the thickness and a few pounds off the weight, the two new iPad Pros are just as strong as its previous versions, sporting robust all-aluminum bodies.
The biggest news here is Apple finally brought the long-awaited OLED display to its iPads. But this is Apple we’re talking about. They’re not going to simply give us a regular OLED display and call it a day. On the two new iPad Pros, they’ve introduced what they’re calling Tandem OLED technology. We’re going to dive deeper into this later, but for now, all you need to know is Tandem OLED is essentially two OLED displays stacked onto each other for increased brightness.
