Apple has updated its range of iPads and now offers an impressive variety aimed at meeting the needs of every user. On Tuesday, the company announced two new iPad Pro models with OLED screens, a slimmer design, and next-generation chips that are intended to improve performance for AI applications. These models, available in 11-inch and 13-inch versions, will be available from May 15th and, starting at $999, are Apple's flagship products in the tablet sector.

In parallel, the iPad Air has been upgraded with more powerful chips and new color options, as well as improved cameras. It now also offers a larger 13-inch option alongside the existing 11-inch variant and positions itself as a more affordable alternative to the Pro model with a starting price of $599.

The regular iPad remains in the lineup with a new entry price of $349, making it especially attractive for price-conscious buyers and families. Despite the price reduction, it offers many of the design features of the more expensive Air models, such as bright colors and a USB-C port.

The iPad Mini, last updated in September 2021, remains unchanged in the lineup and is offered starting at $499, making it ideal for reading and watching videos.

This product diversity that Apple offers is designed to ensure that there is an option for every need and budget. The range extends from the most powerful tablets that can serve as full-fledged laptop replacements to simple devices for everyday tasks. With this, Apple aims to strike a balance between advanced technology and accessibility, integrating the latest technology across different price segments.
