Apple, the famous company that makes iPhones and Macs, showed off its new iPad tablets and accessories on Tuesday. The star of the show was the new iPad Pro. It has a better screen and a faster brain than the old ones. This good news made Apple’s stock price go up a little bit.
In a video that was 38 minutes long, the big bosses at Apple talked about how smart the new iPad Pro is. This fancy tablet uses Apple’s newest brain, called the M4. The iPads we have now use an older brain called the M2. Apple decided to skip the M3 brain and go straight to the M4 for the iPad Pro.
The M4 brain is really fast. It can do up to 38 trillion things in one second. That’s faster than any other computer brain today, Apple said. The M4 is made using a super tiny technology called 3-nanometer process. This means the wires inside the chip are really, really small.
Apple says the M4 brain makes the new iPad Pro super powerful for smart tasks. The M4 has special parts for learning things, a part for making pretty pictures, and a part for remembering things quickly.
“This is the biggest day for iPad since it first came out,” said Tim Cook, the boss of Apple, at the start of the video.
After the iPad event, Apple’s stock price went up a little bit more to 181.79.
During the video, Apple showed off smart apps for people who make videos, games, and music.
The new iPad Pro also has a better screen called an OLED display. This screen has two layers to make the picture brighter. OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode.
The new iPad Pro comes in two sizes: 11 inches and 13 inches. The prices start at $999 and $1,299. They will be in stores on May 15.
Apple also showed a new version of its Apple Pencil and new keyboards for its tablets. Plus, Apple announced new models of its iPad Air and a cheaper iPad, which now starts at $349.
Apple’s stock price has been steady for the past 21 weeks at a buy point of 199.62. This buy point is also its highest price ever, reached on Dec. 14.
