Apple iPad event 2024: Live updates as Apple unveils the new iPad Pro – Engadget

Apple didn’t release any updates to the iPad lineup in 2023, but that’s about to change. At today’s “Let Loose” event, the company is expected to take the wraps off a new iPad Pro, which sounds like it’ll be a complete redesign featuring an OLED display and a new M4 chip inside. The iPad Air, meanwhile, is likely to get a more powerful chip than the M1 it currently has, and a larger screen option is also on the table.

We’ll be at Apple’s NYC event space covering all the news as it happens, and we’ll hopefully be following that with hands-on details of the new products. Our liveblog will have everything you need to know, so stay tuned — the event starts at 10AM ET.

Follow all of the news live from Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event right here.

Live68 updates

  • You can also now edit footage directly from an external drive, so you don’t have to move the video onto your iPad’s local storage.

  • New feature: Live mult-cam. This means you can connect and preview up to four cameras all at once. You can adjust white balance, exposure and so forth. To do this, Apple created a new app, Final Cut Camera, to tie this all together.

  • For starters, Final Cut Pro’s performance is about 2x faster than the M1.

  • Apple says both apps are getting major updates, Final Cut Pro2 and Logic Pro 2. Professional content creators, take note.

  • Now we’re on to “pro” apps like Z-Brush for 3D modeling or Apple’s own apps like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro, which launched last year.

  • We’re getting a quick overview of iPadOS now, but it doesn’t sound like anything new here yet. We’ll have to wait another month for WWDC for that stuff.

  • Apple says that thermal performance has been improved by 20 percent; putting these all together means this iPad is four times faster than the last model.

  • This will be great for watching Netflix.

  • The M4’s neural engine is dedicated to machine learning and AI, and apple says it’s capable of 38 trillion operations per second. 60 times faster than the first neural engine that arrived in the A11 a while back.

  • M4 can deliver the same performance as M2 with half the power. So this shouldn’t crush battery life.

  • 10-core GPU here as well, with 4 times faster rendering performance compared to M2.

  • New CPU has up to 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, with 50 percent faster performance compared to the M2 iPad Pro.

  • M4 has a new display engine that powers the screen here, something we haven’t seen on other M-series chips.

  • Apple really wants this new iPad to offer a huge performance jump over the old one, so here we are. This is a serious flex.

  • Nano-texture comes to iPad Pro for the first time.Nano-texture comes to iPad Pro for the first time.

  • Yup, they’re skipping the M3 entirely. Apple says the display requires a more powerful processor, so we’re getting the M4. Not on a Mac, but an iPad.

  • On to performance… are we getting an M4 now?
