Here you can pre-order the latest iPad Air and iPad Pro from Apple

Apple’s latest iPad Pro and iPad Air are finally officially real. Pre-orders opened on May 7, with the former tablet starting at $999 and the latter at $599. Both models come in 11- and 13-inch sizes and are scheduled to hit stores on Wednesday, May 15.

One of the most notable changes to the Pro models is the switch from LCD to OLED displays, which could be the killer feature for creators. But there’s a lot to like, like the new M4 chip that’s said to deliver 50 percent faster CPU performance than the previous model’s M2 chip, as well as a new 10-core GPU that supports mesh shading and ray tracing. The new iPad Pro also gets a slight camera change, as it now only has two rear cameras (it gets rid of the ultra-wide camera from the previous model, but there’s an improved adaptive flash). There’s also a repositioned front camera that’s now centered along the horizontal edge, allowing for less awkward video calls.

Meanwhile, the new iPad Air comes in two sizes, both equipped with the Apple M2 processor. The new models support the Apple Pencil feature that was exclusive to the M2 iPad Pro, and both include Wi-Fi 6E support. Neither size has an OLED display, but you still get a vibrant Liquid Retina XDR display, and the 13-inch model has improved stereo speakers (in landscape orientation) that supposedly “double the bass” of the 11-inch model. You can read our breakdown of the iPad Pro and iPad Air to get more in-depth details on how they differ.

As for accessories, both devices support the new Apple Pencil Pro, which is based on the second-generation magnetic version with a built-in Find My feature, a tap gesture with haptic feedback, and a gyroscope sensor. The new iPad Pros have an updated Magic Keyboard to match, now with a dedicated function row and a larger trackpad with haptic feedback. (Those using an iPad Air can use them with the original Magic Keyboards that are still available for older iPad Pro models.)

The newer iPad Air will be available in an 11-inch configuration and a second 13-inch configuration, making it easier for fans of the larger screen size to get it without paying the iPad Pro premium.
