Apple’s mini-event with two new iPads

Yesterday, Apple suddenly came up with two new iPads. In this article you look back at the mini-event and find out which of the two new iPads suits you best.

Apple announces iPads without a real Apple event

It’s not what we’re used to from Apple. A launch of products without an event and a keynote with a lot of fanfare. Yesterday, Apple launched the iPad 2022 and the iPad Pro 2022 (and the Apple TV 4K) through a series of press releases. Still, we were on the edge of our seats. The site had already been taken offline hours before.

But Apple wouldn’t be Apple if they still conjure up a flashy ‘event’ video. And yes! He’s there. Below you can watch this mini-event of the iPads. Then read on to find out which iPad is right for you.

iPad 2022: a colorful ‘entry-level’ iPad

This year, Apple has given its budget iPad some happy colors! In addition, the home button has been removed and Touch ID integrated into the power button. In addition, we also miss the headphone jack on this iPad. The front camera is also in a different place: it is now on the long side of the iPad. This is useful if you use the iPad as a laptop and want to make video calls.

These changes mean that the iPad 2022’s screen is slightly larger. The screen diagonal now measures 10.9 inches, just like the iPad Air. In addition, the iPad 2022 has a USB-c port and the cellular versions can also be connected to the 5G network. However, we are a bit shocked by the price of this ‘entry-level model’.

The iPad Pro 2022 with M2 chip

Are you looking back at Apple’s mini-event and you really don’t know where to look with all those iPads? Maybe the iPad Pro 2022 is something for you. This is the successor to the iPad Pro 2021 and the largest and fastest tablet from Apple. You can choose an 11-inch and a 12.9-inch version with this iPad Pro. There are also minor differences here.

The biggest innovation of the iPad Pro 2022 is the M2 chip. We also find this powerful chip in the MacBook Air 2022. You notice the speed when you start editing a video, for example. The Apple Pencil 2 also has a handy new feature. The new iPad Pro already recognizes this about 12 mm above the screen. For example, the tablet already displays options before you have touched the screen. Both the design and the screen have remained the same for the rest.

The prices of the new iPads of the mini-event

Both iPads will run on iPadOS 16. The iPad Pro 2022 can be ordered today. October 26th it will be on your doormat. The iPad 2022 will be in the shops on the same day from € 589 euros (64GB and Wifi). As expected, the iPad Pro models have also become a bit more expensive. These are the new prices.

• 11-inch iPad Pro 2022 (128 GB, Wi-Fi): 1069 euros
• 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2022 (128 GB, Wi-Fi): 1469 euros
