The M4 iPad Pro might be marketed as Apple’s “first completely AI-powered gadget,” according to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg.
A little more than a week remains until Apple’s “Let Loose” iPad presentation, and the rumors that are circulating in the lead-up to the event are beginning to get fascinating. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the much-anticipated OLED iPad Pro might not arrive with the new M3 chip as we have all been anticipating, but rather with the next-generation M4 chip instead. According to what Gurman said in the Power On email that was distributed on Sunday, he is “hearing there is a strong possibility” that this will be the consequence. In addition, he claims that it will mark the beginning of Apple’s formal foray into artificial intelligence.
According to what Gurman stated, “I believe Apple will position the tablet as its first truly AI-powered device,” and that the company will promote each new product from that point forward as an artificial intelligence device. Taking this approach for the event that will take place on May 7 would pave the way for Apple to fully commit to artificial intelligence at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. This is a continuation of Gurman’s earlier allegations that Apple has been in discussions with OpenAI and Google to potentially utilize their artificial intelligence technology for new features that will be included in iOS 18.
Additionally, it is anticipated that the “Let Loose” product display would bring about advancements to the iPad Air as well as iPad peripherals such as the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil. It has been hypothesized by Gurman that the forthcoming Apple Pencil will incorporate haptic feedback.
