Feeling stuck for the right tool? Simply squeeze the Pencil Pro, and it will magically bring up your chosen implement.
Precision is key, and Apple has you covered. The built-in gyroscope ensures you have complete control over your digital pen, allowing for those oh-so-satisfyingly perfect lines and strokes. We’ve all misplaced our pencils at some point, but fear not! The Pencil Pro integrates with the Find My app, so you can locate your lost masterpiece-maker with ease.
Just like its predecessor, the Pencil Pro charges magnetically on the side of your iPad, keeping it conveniently close and topped up. The price tag for this artistic marvel? A cool $129, and it’ll be available to snatch up next week.
Magic Keyboard: Lighter, Sleeker, and Ready to Work
The Magic Keyboard has shed some weight and bulk to seamlessly integrate with the new, thinner iPad Pro. Available in two colors to match your new Pro perfectly, it also boasts a brand new function key row for added functionality.
Multitasking on the go? No problem! The aluminum trackpad offers a smooth and responsive experience, making navigating your iPad Pro a breeze. Size matters and Apple caters to both preferences. The Magic Keyboard comes in 11-inch and 13-inch versions, with the smaller starting at $299 and the larger at $349.

But wait, there’s more! The display takes a monumental leap forward with the introduction of Apple’s innovative Tandem OLED technology. This translates to a stunning viewing experience with unmatched clarity, color accuracy, and contrast. Both the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models will flaunt this revolutionary display.
The camera also gets a well-deserved upgrade, perfect for capturing documents with exceptional detail. The new iPad Pro models will be available next week, with the 11-inch starting at a tempting $999 and the 13-inch starting at $1299.

Apple listened! The front-facing camera has been relocated to the landscape edge, a much-requested change for video conferencing enthusiasts. Immerse yourself in your favorite shows or music with the addition of spatial audio on the new iPad Air.
Gone are the days of boring color choices. Apple introduces vibrant new blue and purple options, alongside the existing starlight and space gray finishes, allowing you to express your personality through your tech.
The new iPad Air seamlessly integrates with the Magic Keyboard, making it a true productivity powerhouse. Storage options receive a boost too, with the addition of 512MB and 1TB capacities.
The 11-inch iPad Air starts at a very reasonable $599, while the larger 13-inch version starts at $799. Both will be available for purchase next week.
