At long last, Apple\u2019s newest iPad Pro and iPad Air are finally, officially real<\/a>. Preorders opened May 7th, with the former tablet starting at $999 and the latter at $599. Both models come in 11- and 13-inch sizes and are set to arrive in stores on Wednesday, May 15th. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

One of the most notable changes in the Pro models<\/a> is the switch from LCD-based displays to OLED, which could be the killer feature for creatives. But there\u2019s a lot more to like, such as the new M4 chip<\/a> that is said to offer 50 percent faster CPU performance than the prior model\u2019s M2 chip, plus a new 10-core GPU that supports mesh shading and ray tracing. The new iPad Pro also gets a slight camera shakeup, as it now only features two rear cameras (it ditches the ultra-wide from the previous model, but there\u2019s an improved adaptive flash). There\u2019s also a repositioned front-facing camera that now sits centered along the horizontal edge, which allows for less awkward video calls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The new iPad Air, meanwhile, now comes in two sizes<\/a>, both with Apple\u2019s M2 processor. The new models support the Apple Pencil hover feature that was once exclusive to the M2 iPad Pro, and both include Wi-Fi 6E support. Neither size features an OLED screen, but you still get a vibrant Liquid Retina XDR display, and the 13-inch model has improved stereo speakers (in landscape orientation) that supposedly \u201cdouble the bass\u201d of the 11-inch model. You can read our iPad Pro vs. iPad Air<\/a> breakdown for more granular details about how they differ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for accessories, both tablets support the new Apple Pencil Pro<\/a>, which builds on the second-gen magnetic version with built-in Find My, a squeeze gesture with haptic feedback, and a gyroscope sensor. The new iPad Pros have a refreshed Magic Keyboard<\/a> to match, now with a dedicated function row and a bigger trackpad with haptic feedback. (Those going for the iPad Air can use them with the original Magic Keyboards that are still available for older iPad Pro models.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Where to preorder the new iPad Air<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

The newest iPad Air will be available in an 11-inch configuration and a second 13-inch configuration that makes it easier for fans of the bigger display size to have it without paying the premiums for an iPad Pro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Right now, you can preorder the 11-inch iPad Air directly from Apple<\/a> and at Best Buy<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, and B&H Photo<\/a>. It starts at $599 for the base model with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage, though you can also jump to 256GB for $699, 512GB for $899, or 1TB for $1,099. You can get the 11-inch Air with 5G starting at $749 for a 128GB model, $849 for 256GB, $1,049 for 512GB, and $1,249 for 1TB. You can get the unlocked cellular model from Apple<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a>, and B&H Photo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 13-inch iPad Air is also available for preorder from Apple<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a>, and B&H Photo<\/a> and starts at $799 for a 128GB \/ Wi-Fi model. If you need more storage, you can get it with 256GB for $899, 512GB for $1,099, and 1TB for $1,299. The 5G-equipped model, meanwhile, starts at $949 for 128GB, $1,049 for 256GB, $1,249 for 512GB, and $1,449 for 1TB. You\u2019ll find it at the same crop of retailers: Apple<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, Best Buy<\/a>, and B&H Photo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Both sizes are available in blue, purple, starlight, and space gray. Apple and Best Buy are accepting trade-ins of older models that you can apply instantly to your order. Amazon and B&H Photo also let you trade devices in, but you\u2019ll have to wait until the inspection process concludes before receiving credit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
