Apple is set to unveil a significant leap in the world of artificial intelligence at its upcoming annual developers event (WWDC 2024) with the integration of an M4 chip into the iPad Pro tablet. This move, which comes ahead of the event on May 7th, demonstrates Apple’s commitment to pushing boundaries in technology.
During the event, new tablet models will be showcased, including an iPad Pro with an OLED panel and an iPad Air with a 12.9-inch screen. Additionally, new accessories such as the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard will be unveiled. With just one week remaining until the event, it appears that Apple is making bold changes to position itself at the forefront of AI technology.
According to Apple analyst Mark Gurman, this decision will give Apple a head start in AI capabilities before the arrival of Mac computers later in the year. The M4 chip features a new neural engine designed to power AI applications, giving teams the necessary support to leverage AI capabilities. This strategic move into AI devices sets the stage for Apple to provide a more detailed explanation of its AI strategy at WWDC 2024 in June. By equipping teams with the necessary support to leverage AI capabilities, Apple is paving the way for a seamless transition to iPadOS 18 and future innovations in AI technology.
