The new iPad Pro features a stunning new thin and light design. The 11-inch model is just 5.3mm thin, and the 13-inch model is even thinner at a striking 5.1mm. iPad Pro is available in two gorgeous finishes — silver and space black — with 100% recycled aluminium enclosures. Both sizes feature the world’s most advanced display — a new breakthrough Ultra Retina XDR display with state-of-the-art tandem OLED technology.
The thin and light iPad Pro design is made possible by a new M4 chip, the next generation of Apple silicon, which features an entirely new display engine to enable the precision, colour, and brightness of the Ultra Retina XDR display. With a new CPU and the most powerful Neural Engine yet, the new iPad Pro is an outrageously powerful device for artificial intelligence, allowing users to perform AI-enabled tasks even faster.
Pixel 6 and iPhone 13: How smartphones are now clever enough to coach you at tennis
Artificial Intelligence (AI) now lives inside the brain of the latest smartphones, opening up intriguing new possibilities in the apps we use, from tracking your tennis swings to helping you sing your heart out.
The updated camera system on the new iPad Pro delivers even more versatility and allows users to shoot, edit, and share all on one device. The 12MP rear camera captures vibrant Smart HDR images and video with even better colour, improved textures, and detail in low light, and now features a new adaptive True Tone flash that makes document scanning on the new iPad Pro better than ever.
Now available in two sizes for the first time, the 11-inch iPad Air is super portable, while the 13-inch model provides an even larger display for more room to work, learn, and play. Both models deliver phenomenal performance and include advanced displays, with: an edge-to-edge Liquid Retina design; an anti-reflective screen coating; True Tone technology; high brightness; and support for P3 wide colour, resulting in content that looks remarkably rich and vibrant, and text that is sharp in all kinds of lighting conditions.
With a faster CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine in M2, the new iPad Air offers even more performance and is an incredibly powerful device for artificial intelligence. The front-facing Ultra-Wide 12MP camera is now located along the landscape edge for an even better video calling experience, along with Center Stage. With M2, iPad Air is also an amazing device for AI, allowing users to easily use intelligent iPadOS features such as Visual Look Up, Subject Lift or Live Text. The new iPad Air is available in new blue and purple finishes, along with starlight and space gray.
eSIM support comes to Vodafone UK smartphones
Put that paperclip away - this is why swapping SIM cards could be a thing of the past.
Cellular models of the new iPad Pro and iPad Air are activated with an eSIM, a more secure alternative to a physical SIM card.

With the thin and light design of iPad Pro and iPad Air, iPad is more portable than ever and allows users to conveniently stay connected with eSIM wherever they go.

What’s more, iPad Pro and iPad Air support WiFi 6E, which delivers 2x more performance than the previous generation, and cellular models with 5G, which enables users to access their files, communicate with peers, play games online, stream movies, and back up their data in a snap while on the go.
iPad Air and iPad Pro support Apple Pencil Pro, which brings powerful new interactions to the pencil experience, including a new sensor in the barrel that can sense a user’s squeeze and a custom haptic engine that delivers a light tap that provides confirmation when users squeeze, use double-tap or snap to a Smart Shape. An all-new thinner and lighter Magic Keyboard designed for the new iPad Pro features: a function row for quick access to convenient features like screen brightness; a magical floating design; gorgeous aluminium palm rest; larger trackpad with haptic feedback; and more. Both the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro are available for Vodafone Business customers.
