We should have known that Samsung’s big event and device drops this week would spark a pricing war among the tech giants. Who wins those wars every time? You do, because prices are never more competitive. Case in point: Apple’s flagship iPad Pro, fueled by the powerful new M4 processor, is nearly back to its all-time low price at Amazon right now at just $899.
The 11-inch version of the iPad Pro comes with a robust 256GB of storage, 12MP front and back cameras for hi-def still and video photography, cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, all-day battery endurance, and an entrée into the world of Apple Intelligence, Apple’s groundbreaking AI features and enhancements.
Groundbreaking Tablet
Even beyond the introduction of Apple Intelligence — we’ll get to that — the M4 iPad Pro is an incredible step forward in tablet technology. Start with the Ultra Retina XDR display backed by a 10-core GPU, ProMotion, P3 wide color, and True Tone. Your streaming, gaming, and video calling have never looked clearer and brighter or had less lag. Combine that with the 12MP front and back cameras that support Center Stage for videoconferencing and 4K video shoots, and the M4 iPad Pro is a sleek, portable multimedia powerhouse.
“Sleek” may not do the design of the M4 iPad Pro justice — it’s a wafer-thin .21 inches thick and weighs under a pound, yet somehow packs up to 2TB of built-in storage and that seemingly inexhaustible battery in that space. Pair it with Apple’s redesigned Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro (both sold separately) and you have an ultra-lightweight, eminently portable device that can compete with many high-level laptops.
AI FTW: Meet Apple Intelligence
Apple’s latest generation of devices, including the M4 iPad Pro, are built around Apple Intelligence, Apple’s foray into the ever-expanding world of AI. Apple Intelligence is your built-in ghostwriter, creative consultant, search engine, and anything you ask it to be, all while protecting your privacy and data better than any AI module out there. Even Apple does not see or have access to your AI queries.
While the tech giants reengage in the pricing wars, our job is to sit back, maybe make some popcorn, and enjoy the benefits of the fallout. Today’s first wave includes this Amazon deal on the ultra-powerful M4 iPad Pro — get the 11-inch model with 256GB of storage today for just $899, just a few dollars more than its all-time low price from the 2024 holiday shopping season.
