Apple to Launch M4 Chip in iPad Pro Before Mac, Disrupting Traditional Update Cycle

The upcoming iPad Pro is set to debut with the new M4 chip, potentially delaying updates for Mac Studio and Mac Pro models.

Apple's new iPad Pro will feature the M4 chip, marking the first time the device gets a new chip ahead of Macs.
The introduction of the M4 chip in iPads may lead to the absence of an M3 Ultra chip for Macs, affecting professional users.
OLED screens and a redesigned Magic Keyboard are expected in the new iPad Pro models, enhancing display and usability.
The M4 chip in the iPad Pro is designed to boost AI capabilities, positioning the device as Apple's first AI-powered tablet.
