After months upon months of rumors and guesses, Apple finally released the M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air to the public this week after it unveiled them for the first time at the Let Loose event a week prior. There's a lot to like about both lineups, not least the addition of a huge new 13-inch iPad Air for those of us who like big screens and cannot lie, but also don't want to spend iPad Pro money to get them. The OLED display and speedy M4 chip on the iPad Pro garnered lots of attention, too.
But Apple made an interesting claim when showing off the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro specifically, and it's one that spawned a ton of headlines. That particular tablet, the most expensive that Apple has sold and one that starts at an eye-watering $1,299, also happens to be the thinnest device that it's ever made as well. It's just 5.3mm thick if you ignore that camera bump, and that makes it thinner than the iconic iPod nano. That's thin. Very thin indeed.
