Apple announced the new generation of iPad Pro tablets in two sizes 11 and 12.9 inches, which are powered by the latest M2 processor.
In addition to improved and faster performance, the new devices can detect the presence of the Apple Pencil near the screen, which means that user interface elements can expand and respond when the user approaches the screen with the smart pen.
