Is the iPad Pro M4 overkill?

As rumors foretold, Apple has revamped the iPad Pro with an M4 chip, tandem OLED screen and a thinner case. There’s also a new Magic Keyboard that should deliver a more MacBook-like typing experience! In this week’s episode, Cherlynn and Devindra discuss how Apple is shining a new light on tablets (which also includes the new iPad Air models) and reworking its vision of mobile computing. Does anyone really need the iPad Pro today? And could it be more compelling if iPadOS improves its multitasking capabilities? Also, we discuss the launch of Google’s new mid-range phone, the Pixel 8a.
