Macworld As a minimalist, I’ve long wanted to replace the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 I use for work with a slimmer and more portable iPad. Following the iPad Pro M5’s debut, I came across a heavily discounted M4 model.

With barely any gap between the iPad Pro M4 and M5, the cheaper option makes way more sense.

This upgrade will happen later in the year, but according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has its eyes on the iPad mini to be its next major product to make the transition. Apple first introduced OLED to the iPad Pro back in early 2024 with the M4 model, after bringing it to the iPhone lineup starting in 2017.

One of the most noticeable changes to the iPad Pro, starting with the M4 model, is the front-facing camera’s move to the landscape edge for easier video call capture. When the iPad is in landscape orientation, the camera now centers on you rather than capturing you from the left.

The best kind of follow-up article isn’t one that clarifies a topic that someone got wrong (although I do love that, especially when that “someone” isn’t me); it’s one that provides more context to a story that was incomplete.
