Apple just wrapped up its second big presentation of the year on Oct. 16, and we heard all about the latest iPads and Macs. The iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 debuted at the event alongside the incredibly pixel-dense 5K iMac and the Mac Mini.

Now that the event is officially over, you will be able to watch the full presentation on Apple’s website. Apple hasn’t posted the video yet, but it should be up soon. You can also check out our full coverage of the event and the new products by clicking on the following links:

Thanks for joining us in our special Apple Event chat!

We all watched the Apple event live. We ranted and raved about what Apple had to say. A good number of our writers and staff joined in, as did some of you DT readers! It was a great experience and you can relive it below (for now). The chat is closed, though.

Apple’s new iPads look amazing, but there’s one big problem

Renders of the 11-inch and 13-inch models of the iPad Pro 2024.

After a year-long drought, Apple finally released some new iPads during its Let Loose event on May 7. Though it was just the iPad Air and iPad Pro models that were updated, we did get a 13-inch option for the iPad Air along with the standard 11-inch size, as well as iPad Pros with new OLED displays.

The iPad Airs now come equipped with an M2 chip inside, while the iPad Pros mark the debut of the new M4 chip. Exciting stuff, right? Unfortunately, as enticing as the hardware is, there is still one thing holding the iPad back -- and it's all Apple's fault.

Apple’s new iPad Pro keyboard is a bigger deal than you think

iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard.

A fresh crop of iPads is here, and this time around, Apple pulled out all the stops. The new models feature an OLED display, new Pro apps, the thinnest chassis ever, and a next-gen M-processor that has yet to appear elsewhere save for the new iPad Pros. Starting at $999, Apple is charging quite some premium for its new slates. But what truly stood out to me was the new Magic Keyboard — and for multiple reasons.

This one has a full row of function keys and a dedicated escape button. For a device that wants to compete with a laptop, the lack of an escape key was quite a bummer, as was the lack of quick-control function keys. Heck, the Magic Keyboard for the base iPad got that perk, so it was an overdue tweak for the flagship iPadss.

Which iPads does the Apple Pencil Pro work with? Here’s the full list

With four new iPad models announced during Apple’s “Let Loose” event, there was plenty for Apple fans to like. A new iPad Pro and iPad Air were announced, with 11-inch and 13-inch models for each. Apple also lowered the price of its 10th-generation iPad, giving it a very welcome $100 price cut.

With all the excitement over the new slates and the OLED iPad Pro, it was probably easy to overlook that accessories weren’t neglected during “Let Loose." There’s a new Apple Pencil Pro that works with several of the tablets that were newly announced, along with a new Magic Keyboard. But which iPads does the new Apple Pencil Pro work with? That's what we're here to clear up.
