iPad
Since its unveiling on January 27, 2010, the iPad has shaped the tablet category like no other device. Today the family ranges from the compact iPad mini through the standard iPad and the mid-sized iPad Air to the iPad Pro with M chip, ProMotion OLED display and Thunderbolt – complemented by accessories like Apple Pencil Pro, Magic Keyboard and Smart Folio. The iPadOS operating system brings productive workflows to the tablet through Stage Manager, external display support, multitasking windows, Apple Intelligence and deep integration with iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch and Vision Pro – all without losing the original touch-first character.
