San Francisco | Apple unveiled a bevy of new iPads on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST), playing up the new tablets’ potential for artificial intelligence features as it races to catch up with rivals in the AI race.

The Cupertino, California, company said a new M4 chipset used in its Pro models contains a more powerful “neural engine” to drive features in third-party apps and its own software that rely on AI and machine learning. These engines have been part of Apple’s chips since 2017 but have grown considerably more powerful since then, the company said.
