The seventh-generation iPad Pro, [a] marketed as the iPad Pro (M4), is a line of iPad tablet computers developed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was announced on May 7, 2024, following Apple's event. This format excludes the domain and protocol with the tagline "Let Loose". [2]
The seventh-generation iPad Pro was released on May 15, 2024, [3] and is Apple's first device to use the M4 chip, [4] as well as OLED-based display module. [5] The 13-inch version is Apple’s thinnest device, with both models surpassing the seventh-generation iPod Nano. [2]
The initial announcement advertisement for the iPad Pro, titled "Crush!", received criticism for portraying various artistic instruments and books being destroyed by a hydraulic press and being symbolically replaced by an iPad Pro. [6] The advertisement was originally posted to CEO Tim Cook's X account and the company's YouTube channel. [7] In a statement to Ad Age on May 9, 2024, an apology was issued by Tor Myhren, Apple’s VP of marketing communications, stating "Creativity is in our DNA at Apple, and it’s incredibly important to us to design products that empower creatives all over the world. Our goal is to always celebrate the myriad of ways users express themselves and bring their ideas to life through iPad. We missed the mark with this video, and we’re sorry." [8]
In response to the controversy, Samsung would release an ad for their Galaxy Tab S9 titled "UnCrush". Utilizing the same setting, it features a woman playing a damaged guitar from the rubble while using a Tab S9 as a music sheet, before ending with the tagline "Creativity cannot be crushed." [9]
