First of all, from the announcement about 'iPad'.

The iPad, which has been released in various models, has a huge display and a feeling of size that is easy to carry, and can play various roles such as becoming a game console or a terminal for movie editing.

This is largely due to the iPad OS, which is a simple dedicated OS optimized for touch operations.

Another strength of the iPad ecosystem is the presence of over one million specially designed applications.

Such an iPad has grown 40% year-on-year, making it a device loved by more and more users.

A new, more affordable 'iPad' has been added to the iPad series.

At the heart is the same 'A13 Bionic' as the iPhone 11 series.
