The iPad Pro, announced at the event on May 7, 2024, is significantly thinner than previous iPad Pros, with the 11-inch model measuring just 5.3mm thin and the 13-inch model measuring just 5.1mm thin. These are even thinner than the iPod Nano, released in 2008, which was the thinnest iPod ever.

According to Bloomberg reporter and Apple expert Mark Gurman, in recent years Apple has focused on making new devices less 'thin' and instead focused on other enhancements, but the new iPad Pro marks a return to making devices thinner.

It has already been suggested that the lineup for the 'iPhone 17,' expected to be released in 2025, will be revised and a slim 'iPhone 17 Slim' will be released.
