SHOCKING: This secret m4 ipad security feature keeps your camera and microphone more secure than ever - You Need To See This

The best USB-C hubs for iPad Pro.

Apple's iPad line-up just got a major overhaul, with the new iPad Air 6 are iPad Pro M4 both available in 11in and 13in sizes. The new Air packs the M2 chipset, while the Pro is noticeably thinner, lighter, has a stunning OLED screen, and has more power on tap with the M4 chipset. Both tablets also support the all-new Apple Pencil Pro, and move the front-facing camera to the side. The introduction of M4 was one of the biggest announcements from the event, but it turns out there's a secret privacy feature that Apple didn't tell us about.

Security researcher Guilherme Rambo uncovered this gem and spilled the beans on Mastodon. Apparently, the M4 iPad Pro is the first device to rock Apple’s new Secure Indicator Light (SIL) mechanism.
