Why the iPad Pro being Apple’s thinnest ever product matters

At Apple’s “Let Loose” event this week, new iPad models were announced, including the new iPad Pro. The new iPad Pro is Apple’s thinnest product ever, with the 13-inch model coming in at 5.1mm thick, and weighing only 0.98 pounds. For reference, the last iPod Nano was 5.4mm. The fact that we can now fit the power of a computer into a tablet thinner than an MP3 player is, to me, truly awe-inspiring.
