Earlier this week, we spotted several variants of the new iPad Pro and iPad Air in SIRIM’s database. Today, all of the models have been registered with SIRIM, so chances are, the new Apple products will be available for purchase in Malaysia very soon.

As shown in the images below, all 2024 iPad Pro and iPad Air models have appeared in SIRIM’s database. The cellular version of the 11-inch iPad Pro (A2837) is the last to be registered with the certification body yesterday on 23 May. Of course, the new Apple Pencil Pro has been listed with SIRIM as well.

Of the two tablets, the new iPad Pro is naturally the more powerful machine. The M4 chip under its hood features 4 performance cores with 6 efficiency cores, which is said to be 50% faster than M2 in the previous iPad Pro. The M4 is more power-efficient as well, being able to match the performance of the M2 at only half the power.

As for the updated iPad Air, it is powered by the Apple M2 chip. Apple says that this makes the tablet 50% faster than the M1 iPad Air; 3x faster when compared to the A14 Bionic model. Aside from that, both the iPad Air and iPad Pro support the Apple Pencil Pro too. A new squeeze gesture has been added to the stylus that can bring up a menu, and it has haptic feedback as well.

Now that all variants of the new iPad Pro and iPad Air have been registered with SIRIM, there’s a good chance both of them will be available for purchase in Malaysia very soon. If we were to take a guess, it’s entirely possible they will be sold here as early as next week, judging by the release timeline of previous Apple products after they have appeared in SIRIM’s database.
