The star of the event will be a new iPad Pro with an updated design and crisper screen. It will be the first iPad to get an OLED display — organic light-emitting diode — the technology used in the iPhone since 2017.

The new iPads are poised to come in 11-inch and 12.9-inch screen sizes and may also include Apple’s first M4 processors. Those chips will help power artificial intelligence tasks — part of a broader push into AI that Apple will explain further in June.

The first time I remember watching Star Wars, it was on a local free-to-air television channel. And, if I also remember correctly, there wasn't regulation on the number of advertisement per hour back then. So, this Star Wars was so full of commercials that I gave up halfway.
The first Star Wars movie that I watched in cinema was The Phantom Menace.
