A New iPad Pro Could Still Be Coming This Fall
Apple could still be releasing the next iPad Pro this year. The company announced updates to the iPadOS at its Worldwide Developers Conference. iPadOS 16 will come with new multitasking features. The Stage Manager feature will make it easier for users to multitask on the device. The iPad has long been marketed as a great alternative to a computer, but until the addition of this feature, users weren't really able to use the iPad the same way as they do a computer. Now, users could choose to have an iPad and skip having a laptop or desktop.
Earlier this week, tipster Ross Young tweeted that Apple has a 14.1-inch iPad Pro in the works. The larger screen could also make this a viable alternative to a computer, especially with the addition of Stage Manager. The device isn't expected until 2023, though. It will likely come with the M2 chip, 4TB of storage and up to 32GB of memory. The base model could also come with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. All of this sounds very exciting, but users might not have to wait that long for a new iPad Pro. It just won't come with a larger screen yet.

Gurman already predicted a new iPad Pro device with MagSafe charging for this fall, so he's doubling down on that claim.
This could be welcoming timing as Gurman said he downloaded the iPadOS 16 to his 2020 iPad Pro with an A12Z Bionic chip and said multitasking doesn't work on his device. According to Apple, it should be compatible with all iPad Pro models, as well
