Apple is Working on a Revamped iPad Pro
Apple is reportedly working on a brand new version of the iPad Pro; however, you’re going to have to wait until 2024 to see it.
In his weekly Power On newsletter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman reported today that the iPad Pro is getting its first major overhaul in the past 5 years next year. The iPad Pro models, currently code-named J717, J718, J720, and J721 will all use M3 chips and will have OLED displays, the same screens that Apple has used on the iPhone since the launch of the iPhone X in 2017.
According to Gurman, the new tablets will be available in both 11 and 13-inch sizes and will possibly have a revamped Magic Keyboard that will include a larger trackpad and will make using the tablet a bit more like using a traditional laptop.
Gurman notes that iPad sales have stalled across the company’s product line, in part because the tablets haven’t seen very many major updates with recent releases, causing potential customers to wait on upgrading their devices.
Tablet sales across manufacturers have slowed post-pandemic. An updated product line has a chance of capturing some of those customers.
Apple’s next big announcements are expected to come on September 12 when we expect to see a new iPhone as well as a new Apple Watch. Pre-orders for the devices are expected to go on sale September 15, and then the devices are expected to arrive on September 22 — at least as long as the current prevailing rumor comes true.
The newest version of the iPhone is expected to swap the notch for a dynamic island across all models, charge via USB-C, and include a smaller bezel than previous models.
