Apple plans greatest iPad Pro upgrade since 2018

Further Reading 2022 iPad Pro review: Impressively, awkwardly quickly and capable Things get a little bit more interesting beyond the chip upgrade, nevertheless. Gurman claims the new iPad Pro will deliver with an OLED display screen, the exact same tech seen in the exceptional screens on iPhones. OLED uses deeper blacks, much better contrast, and richer color than the LCD screens presently found in Apple’s iPad and MacBook lineups.

Gurman composes that the OLED screens are “crisper and brighter” than LCD screens, which seems a little odd– crispness has to do with resolution, which has little to do with the type of screen included. The iPhone 14 Pro’s OLED screens are significantly brighter than the LCD screens found on most iPads, but the 12.9-inch iPad Pro’s Mini LED screen is about equally as intense as the OLED on an iPhone 14 Pro.

Apple previously brought Mini LED tech to the largest iPad design, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. But even that can’t quite touch a fantastic OLED screen, and it has not been available in any of the smaller tablets Apple offers.

Gurman writes that the brand-new iPad Pro will can be found in 11- and 13-inch sizes. The existing iPad Pro is readily available in 11.2- and 12.9-inch variants, so you may presume Gurman is simply rounding here, but he goes out of his way to note that 13 inches is different from the current 12.9, so this recommends a small redesign.

In the past, Apple has actually handled to somewhat increase screen sizes in its refreshes without changing the device dimensions much by recovering area previously taken up by the bezels along the edges. Something closer to a real edge-to-edge screen might describe the 13-inch iPad Pro, however it does not discuss why the smaller sized iPad’s screen would in fact get slightly smaller. We’ll need to wait to see how these sizes work out.

Gurman’s report: the iPad Pro redesign is said to bring with it a major redesign of the Magic Keyboard peripheral. The report claims that “the brand-new accessory makes the iPad Pro look even more like a laptop than the existing setup and includes a larger trackpad.”Other than cost, the small trackpad was the only significant complaint I had about the iPad Pro’s Magic Keyboard when I evaluated it back in 2020 , so this redesign could be welcome. Gurman doesn’t specify whether the brand-new iPads will continue to support the old Magic Keyboard peripheral, though, so that’s something to watch on if you’re considering updating. Three hundred dollars is a great deal of money to invest in something that will not work with your next maker, after all. The new iPad Pro is slated to arrive in either the spring or fall of 2024, leaving a lot of

breathing room for brand-new iPhone, Watch, and Mac devices through the end of 2023.
