This fall, Apple is expected to deliver an iPad Pro with an M2 processor
iPad Pro: What Can We Expect
Apple last updated the iPad Pro in 2018, when it debuted a design with tougher edges, an edge-to-edge display, and a USB-C port, as the newsletter points out. This upgrade arrived a year and a half after the iPad Pro 10.5 was released in 2017.
This year, Apple is on pace to follow the same trend, as the most current generation of M1-equipped iPad Pros will be released in May 2021. Apple will spend anywhere between one year and four months and one year and six months preparing the next model, based on a projected debut date of September to November 2022.
Apple showed off its new iPad Air during its “Peek Performance” event earlier this month but left off an upgraded iPad Pro model. Gurman anticipated that the iPad Pro will include wireless charging and a glass back last year. This assertion is backed up by a storey from 9to5Mac, however, its sources believe Apple may have abandoned the glass back design in favour of an aluminium back with a glass Apple logo.
In addition, not much information regarding the supposed M2 chip, though, because Apple has yet to confirm it. The chip’s CPU, according to Gurman, will be somewhat quicker than its predecessor and will include the same eight-core design. The update means faster file-sharing and seamless performance. Apple is also expected to use the M2 in the next iPad Pro, as well as the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, and 24-inch iMac, all of which are expected to be released later this year. The speculated M2 processor will be included in the revamped MacBook Air, according to rumours, although Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes it will be replaced by the M1.
