The rumor mill has is that while Apple is expected to released a new 14-inch iPad Pro in early 2023, the company will release a new round of iPad Pro models in fall 2022, featuring the new M2 chip and wireless charging.
Per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and his Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, Apple is expected to announce new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro tablets in September or October.
Sources have also indicated that a new 14.1-inch iPad Pro is in the works that could arrive in early 2023. The rumor has Gurman’s backing as well as that of display chain analyst Ross Young.
Young claimed Apple is developing the new, larger iPad Pro to feature a miniLED display and ProMotion support.
Gurman has stated that the 2022 iPad Pro will feature Apple’s M2 processor. Apple is currently including its M1 processor in its latest iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro tablets.
He has also stated that the upcoming 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro units could feature the M2 chip. The refreshed models may also include a significant upgrade to the camera system. Gurman has also stated that he expects the new models to support wireless charging, though he didn’t specify if this would follow the MagSafe protocol or the universal Qi protocol.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
