The iPad Pro could get even spiffier this year.
Reports have surfaced stating that the iPad Pro units could see hefty updates, including a powerful M2 processor.
Bloomberg’s Mark German made a recent comment in his Power On newsletter that he expects an update to the lineup to occur in the fall. German suggests that the new iPad Pro is likely to drop between September and November of this year.
Updates to the iPad Pro lineup generally occur every 14 to 16 months, making this timeline credible.
The M2, an upgrade from the M1, is still expected to have an 8-core CPU. However, speed and efficiency improvements are expected, thanks to TSMC’s 4 nanometer process. The chip is expected to have 9 and 10 core GPU options, which is improved from the 7 and 8 options in the M1.
It’s also thought that the new iPad Pro could feature MagSafe charging. Other rumors have focused on design changes such as a glass back. There are also rumors that mini LED backlighting is expected in the 11-inch iPad Pro.
Stay tuned for additional changes as they become available.
