Reports indicate that Apple might update its iPad Pro design next year. A set of leaked renders from the Chinese website, MyDrivers reveal changes in overall appearance and a display notch.
According to the renders, iPad Pro 2022 is expected to feature a similar design as the iPhone 13, with a triple camera setup, slimmer bezels, and a display notch for the selfie camera.
The report suggests that the iPad Pro 2022’s rear camera could come equipped with a LiDAR sensor, allowing for a better augmented reality experience, albeit there is no word on the actual camera specifications. The device is expected to launch in two sizes – 11-inch and 12.9-inch, where the company will switch the LCD panel of the former with a miniLED display.
The new iPad Pro could run on the latest M2 chipset and feature storage sizes up to 2TB. Apple is also said to be testing a MagSafe-like wireless charging system that would allow the iPad Pro to charge other devices.
Meanwhile, in a Bloomberg newsletter, Mark Gurman also noted that Apple could compete with Amazon by introducing a larger, 15-inch iPad. The device could serve as a tablet as well as a smart home display, positioned to work with speakers from the brand. However, at the moment it is not clear if Apple does plan to introduce a bigger iPad. The newsletter indicates Apple is testing bigger screen sizes ranging from 14 to 16-inches but that’s no guarantee that a bigger iPad will eventually make its way to customers.
