Apple may launch 16-inch iPad Pro next year

Apple began to promote the iPad as a computer many years ago. Judging from the changes in the new machine in recent years and the optimization of iPadOS, the iPad Pro has indeed been very productive at this stage. Of course, as a computer, the current maximum size of 12.9 inches is still not big enough, so there is news that Apple will launch a 16-inch iPad Pro next year.

According to The Information, Apple may launch a set of iPad Pros with a large screen size in the fourth quarter of next year, although this is not the first time such rumors have surfaced. Previously, Mark Gurman speculated that Apple would have a 14-15-inch iPad Pro.

In this generation of iPadOS 16.1 system, Apple has added the multitasking management function of front-end scheduling, which makes the iPad Pro very close to the experience of macOS. In addition, the iPad Pro and the MacBook Pro now share the M-series chips, which are also leveraged in terms of performance, although Apple will not say that the iPad Pro will replace or integrate the MacBook Pro. But if there is a 16-inch iPad Pro with a large screen, it should be very attractive for workers like painting and video editing.

In fact, from this year’s iPad Pro only a small upgrade to the M2 chip, it can also be guessed that Apple will have a big move next year. In addition to this 16-inch giant-screen iPad Pro, it is also rumored that Apple will launch a 14.1-inch iPad Pro, which is also equipped with a mini LED panel + ProMotion technology. These two larger screens are likely to form a new size option for the future iPad Pro, which just corresponds to the current 13-inch, 14-inch, and 16-inch options for the MacBook Pro.
