Some information about the upcoming iPad Pro line has surfaced on Twitter, but as with all rumors, it’s important to take them with a grain of salt. According to tipster Majin Bu, the next iPad Pro line could consist of three models, with two of them featuring OLED panels. The 11-inch and 12.9-inch models will be the first iPads ever to have an OLED display. This part of the tip seems plausible, as it has been a long-standing rumor. However, Majin Bu also mentioned a third model with a 14.1-inch mini-LED display. A mini-LED display offers many of the same features as an OLED display, but at a lower cost. It provides a brighter display, deeper blacks, and a high contrast ratio without the risk of screen burn-in.
While this rumor sounds exciting, it’s important to remember that not all tipsters are always accurate. It’s worth noting that in 2022, the co-founder and CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants mentioned that Apple was working on a 14.1-inch iPad Pro model for 2023, which could have been delayed and rescheduled for a 2024 release.
Majin Bu also shared that all three iPad Pro models will be powered by a new M3 chip with 8GB RAM and will support a new Apple Pencil with interchangeable magnetic tips. Additionally, a new aluminum Magic Keyboard with two USB-C ports and MagSafe for connecting to the tablets might be introduced. The tipster included a disclaimer in his tweet, saying, “I’m not sure of the source so I can’t take this information too seriously but I think it’s okay to report it anyway.”
This year, Apple did not release any new or refreshed iPad models, so it’s likely that the company will have new offerings to make up for the absence next year. While these rumors paint an exciting picture of what’s to come, it’s essential to approach them with caution until Apple officially announces its new iPad Pro lineup.
