The long-rumored M2 chip is also expected to come to the next series of iPad Pro. A new report suggests Apple could unveil its new tandem of premium tablets in late 2022.
Aside from the upcoming iPhones and Macs, the base model of Apple’s next-generation in-house SoC has been one of the company’s widely rumored products. The chipset, which many have been calling M2, is rumored to debut on the anticipated redesigned MacBook Air.
The latest edition of PowerOn newsletter by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggested the possibility for the M2 processor to also power the next slate of iPad Pro tablets. Gurman expects Apple to unveil the 2022 lineup of iPad Pro between September and November, which would be about a year and a half since the first M1-powered tablets were launched.
At this point, it is no longer surprising to see the M2 chip mentioned for almost every Apple product rumored to launch this year. However, the tech giant has, so far, done a good job at keeping the processor’s technical specifications under wraps. But considering that it opens an entirely new generation of Apple silicon, devices powered by this processor are likely to benefit from an increase in CPU and GPU performance.
Gurman also expects the upcoming iPad Pro tablets to offer wireless charging functions. They are also predicted to have a glass panel on the back, which could be in line with the addition of wireless charging.
This is not the first time that the next iPad Pros were reported to sport a glass back. But 9To5Mac reported last January that Apple had abandoned the all-glass back design due to durability concerns. At the time, the company had been reportedly testing prototypes with a glass layer over the Apple logo on the back. Sources for the same report claimed that the 2022 iPad Pro would also support MagSafe features.
Apple was previously speculated to adopt the mini-LED display technology for the smaller 11-inch iPad Pro. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued an updated prediction earlier this month, saying Apple is not expected to bring the mini-LED solution to any new product this year. That means the 12.9-inch premium tablet could still be the only iPad Pro with the Super Retina XDR display in 2022.
