This year there will probably be a new iPad Pro and it will be the best tablet that Apple will release. These are the expectations of the iPad Pro 2022!
iPad Pro 2022 expectations
There are now various rumors about the new iPad Pro 2022. We have put the different expectations together for you.
Design and display
According to Mark Gurman, Apple is going to tinker with the design of the iPad Pro 2022 this year. For example, the expectations are that the iPad Pro 2022 will get a glass back or glass logo to make wireless charging possible.
This charging is probably done with MagSafe, Apple’s magnetic charging technology. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 also support MagSafe. A magnetic ring on the inside of the iPhone ensures that the wireless charger clicks into place, as it were.
Last year, the iPad Pro got a mini LED screen for the first time, but that only applied to the larger 12.9-inch model. The smaller version still had to make do with the traditional LCD screen.
According to the first rumors of Ming-Chi Kuo, that would change this year, but they later abandoned that. Both Ming-Chi Kuo and Ross Young say the smaller iPad Pro will still get an LCD screen to cut costs.
Processor and Storage
Last year, Apple put an M1 chip in the iPad Pro 2021. The 6th generation iPad Pro will probably get an improved version of this chip. This will probably be an M2 chip. This chip is faster than the M1, but lags behind the M1 Pro, M1 Max or M1 Ultra chips.
In addition, the amount of storage remains the same and you can again choose from the following iPad Pros.
- 128GB;
- 256GB;
- 512GB;
- 1TB;
- 2TB;
Apple has dropped the version with the least storage on many new products. That is why it is also possible that the cheapest iPad Pro will have 256GB storage.
Battery and new accessories
With the iPad Pro 2022, the battery life will probably improve. In addition, it becomes possible to charge your iPad with MagSafe. This charging works faster than with the iPhone.
There are no rumors of new accessories. But with a new MagSafe connector likely in the iPad Pro 2022, the Magic Keyboard and Smart Folio could get an update.
iPad Pro 2022 release
The iPad Pro 2021 and the iPad Pro 2020 appeared in the spring. But according to the latest rumors, we have to wait a little longer for the iPad Pro 2022. The first event has already passed and there was no mention of a new iPad Pro.
Still, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo have said that the new iPad Pro will be released in 2022. There are still a number of Apple events coming up this year: June will probably be dominated by new software, in September the eyes will be on the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8. That leaves October in which Apple often comes with a new event coming. We think this event will be all about new Macs and the iPad Pro 2022.
iPad Pro 2022 prices
Last year, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro became a hundred euros more expensive because of the mini LED screen. This year, the smaller 11-inch version doesn’t seem to get this screen type yet, so the price will likely remain the same for both versions. These are the prices we expect.
- 11-inch iPad Pro 2022 (128 GB, Wi-Fi): 899 euros
- 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2022 (128 GB, Wi-Fi): 1,219 euros
