9to5Mac covers rumors about four notable new features and improvements for the new iPad Pro rumored to be announced in October 2022.
Four rumors about the new iPad Pro
The new iPad Pro is rumored to be announced alongside the iPad (10th generation) at Apple’s October 2022 event.
Display sizes are expected to continue to be 12.9 inches and 11 inches.
Compatible with MagSafe charging
It is rumored that the new iPad Pro will have the Apple logo on the back panel made of glass and support MagSafe charging, but it is unknown if it will be the same format as the iPhone.
Display with mini LED backlight
Unfortunately, it seems that only the 12.9-inch model has a mini LED backlight in the new iPad Pro.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo cites the high manufacturing cost as the reason for not introducing a mini LED backlight to the 11-inch iPad Pro.
If you introduce a mini LED backlight to the 11-inch iPad Pro, it may be necessary to raise the selling price significantly.
Improved battery life
9to5Mac reports that the new iPad Pro will have improved battery life, such as when used in combination with the Magic Keyboard, allowing it to be used for a longer time than ever before.
Mounted chip changed from M1 to M2
The system-on-chip (SoC) installed in the new iPad Pro has been changed from M1 to M2, and performance improvement can be expected.
