After the triumph of the iPad Pro 2021, will the iPad Pro 2022 bring new enhancements, and should iFans anticipate its purchase?

In 2021, Apple introduced the groundbreaking iPad Pro 2021 with the powerful M1 chip and high-quality Mini-LED display for the 12.9-inch version. As the year comes to a close, anticipation builds for the next generation of Apple's tablet - the iPad Pro 2022. Should iFans invest in the iPad Pro 2022?

Here are some insights gathered about the upcoming iPad Pro believed to be on the horizon. Let's dive right in!

1. Should You Buy the iPad Pro 2022 - Will There Be Design and Display Changes?

Currently, there's only one report suggesting that the iPad Pro 2022 will feature a new design. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in June, the next iPad Pro might have a glass back to support wireless charging. Moreover, Apple may also be experimenting with reverse wireless charging to allow the iPad Pro to charge other devices.

Additionally, Apple is also rumored to be testing a MagSafe-like wireless charging system for the iPad Pro. In December 2021, Gurman once again confirmed that Apple will introduce an iPad Pro with a glass back next year.

This will elevate the overall elegance of the device and bring it more in line with the design language of recent iPhone generations.

• iPad Pro 2022 will feature a glass back integrating MagSafe wireless charging.

Regarding the display, Apple may still maintain two different sizes: 11 inches and 12.9 inches. The upgrade here will be more significant for the 11-inch model, as Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes the company will transition from an LCD to a Mini-LED display, as it did with the predecessor iPad Pro 2021 12.9-inch.

If true, users can expect a crisp display space with the most advanced display technology even on any version.

• The new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro will feature OLED displays with self-adjusting refresh rates.

2. Powerful Upgrades Expected in Processor and Memory

After surprising everyone with the addition of the M1 chip on the iPad Pro 2021 lineup, it's highly likely that the company will equip the next version of this chip for the upcoming iPad Pro 2022. Therefore, it's probable that the new iPad will use the M2 chip, expected to debut alongside the MacBook Air 2022.

Some users speculate that Apple might equip the new iPad Pro with either the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip, although there are no rumors related to this possibility. And it's unlikely that the company will introduce a variant of the 'A15X/Z' chip for these tablets as Apple has been heavily promoting the 'dominant' power of its M series chips for Macs.

Regarding internal memory, Apple is likely to maintain similar options to the iPad Pro 2021 lineup. This means that the iPad Pro 2022 will also provide users with internal memory options of 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB.

As Apple has phased out 64GB models on iPhones and all new Macs start at 256GB, it's highly probable that the iPad Pro 2022 will feature 256 GB storage capacity as the lowest option instead of 128 GB.

• Apple will introduce 3nm chips in 2022, equipped for the first time in iPads.

3. Enhanced 5G, Battery, and New Accessories

While there are no rumors about the 5G capability or battery life of the iPad Pro 2022 compared to the 2021 models, it's likely that Apple will equip the new iPad with enhanced support for more 5G bands, while still advertising them as having 'all-day battery life'.

Moreover, if the iPad Pro 2022 lineup supports MagSafe wireless charging, Apple is likely to introduce a range of accessories compatible with this technology for them.

When Will iPad Pro 2022 be Released?

Currently, it remains uncertain when Apple will unveil the iPad Pro 2022. While Gurman says 'in 2022,' analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also only provides a timeframe of 'around 2022'.

If the plan mirrors that of 2021, they could introduce the new iPad Pro models at the spring event next year, likely to be held in March or April.

What Will be the Price of iPad Pro 2022?

This year, Apple raised the price of the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9-inch model by 100 USD due to the addition of the Mini-LED display. Therefore, it's highly likely that the 2022 iPad Pro 11-inch model will also see a 100 USD price increase. Thus, below are the expected prices for each variant:

iPad Pro 11-inch 2022 model Wi-Fi only version

• 128 GB: 899 USD
• 256 GB: 999 USD
• 512 GB: 1,199 USD
• 1 TB: 1,599 USD
• 2 TB: 1,999 USD

iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2022 model Wi-Fi only version

• 128 GB: 1,099 USD
• 256 GB: 1,199 USD
• 512 GB: 1,399 USD
• 1 TB: 1,799 USD
• 2 TB: 2,199 USD

Conclusion

While these are rumors about the upgrades of the new iPad Pro, they are also predicted by many renowned analysts. This year, Apple has satisfied users with truly worthwhile upgrades on the iPad Pro 2021, so Apple enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting these upgrades on the next generation iPad Pro 2022.
