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.

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.

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.
Starting memory will be from 256 GB. Source: 9to5macRegarding 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
The new iPad will support more 5G bands while still maintaining all-day battery life. Source: 9to5macWhile 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?
The company might unveil the new iPad at the launch event in March or April. Source: 9to5macCurrently, 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?
The price of this year's iPad Pro will increase slightly due to the inclusion of a newer, more premium display.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
