Should you consider purchasing the iPad Pro 2022? Source: Apple-insider.In 2021, Apple introduced the powerful iPad Pro 2021 with the M1 Silicon chip and high-quality Mini-LED display for the 12.9-inch version. As usual, as we approach the new year, users are eagerly anticipating the next generation of tablets from Apple - the iPad Pro 2022. So, should iFans buy the iPad Pro 2022?
Below are some insights I've gathered about the upcoming iPad Pro that Apple is rumored to unveil. Let's dive in!
1. Should you buy the iPad Pro 2022 - Will there be changes in design and display?
The iPad Pro 2022 may feature a glass back version. Source: 9to5mac.Currently, there's only one report suggesting the iPad Pro 2022 will have a new design. According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman in June, the next iPad Pro might feature a glass back to support wireless charging. Not only that, but Apple could also be experimenting with reverse wireless charging to allow the iPad Pro to charge other devices.
Additionally, Apple is reportedly 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 would elevate the overall sophistication of the device and bring it more in line with the design of recent iPhone generations.

The upgrade here will be more notable for the 11-inch model, as Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes the company will switch from an LCD to a Mini-LED display, as it did with the predecessor, the iPad Pro 2021 12.9 inch.
If true, users can expect a crisp display with the most advanced screen technology even on any version.
- The new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro will feature OLED displays with self-adjusting refresh rates.
2. Significant Improvements Expected in Processor and Internal Memory
After surprising everyone with the addition of the M1 chip to the iPad Pro 2021 lineup, Apple is likely to equip the upcoming iPad Pro 2022 with the next iteration of this chip. Therefore, it's highly possible that the new iPad will use the M2 chip, rumored to debut alongside the MacBook Air 2022.

It's also unlikely that the company will introduce an 'A15X/Z' chip variant for these tablets as Apple has been touting the 'powerhouse' capabilities of its M series chips for its Macs.

Since Apple has phased out 64GB models on the iPhone and all new Macs start at 256GB, it's highly probable that the iPad Pro 2022 will feature 256 GB of storage capacity in its base model instead of 128 GB.

3. 5G, Battery, and New Accessories

Moreover, if the iPad Pro 2022 lineup supports MagSafe wireless charging, Apple is likely to release a range of accessories compatible with this technology for them.
When Will iPad Pro 2022 Be Released?
The company may unveil the new iPad at the launch event in March or April. Source: 9to5macCurrently, it remains quite vague when Apple will launch the iPad Pro 2022. While Gurman says 'in 2022,' analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also only gives a timeframe 'around 2022'.
If the plan mirrors that of 2021, they could introduce the new iPad Pro models at next year's spring event, 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 has raised the price of the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9-inch model by $100 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 price increase. Here are the estimated prices for each variant:

- 128 GB: $899
