The latest report released by Japanese media Mac Otakara stated that Apple plans to launch new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros in March. The overall design will be similar to the 2020 model, with only differences in some details.
Mac Otakara said that in order to carry the long-rumored Mini-LED screen and bring better display effects, the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is about 0.5mm thicker than the current model, while the 11-inch model will maintain the same thickness as the current model. . In addition, the rear camera module of the new iPad Pro will also reduce the degree of protrusion, a single camera lens will no longer protrude, and the number of side speaker holes has been reduced by two-thirds, and the position of the speaker holes will also occur.
Other rumors before this also said that the new iPad Pro will be equipped with an A14X processor, and the memory will also rise to 6GB. Last year's iPad Pro focused on the upgrade of LiDAR lidar scanners and ultra-wide-angle lenses. Although the processor was upgraded to A12Z, it did not bring much improvement.
If the mini-LED screen of this year's iPad Pro can bring a breakthrough display improvement, I believe it can attract more handheld 2018 models or older users to upgrade.
