Ross Young, a display analyst, told MacRumors that Apple is working on a new line of iPad Pro models that will be released in the first quarter of 2019.
This is the first time that we have heard about the new sizes of the iPad Pro. With larger screen sizes planned for the iPad Pro models, we could see a slimmed down version of the device.
The mini-LED model of the iPad Pro has been reserved for the higher-end iPad Pro model at the moment. parity between the two iPad Pro models is expected to be restored with the next update.
The M2 chip was added to the 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models in October 2022. Apple does not have plans to release a mini-LED 11-inch iPad Pro, and will instead move directly toOLED for the smaller iPad, so it is not clear if there is an intermediate update coming ahead of the transition.
The technology is expected to be ready in 2024 according to sources like The Elec.
He said that the iPad Pro is no longer in the works after he walked that back. According to The Information, Apple is designing a 16-inch iPad, as well as being interested in bigger iPads.
