Do you think Apple has a strange action this year , but it didn't let iPad release it with iPhone at the autumn press conference. According to the leak, due to the continuous optimization of the "pre-desk dispatch" function of Apple's multi-tasking front desk, the launch delay has also been delayed, and iPadOS 16 has been postponed to October, all of which are reminded that this year's high-end tablet series iPad Pro has not received enough attention. However, the good news is that according to the leaked information, Apple will "quietly" update the iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch this month. The biggest upgrade feature of the two is that it uses the Apple M2 processor platform .

Does your tablet really need M2 performance?
The iPad Pro 2021 tablets currently on sale use both Apple's self-developed M1 processor chip , and their maximum memory on the tablet is only 8GB. It should be noted that on tablets, the new M2 platform is more important than expanding the energy consumption ratio. The M2 chip currently supports the maximum LPDDR5 24GB memory, with a transistor count of up to 20 billion and a bandwidth of 100GB/s. However, there are very few large-scale games on iPad OS, and the 3D software is not sound. If you buy it for 4k editing, you will be able to perceive it. If is "productivity before buying, after buying, iQiyi " performance is a bit wasteful of . After all, the A13 processor can smoothly decode and watch 4K movies.
The new iPad Pro M2 version focuses on pre-stage scheduling function:
Previously, Apple officially stated that the "pre-stage scheduling" function only supports M1 version, and is currently compatible with iPad Pro 2018, which is the A12X platform. This means that changing the code of this function can still give most current iPads a productivity. The Stage Manager (pre-desk dispatch) function is: like Windows system, allowing you to quickly switch various apps in the front desk, but currently only 4 windows are open.

However, there are still many bugs in the pre-desk dispatch function at present. , for example, the probability of the four taskbars next to it disappear , and it is impossible to switch back with gestures. I think this is also the reason why iPhone OS 16 was released in September and iPad OS 16 was postponed to October.
But at present, I don’t think iPad Pro is a perfect product either. After all, the 12.9-inch 256G costs more than 8,000 yuan, and the black edge looks really big at the naked eye. Moreover, it is a big regret that the tablet itself does not have a telephoto with a camera. You can buy an iPhone 14+ an iPad mini6 for more than 8K. The iPad Pro 2022 that will be updated is more suitable for friends who are rich and wealthy.
