At the autumn press conference in early September, Apple brought a number of new products such as iPhone 14 series, Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch Ultra, and AirPods Pro 2, but the iPad series did not appear.
For friends who are looking forward to the new iPad, good news is now coming. According to foreign media MacRumors, Apple will officially release the brand new iPad series in the past few days - both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be updated.
As expected, the 2022 iPad Pro will use the M2 series chip (it has been implemented on the previous new MacBook Air). Judging from the current news, the M2 chip will be built based on TSMC's second-generation 5nm process, and the number of transistors will reach 20 billion, an increase of 25% (previously 16 billion).
8 core CPU consists of 4 high-speed cores + 4 energy efficiency cores, and the M2 GPU has also been added 2. The computing performance and graphics processing performance will be greatly improved. It is very useful for users who want to buy iPad as a productivity tool, especially those who need to perform a lot of graphics design and video editing.
In the previous iPad Pro series, the 12.9-inch version used the latest mini LED screen, while the 11-inch version was an LCD screen (which is the official Liquid retina XDR screen). Relatively speaking, the latter has a lower display brightness and its dynamic range is not as good as the 12.9-inch version, which has a difference in screen display effect.
And in the 2022 iPad Pro series, such product positioning may continue. Monitor analyst Ross Young also said in response to netizens' questions that the 11-inch iPad Pro uses mini-LED "will not happen". Therefore, if you want a more extreme screen effect, you can only choose the 12.9-inch version.
But even so, the 11-inch version of iPad Pro still has first-class display effects, including 120Hz refresh rate, P3 color gamut, original color display effects, etc., and it is also a good screen.
In addition, these two iPad Pros are expected to support MagSafe wireless charging. It is worth mentioning that Apple is designing an iPad "peripheral" - combining it with HomePod, allowing the iPad and it to form a set of smart speakers with screens, and developing more practical ways to make this combination achieve 1+12 effects.
However, this solution is expected to be implemented next year and will not be released with the new version of iPad Pro.
In addition, there is no news for the basic iPad series for the time being, and this press conference should also be in the form of a press release and will be directly on the official website.
