Recently, according to the latest news from the whistleblower LeaksApple Pro, Apple is preparing to launch three iPads equipped with M2 chips, at least one of which will not be available until 2023. The outside world speculates that the "late" should be the 14.1-inch new version with the largest number in history.
In addition to the configuration, the whistleblower also exposed the price of the new iPad Pro, of which the 11-inch and 128GB version start at US$799 (approximately RMB 5345.1); the 12.9-inch and 128GB version start at US$1,099 (approximately RMB 7352), which is basically the same as the pricing of the current iPad Pro. The corresponding domestic versions are 6,199 yuan and 8,499 yuan respectively. Unfortunately, the 11-inch version is likely to not have the Mini LED screen support.

Of course, the new version of iPad Pro will provide a 5G cellular network version, but it is estimated that Apple's self-developed 5G baseband has not yet been used, and the price will definitely increase by about 1,000 yuan.
As for the 14.1-inch iPad, it is said that the starting capacity is adjusted to 256GB, and the starting price will be $1,400 (approximately RMB 9,365.7), and it will also be equipped with a Mini LED display panel. However, there are also reports from the outside world that the positioning of this ultra-large screen iPad may be lower than that of the iPad Pro. In the end, it depends on how Apple defines this ultra-large tablet. . But in Xiao Lei's opinion, the size of this tablet is larger than that of MacBook, and the usage scenarios may be relatively limited.
In addition, according to the rendering design released earlier, iPad Pro may also adopt a notch screen for narrower bezels, and it is a horizontal notch screen. I don’t know how many patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder will be angry.

According to current news, Apple's sixth-generation iPad Pro has larger running memory and higher storage specifications, and even uses the latest M2 chip and wireless charging. The upgrade range is "the largest in history". If the price remains unchanged, Xiao Lei believes that the credibility may not be very high. Recently, news of the price increase of the entire iPhone 14 series has been flying. Due to the increase in costs such as manpower, raw materials, chips, etc., iPad Pro should also increase its price.
The sixth generation iPad Pro is expected to be launched with the iPhone 14 series this fall. Now iPadOS 16 has launched "foreground scheduling". The running memory is too small and the configuration is too old to experience this new feature. Xiao Lei suggested that if you want to experience the "complete" iPadOS 16, it is better to buy the latest one.
