At the Apple autumn new product launch conference in September this year, Apple brought a new iPhone 14 series, AirPods Pro 2, Apple Watch and other new products, but new products such as iPad and Mac did not appear, and even iPad OS was postponed. According to foreign media reports recently, Apple will release the new generation of 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro in October.
M2 processor + notch screen?
Judging from the current news, the main upgrade point of this iPad Pro lies in the processor, that is, it is equipped with a brand new M2 processor. According to reports, Apple's M2 chip has 8 core CPUs, and its performance is 18% higher than M1 chip . With the same power consumption, the performance of the M2 chip is nearly twice as high as that of the 10-core PC processor. It is also equipped with a 10-core GPU, with a 35% increase in performance compared to the M1 chip, and supports multiple 4K and 8K video clips. At the same power consumption, the GPU performance of the M2 chip is 2.3 times faster than that of the 10-core PC processor.
But then again, for today's tablets, even the previous generation of M1 or even the previous generation of A12Z processors, the performance is already very terrifying, but for most people, the application scenarios of tablets are not able to fully exert all performance, so it is highly likely that the new iPad Pro will only face a small number of professionals.
In addition, there are also reports that the new iPad Pro will adopt a bang design to further narrow the screen bezels, and also maintain a unified design language with iPhone and Mac. However, considering that iPhone 14 Pro has used Lingdong Island this year, I personally think there will be no major changes in the appearance design. As for the design of Lingdong Island, it should be unlikely to move the Lingdong Island to the iPad. In terms of charging
, it is said that iPad Pro will also support Magsafe wireless charging function and reverse wireless charging through some form, that is, charge iPhone and AirPods after being fitted in a fixed position.
iPad OS may be the focus
In fact, in the field of the tablet market, Apple's biggest advantage is not the leading hardware configuration, but iPad OS. Apple naturally realizes this, so it can be seen that it has been mining the productivity of iPad OS in recent years. In the year, macOS Monterey paved the way for iPad and MacBook to collaborate. This year, the iPadOS update focuses more on the exploration of tablet's own functions.
For example, the pre-stage scheduling function on iPad OS, users can freely adjust the window size, quickly switch multiple APPs, and work in overlapping windows for the first time. If connected to an external screen, up to 8 APPs can be used on the iPad. This greatly improves productivity and moves closer to PC in terms of operation. Perhaps this is what Apple said before, your next computer, why bother to be a computer.
However, although new products have been released, from many aspects, Apple will not hold corresponding new product launch conferences, but will directly list these products on the official website.
