Apple‘s rumored iPad Pro 2024 is expected to be a major overhaul, marking the first significant update to the product since 2018. But this new iteration seems to do more than just impress tech enthusiasts; it highlights Apple’s mission to blur the lines between tablets and laptops.
The rumors are saying that the new iPad will have a crisper & brighter display
The new iPad Pro models, expected to come in two sizes – 11-inch and 13-inch, are not just upping the game in display technology. Switching from mini-LED and LED to OLED, the new displays promise to be “crisper and brighter,” according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
What’s interesting, however, is Apple’s aim to enhance the iPad Pro’s capability to mimic a laptop. The Magic Keyboard, which turned heads when it launched in 2020, is also set for an update. The larger trackpad on the new Magic Keyboard suggests Apple wants you to forget you’re even using a tablet. The Magic Keyboard’s evolution seems to be in sync with the new 13-inch iPad Pro display—both are taking up more real estate but potentially without increasing the device’s overall footprint.
But this comes at a time when the top public concern seems to be: Is the hardware getting too powerful for the existing iPadOS? Some users are advocating for a shift to MacOS to make the iPad a true laptop replacement. While that remains a pipe dream, Apple appears to be tackling the issue from a different angle. By upgrading hardware like the Magic Keyboard and promising a new M3 chip, Apple seems to be nudging the iPad Pro closer to the laptop territory without changing its core identity.
With no confirmed updates till next spring or early summer, one can’t help but wonder: Is Apple’s hardware spree aimed at disguising an underwhelming OS, or is this a preview of more synergistic changes between the iPad Pro and MacOS? Either way, it’s clear that Apple wants the new iPad Pro to be more than just a tablet, making the upcoming reveal a pivotal moment in tech history.
And to skeptics who claim that hardware has been “overpowered for generations,” perhaps the 2024 iPad Pro will be the device that proves hardware and software can indeed advance hand in hand.
