Apple is reportedly getting ready to give its iPad Pro line a big upgrade. The most notable change could be the introduction of OLED displays. This switch could make the tablets a bit thinner than before, suggests a new report.
According to details from 9to5Mac, the redesigned OLED iPad Pro will be over 1mm thinner than the current models. For reference, the existing 12.9-inch iPad Pro measures 6.4mm thick, while the redesigned version could be as thin as 5mm.
The 11-inch OLED iPad Pro is also projected to have a thinner profile at 5.1mm compared to 5.9mm of its predecessor. Additionally, both models could be slightly taller and wider than their current counterparts.
Additionally, there’s word that Apple will introduce two sizes of iPad Air for the first time. One will be similar to the current model, while the other might be as big as the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the same dimensions and screen size.
Here are the estimated dimensions for Apple’s upcoming tablets:
- 11-inch iPad Pro (current): 247.6 mm x 178.5 mm x 5.9 mm
- 11-inch iPad Pro (new): 249.7 mm x 177.5 mm x 5.1 mm
- 12.9-inch iPad Pro (current): 280.6 mm x 214.9 mm x 6.4 mm
- 12.9-inch iPad Pro (new): 281.5 mm x 215.5 mm x 5.0 mm
- 12.9-inch iPad Air (new): 280.6 mm x 214.9 mm x 6.0 mm
Beyond the OLED display upgrade, Apple might incorporate MagSafe technology into the iPad Pro lineup for the first time.
The updated tablets are also likely to be powered by Apple’s new M3 chip, built on a 3nm architecture, potentially leading to improved performance and battery efficiency.
While it’s unclear when exactly these new models will launch, some reports suggest the OLED iPad Pro could debut as early as next month.
