iPad Pro 2022: All You Need to Know

Now that it’s been a year since the launch of the iPad Pro 2021 lineup, we are waiting for a new upgraded iPad Pro this year. Last year, we saw massive improvements to the iPad Pro, like the M1 chip, thunderbolt port, 16GB RAM, and 1TB storage. These new features captivated the users and fans.

Apple recently released the iPad Air 5th generation with the same M1 chip as the Pro models at an affordable price. The new iPad mini also features a similar design to the Pro models and a powerful chip, the A15. This further blurred the line between the iPad Pro 2021 and other iPad models, making them very similar. Let’s see what new and unique features Apple will bring to the next iPad Pro to differentiate it from the other iPad models.

Update October 18: Apple’s iPad Pro 2022 is now official with the M2 chipset. The M2 chip brings a big performance upgrade to iPad Pro 2022 compared to the M1 chip. The new tablet is available in two sizes, an 11-inch variant and a larger 12.9-inch variant. The 11-inch iPad Pro features a 2388 x 1668 Liquid Retina LED-backlit display, while the 12.9-inch iPad Pro features a 2732 x 2048 Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED backlit.

iPad Pro 2022 Release Date

• The iPad Pro 2022 will likely be released on October 24, 2022.

Earlier, it was expected that the iPad Pro 2022 would launch at the iPhone 14 launch event on September 7, 2022, as we saw the release of the iPad 9th generation during the iPhone 12 launch event.

Apple has no consistent or specific timeline for releasing the iPads or the iPad Pro, unlike the iPhones, which are usually released in September. Moreover, there is no official information regarding the release date of the iPad Pro 2022. For instance, the iPad Pro 2021 was released in May 2021, and the iPad Pro 2020 in March 2020. However, the iPad Pro 2018 was launched in November 2018. This inconsistent launch pattern does not give any clear idea of when the iPad Pro 2022 might launch.

iPad Pro 2022 Specifications

Recent reports suggest the iPad Pro 2022 might feature a titanium alloy body for better durability. The display will be more scratch-resistant and have thinner bezels than its predecessor. A redesign seems impossible as of now.

As for the chip, we may see the Apple M2 chip and up to 2TB of storage in these pro iPads. The ‌M2‌ SoC packs an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, two more GPU cores than the M1. Apple has improved the efficiency and performance of the existing 5nm process for the M2 chip.

Other specifications include a rumored triple-camera setup, but we do not know what the third camera will be for. The third camera could be a telephoto lens. The iPad Pro models— 11-inch and 12.9-inch will feature a mini-LED display. Others suggest that the iPad Pro 2022 might feature an OLED LTPO display. Some rumors also suggest the addition of MagSafe to the iPad Pro 2022.

Here are the full rumored specifications of iPad Pro 2022 11-inch and 12.9-inch:

• Mini-LED on both models or OLED LTPO 120Hz Display
• Triple rear camera setup (12MP+ 10MP+ 10MP)
• Front Camera: 12MP Ultra-wide with Centre Stage and FaceID
• LiDAR sensor
• Titanium Alloy body
• M2 Chip
• MagSafe
• Up to 16GB RAM and 2TB storage

iPad Pro 2022 Pricing in the US and the UK

• The iPad Pro 2022 11-inch base variant could be priced at $799 in the United States and £749 in the UK, while the iPad Pro 2022 12.9-inch base variant could start at around $1099 in the US and £999 in the UK.

The above price is not official, and it is based on the pricing of the iPad Pro 2021. The iPad Pro 2022 could be priced at a similar price range as its predecessor.

These are just early details; hence, specs and other details may alter over time. The iPad Pro 2022 seems very good, according to earlier leaks and rumors.
