Apple tipped to release the largest iPad Pro tablet ever in 2024 topping the 12.9-inch model،
Not all tipsters are right every time they post on “X,” Weibo, or whatever platform they use. Take tipster Majin Bu, whose tips and leaks we have passed on from time to time. A few days ago he
posted a tweet (via
AppleInsider) which included information about the upcoming iPad Pro line that he said he was informed about.
The tweet indicates that we could see three iPad Pro models next year, two of which feature OLED panels. The 11-inch and 12.9-inch models will be the first iPads to sport an OLED screen. This part of the trick seems legit as it is a rumor that has been circulating for some time. But Majin Bu says he’s also been told about a third model that will feature a 14.1-inch mini-LED screen.
Mini-LED backlighting allows a screen to be as close to OLED as possible without cost. With mini-LED, the screen is brighter and the contrast ratio can reach 1,000,000:1. These displays also display deeper blacks and there is no risk of screen burn-in like there is with OLED. The current 12.9-inch iPad Pro sports a mini-LED display.
On the other hand, the tipster may not be far from the possibility of a third iPad Pro featuring a 14.1-inch micro-LED display. In 2022, according to Ross Young, co-founder and very specific CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), Apple was working on a 14.1-inch iPad Pro model for 2023, although there was no new iPad models this year and that such a model is available. the tablet could easily have been pushed back to 2024.
Majin Bu also said in his tweet that all three iPad Pro models will be powered by the powerful and new M3 chip with 8GB of RAM. The displays will each offer up to 3,000 nits of brightness, and the tablets will support a new Apple Pencil with interchangeable magnetic tips (for drawing, technical drawing, and painting). He also expects Apple to introduce a new aluminum Magic Keyboard for high-end tablets with two USB-C ports and that MagSafe will somehow be used to connect to tablets instead to use a smart connector.
Additionally, there would be a “software only” Dynamic Island on the new iPad Pro (2024) tablets. The latter is not necessary to hide the True-Depth
camera on the iPad Pro as is the case on the iPhone. In his tweet, the informant already blurs the lines by writing: “I’m not sure of the source so I can’t take this information too seriously but I think it’s okay to report it anyway.”
