According to Mark Gurman, renowned Bloomberg journalist, the next update of the iPad Pro will be the “most significant redesign since 2018” for the Apple tablet. According to the specialist, there is a “strong possibility” that the iPad Pro 2024 will skip the recent in-house M3 chip, released in October 2023, to move directly to the next generation, M4, undermining Mac computers. . In his latest newsletter, he reports that Apple’s next device would be the first from the Apple firm to focus on artificial intelligence functions, so as not to miss the shift initiated by the competition. Thanks to this chip and its much more powerful neural engine, the iPad Pro 2024 would not need to send data to remote servers, but it would be processed locally directly on the tablet.
The emphasis on AI would not be the only novelty expected on the iPad Pro 2024, which should be unveiled earlier than expected by being the subject of the special event on May 7, organized and called “Let Loose » by Apple. This tablet would in fact also be the first to be equipped with an OLED screen, technology offering a better contrast rate and more vibrant colors than with LCD. Support for haptic feedback would also be introduced for the first time on the Apple Pencil, Apple’s stylus, version 3 of which would also be sensitive to finger pressure and would be compatible with the Locate application to easily find it, as well as with the Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset.
After this presentation, Apple should return to the advantages of the characteristics of the M4 chip, as well as the new features brought by the future iPadOS 18 system, during its annual WWDC conference which will take place in June.
