the tablets iPadPro are some of the best tablets that Apple currently have on the market. Even so, in 2022 the Cupertino giant should update the current range with new models, also reflecting user preferences.
Thus, the next Apple iPad Pro model should be presented with magnetic induction charging. In other words, Apple’s line of advanced tablets will also use the MagSafe, until then exclusive to its iOS smartphones, the iPhone.
The next Apple iPad Pro will have a new design in 2022
The solution adopted by the Cupertino giant will be simple and bold at the same time. According to the sources of 9to5Mac, Apple will use a glass back for its next tablets. Only then will they be able to implement the wireless charging system by magnetic induction, known as MagSafe.
The report notes that this was one of Apple’s main goals for its iPad lineup, though so far they haven’t been able to do so due to the metal frame and back of current products. Thus, only with a significant change in appearance, or at least in construction materials, the American company will be able to reach such a solution.
However, according to the same sources, Apple has not yet made its decision. This is because using a glass back panel would make the product more fragile. Note that for this to be possible, a large piece of glass will need to be placed on the back of the iPad Pro, something that would be inexorably more susceptible to shattering.
The back panel of the next iPad Pro could be made of glass
We remember that since the presentation of the first Apple iPad, even at the hands of then CEO Steve Jobs, the company has always used aluminum as a construction material. However, this material would prevent the implementation of the MagSafe system which could free this product from the charging cable for this purpose.
Currently, there will be several glass-backed iPad Pro prototypes, according to the aforementioned post. In addition, the test products will, in at least one version, have a finish similar to the current MacBook Pro, but with glass replacing the aluminum alloy on the back panel.
In addition, this prototype will be equipped with powerful magnets to fix the charging base in the correct position and, in this way, guarantee greater efficiency of the magnetic induction charging system. In addition, it is said that the system implemented in the iPad Pro will guarantee a faster charge, with greater power, than that present in the MagSafe system for iPhone.
MagSafe system and a bigger battery for the Apple iPad Pro in 2022
The report also notes that the next iPad Pro will include higher-capacity batteries, thus meeting another user request. Especially those who also use the Magic Keyboard cover/keyboard which drains the battery significantly faster.
Additionally, upcoming tablets will use a similar camera module as the iPhone 13 and a new processor, debuting this year on the iPad.
The Apple M2 processor may also debut in the new iPad Pro
Already according to previous rumors, Apple would be planning to present a new MacBook Air model with an Apple M2 processor, so it is likely that this M2 chip will also be integrated into the iPad Pro (2022).
On the other hand, the screen size should remain unchanged at 12.9 inches for the iPad Pro, according to the post. Bloomberg. The same sources also point out that this year we will have changes in the size and format of the notch, to reduce with compressed sensors.
Finally, we have the presentation of the next generation of Apple iPad Pro tablets during the first half of 2022, possibly in June around WWDC.
