14.1-inch iPad Pro No Longer Rumored for 2023

[MacRumors]

Apple is no longer planning to launch a 14.1-inch iPad Pro with a mini-LED display in early 2023, a shift from plans earlier in the year.

In June, reliable display analyst Ross Young reported that a 14.1-inch iPad Pro with a mini-LED display was slated to launch in the first quarter of 2023. Now, Young says Apple is no longer planning to launch the new 14.1-inch form factor. Young suggests the device has been canceled entirely or significantly delayed. In July, Ross followed-up to say the device could feature a LCD display instead of mini-LED.

A 14.1-inch iPad Pro would have been the largest iPad to date, beating the current 12.9-inch size. The development of a larger-sized iPad Pro was first shared by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in June 2021. Gurman said Apple engineers were looking into the possibility of larger iPad Pro sizes that could "hit stores a couple of years down the road at the earliest."

And who decides that this is no longer a rumor? I think it’ll come…

There's a reason why there are four letters in a row in analyst. Because they talk 💩

🙃

Well, that ended fast by the Analysts. I was really hoping for Apple to launch the 14.1" iPad in 2023. Seems like Apple will be staying with the standard size 12.9" iPad. Ughhhh!

ARRGRGGGGGGDDDDFRRRYYYYYY!!!!!

We get the absolute dumpster fire abortion of Stage Manager that barely functions and has a tiny niche use case for maybe 8/100 people, but we can't get a larger battery (because thinner is unfortunately an obsession), better Files management, an ACTUAL SSH CLIENT, Xcode, Apple's Final Cut suite, move the FaceID and Camera to Landscape, and Lock Screen manipulation.

I am so ready for a 14" iPad, put one on my wall in my kitchen for HomeKit management as well as doubling as a wall TV. My 12.9 is wonderful for this usage, as well as my other 12.9 I use for Work, but I am so ready for a larger screen size.

Mouse and Keyboard just no longer interest me, I am always Full Screen with my apps and swiping and typing on the screen is a dream. 14.1" I would buy three just to start.

That rumor never made any short-term sense. It would have been heavy af with mini-LED. Far more sensible to wait until they adopt OLED to expand out the screen sizes.

 

[profets]

To me, at the time, the only odd thing about the rumour was how it supposedly wasn't an iPad Pro, but more a 'regular' iPad.

I wonder if the next true refresh/design for the Pro comes in early 2024 with new sizes (12 and 14?)

LMAO camera in landscape

It's at the top where it has to be for a handheld device held in portrait mode. Left side in landscape mode.

A 12" OLED iPad would have my money so quickly. Goldilocks size between the 11" and 12.9" and lighter?? Sign me up. Hope they keep them 4:3.

Hey guys, I think I can do this rumour mill stuff too.
"According to reliable insider information, Apple is in advanced development of a brand new (amazing unrealistic) product XYZ, planning to release it in Q1 of next year."

A few months later....
"According to reliable insider information from a supplier, Apple has delayed the release of product XYZ, due to issues with the design and reliability. The launch has been moved back to Q3".

A few months later...
"According to reliable insider information, Apple has reportedly cancelled product XYZ entirely. Product XYZ was in advanced development, and the insider says Apple no longer plans on launching the product."

Rinse and repeat.

I've always been torn between 11 and 12.9, I find both fantastic sizes (though for different use cases). A thin and light OLED 12" would just be incredible.

 

[klasma]

I’d buy one even with regular LCD.

Man I have OLED burn in on my iPhone. Don't go there.

 

[sledgehammer89]

A thin and light OLED 12" would just be incredible.

... with macOS and a touch layer.

 

[Ghost31]

One day: here’s a rumor about a thing

Next day: actually I take that back. Forget that thing I said

 

[CWallace]

Looks like cancelled in favor of 11" and 13" OLED models:

who decides that it was even true...these can be made up and after some time, come again and say something like this.
Without any proof ..

I'm holding out for a 17" iPad Pro. 😂

 

[tridley68]

Aww man I was hoping to upgrade my 12.9

 

[jmgregory1]

I’m ok with their not going up in size and hopefully instead working on reducing weight of the existing 12.9” iPP’s. Would love a titanium version to go with the iPhone 15 Ultra titanium. It would also be nice to get a few more hours of use out of the battery. Maybe create a Magic Keyboard that includes a battery to bump the usable time unplugged up to 12-18 hours…

The worst part is that even if you get the 14’’ iPad it probably won’t have any of those things. I hope I’m wrong but 10 years on the iPad have teach me to not expect much from iPadOS.

 

[ohthehorror]

And here I was hoping for a 75 inch iPad. 😢😢😢

 

[fatTribble]

Although I was hoping for this to be released, I’m really happy with the 12” iPad Pro. On cloudy winter days I can still get a full days supply of vitamin D just by turning up the brightness.

My Mom taught me if you’ve narrowed your purchase down to just two items, buy them both.

Yeah, I got the first iPad and never upgraded until the 10.5" and the Files app in 2017. iPad has been such a disappointment some times where the Mac gets attention, the iPhone gets attention, and then a bunch of kids demanded they turn the iPad into a MacBook.
When all they have to do is help devs get real pro apps onto the iPad Pro than can use all that RAM
