The argument is that you’d want a better D/A converter in an audiophile or audio editing chain than what Apple includes in their hardware, so you’d be plugging in some sort of external interface anyway.
I guess so, but it isn't an impactful update. Jut a tiny technical update in a single market.
They could but the current frame is aluminum which would still be lighter than titanium. The titanium only replaced the heavy stainless steel on the iPhone Pro.There’s this from earlier this year:
iPad Pro: Should You Buy? Features, Reviews and More
The 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models were updated in May 2024 with the M4 chip, OLED display technology, a thinner, lighter design, and support...www.macrumors.com
I’d assume they’ll move to titanium for the frame. Presumably the OLED assembly is lighter weight as well.
It’s not. It’s still last year’s model. What baffles me is that people still expect yearly updates to ipads when apple hasn’t done that for nearly a decade (they actually update ipads every 1.25-1.5 years)
I miss the old Apple,..the one that innovated with customers in mind. Not the corporate hog only beholden to its shareholders it's become. Gurman is 100% right when he says that the only lever Apple has, is to raise prices..
Having just read that Tim Cook refused to appear at Apples first Apple Watch meeting held by Ive, I shouldn't be suprised. Remember, he's not a "product guy", but all about numbers.

I'd really really love an iPad Pro.
Waiting for the oled model in 2024

We have a winner for selfish-I-can-only-think-of-myself post if the week. None other need apply.
They are going to use the iPhone 15 strategy, cheaper models use optimized last gen SoC, while the Pro’s use the latest SoC.

They only need to do 3 things:
- A feature to have multiple users/accounts on 1 device.
- 13" iPad Air.
- iPad Pros with OLED screens.
In my books normal OS able to properly use hardware potential is all iPads need today.
Be interesting how much bigger trackpad will be on the new pros
Could be ideal

I wouldn't mind getting another one but I won't do it until they add user accounts.
There's nothing wrong with my wife's iPad, but we're going to upgrade to get the USB-C port. After that, only two iPhones to go.
Agree. It should be able to run a version of MacOS, not a version iOS.
At no point, because that would just mean one cannibalizing the other. Apple is too profit-focused to have any interest in that.
iPad issue is software limited, not hardware. Give it a new cpu won’t fix it.
It took 3.5 years between the iPad mini 4 and 5, so it’s not like anything is guaranteed.
If the next mini still doesn't have FaceID, I am going to UNFOLLOW Apple on Twitter.
That's not a threat. That's a promise.

100%. My 2018 Pro still runs great and the latest models give me no good reason to upgrade. On the positive side, it’s great that they are overpowered and built for longevity.
