Something doesn't add up here with previous leaks. Previous leaks have said that the dimensions of the new iPad Pro (bigger one) is almost 1mm longer and wider than the current one. If the bezels are "slimmer" as this article suggests than the new iPad Pro is slightly larger with smaller bezels but still has a 12.9" screen? Either the screen is larger, the dimension are off, or the bezels size is wrong.
Got a tip for us?

Apple to Use 'Best OLED Panels on the Market' for Upcoming iPad Pro

Doesn’t matter how good they are.
They will still cause headaches and major vision problems.
Micro-led or nothing.

'Now starting at $1,999 for the 128GB 12.9in iPad Pro, or 2,999 EUR for those in Europe'.
Looking forward to the 11.1”. I’ve used both the 11” and 12.9” models and while the screen on the current 12.9” Pro looks great, the 11” is far more portable and practical as a road device.
1. Don’t you think saying iPads are “useless with just iPadOS” is a bit exaggerated? Specially, given your comparison, when more people use iPads than Macs.
2. I’d say, if you know Apple, the question is always “why” instead of “why not”. Why should they put effort and accept all the inconveniences of implementing a desktop OS in a tablet?
Personally, I would advocate for a slimmed down version of macOS instead of a scaled up version of iOS. That’s a major oversimplification, of course, but I think the starting point of iPhone on a bigger scale was a mistake to begin with. Another oversimplification, but starting from macOS and adapting that to a primarily touch interface would yield better results.
…to a small group of users. They should steer clear from OLED anything I guess.
Can't hurt to wait on the 11.1" then, especially in my case, since I wouldn't buy until June anyway (Back-To-School promotion).MacRumors said:
Nothing for you it is then... probably for many, many years.
Ironically, iOS began as a (very) slimmed down version of OS X / macOS.
I don't think macOS in its current form would work very well, but I do wonder why Apple couldn't make it work for iPad.
What we have now is an iPadOS that's been designed as an overgrown iOS, instead of as a touch-optimized offshoot of macOS.

You’ve had “AI hardware” for years. Don’t let the marketing (from the likes of Microsoft with their “AI PC” nonsense) fool you.
10 years of iPads (almost all models), I finally gave up: Apple will never target pro-users with the OS. Lesson finally learned, no more iPads for me.
(Typing this with MacBook Pro + Vision Pro combo)
what is the rumor for the new iPad / Apple pencil integrations with VisionOS? nothing? there must be something? with a M3 / or M4 chip, surely be able to see display the iPadOS screen like MacOS? but what about the pencil? will it become like / be an Apple "Wand" ? will the new / updated Apple pencil/wand work independently from iPadOS? (can you use it completely & only in VisionOS? or will be still dependent on iPadOS?)
I come for some real rumors, someone dig thru some of the beta code and spill the beans!

Is this based on a released tandem OLED display?
I thought the general expectation was that each layer is driven less hard than a single layer OLED, keeping within a more power efficient range.
Lower brightness and heat per layer should result in slower degradation of the organic materials. Not quite the gains from heat reduction as two completely independent layers because they’re sandwiched together without extra surface area to dissipate heat, but less than half the heat is produced from each layer to produce the same total light output as a standard OLED panel.
Not just one but many leakers.
Dont forget that LG who already makes two stack tandem said it's 2~3 times more expensive than OLED panels.
I mostly agree, although Microsoft has shown that, if not done well, one can make a mess of both the Desktop and Tablet OS.
I don't think you can hold it against Apple that there aren't enterprise apps on iPadOS (as that is for the developers to do, not Apple), but my biggest problems with building on iOS is that the file system is useless - pushing iCloud (which I would wager is not in most people's workflow), and multitasking was (and still is) awful - which probably made more sense in the days of the early A chips.
Not the best panels, just the best panels on the market 
At leas its 1mm thinner... that was top of everyone's wish list.

Why would Apple ever bother to improve the iPad display tech if they’ve locked-in users with anticompetitive practices?
I'm actually looking forward to these ipads more than I have in years. I expect this one to last 4-5 years for sure, maybe longer if the battery doesn't give out.
Different devices need different OS's. I don't want a touch screen mac (because I use external monitors 90% of the time).
Only concern on the 12 being thinner is bendgate 2.0.
