And I’m sure the new iPad Pro will be just enough of a change in form factor to require an all new Magic Keyboard.

Gurman: Apple to Announce New iPad Pro With M2 Chip This Tuesday

Other than your guess, what is your scientific/engineering basis for this advice? Are you a computer engineer? Why in the world would I give any credence to your recommendation, which I will completely ignore and order one of these? Do you seriously think Apple is that bad that they gave no consideration to heating, etc? Oh, it's "seriously advise", not "seriously advice".
It makes you buy new peripherals.
This says more about the sad state of the web than about anything else.
And certain maintenance jobs. iPads have replaced thick costly to print and reprint manuals.
I'm still loving my 4th gen iPad Air. I now use it more than my MacBook Pro.
If it's LCD it's just Apple continuing to sell outdated garbage.
Doubt it. The whole point is for Apple to be able to service their entire iPad lineup with a single Smart Keyboard design, thereby streamlining their manufacturing.
Technically miniLED is the technology behind an LCD so unless you’re waiting for OLED all non OLED displays are LCD.
This Gurman guy must be well connected. New iPad based on the new chipset. Curious what he will predict about the iPhone? Rumor has it they release new iPhones.
Exactly this. I haven’t gotten one since about the 2nd Gen so I don’t mind a spec bump right before purchasing.
Meaningless without Pro apps. Give us an extra USB-C port, too, or an SD card reader. Maybe bring back the headphone jack, too? That nice high-impedance jack from the MacBook Pro and Mac Studio.
Hopefully faster charging speeds over the extra USB-C port, or maybe light data transfer capabilities (although I am not expecting this to happen)
I don’t care about updated iPad Pro’s, but I would love it if they updated the Magic Keyboard, perhaps adding a thicker aluminum base with integrated battery, so that the combined iPad Pro and keyboard last closer to what the MBA does. The added weight wouldn’t bother me, as the measly current battery life is such a negative.
Serious question for those complaint about a landscape camera: what are the chances Apple allows you to use your iPhone as a camera when in landscape mode? They introduces this in MacOS so it should be easy to implement in iOS. Would this solve the problem for the people who complain about this non stop?
That would make the iPad too much like a Mac product and we can’t have that
Same here, rocking the 2017 iPP. It surely does everything I need it to do, in terms of performance the current iPad Air is more than sufficient to me, however, I have grown to love the better speakers & ProMotion display of the Pro. If the 2022 iPP update is incremental, I actually consider getting the 2021 iPP at discounted price as again, it is more than future-proof for what I am doing with it.
They announce it, presale Friday, and released next Friday…. One with iPadOS 16. My guess.
I have a 9.7 pro from 2016. I would be fine with an iPad Air, but I want to see what these bring.
I’d accept an increase in weight of the keyboard if they decreased the weight of the iPad itself. The 12.9 quickly gets painful to hold when I use it like an actual tablet.
My 2020 iPad Pro is still plenty over-powered even with just the A12Z
Unless they plan on letting us install MacOS on an iPad there’s not much point to processor upgrades

You will need the new M2's faster neural engine to run Apple's brand new calculator app. Those calculations won't run "to Apple's satisfaction" on M1 and older models.
Wonder if there'll be a 3rd announcement, I assume budget iPad & Pro are 2 definite announcements.
People don't upgrade their iPads on a yearly basis. People keep these for 5-7 years.
I, for one, wouldn't upgrade an M1 iPad, especially considering that no current software on Earth is able to bring it to its knees yet.
Who suggested that anyone would bother upgrading from an M1 model? The year-over-year upgrades are not intended to lure people to upgrade from the previous generation.
