Gurman: New M2 iPad Pro Models to Be Announced 'In a Matter of Days'

I'll most likely be updating this round from my 2018 12.9. I had a triple disc fusion in my neck earlier this year and the iPad had become invaluable to my daily work life. Sitting in one spot for long amounts of time ends up hurting so I'm constantly moving between three or 4 locations in my house. Kitchen bar, dining room table, office, couch. I converted my work laptop to a VM that runs on my proxmox server so I can work from any location from any device with minimal effort. I usually keep my work laptop in the office and my personal laptop on the bar. The iPad allows for working in the other two locations with ease.
This is really disappointing, so basically if the rumours are true in 5 and a half years since the 2018 iPad Pro launch to the next iPad Pro (probably around early 2024) the 11 inch model would have only got slight camera improvements, LiDAR and some form of MagSafe charging…
All things which really haven’t improved the product for about 95% of users.

Ohh a sycophantic post criticizing a TC dissenter real late. I was expecting the post you responded to to have been flambéed twice over by now. LOL
So much horsepower, but no room
to gallop. Stage Manager? What. A. Joke!

Crickets on the Mac mini. I don't want to pay $2000 for the studio, there should be something between the studio and the two year old m1 mini.
What exactly are you demanding? In that time the horsepower has scaled up greatly, as has the RAM. Are they supposed to put a floppy drive and hand crank on it?
Honestly, a bigger screen in the same size, taking pictures, anime, browsing, good sound, and euh ... that's about it I think. The camera is the main reason I got the pro, my wife only takes pictures and video with the iPad, it's just her thing.
I was going to use the pencil but that never happened
I was going to use it with photoshop but it doesn't fit with what I do
I was going to do video editing but no time
...
But hey, I still love it, it's a great machine and I'm probably buying another one to replace an older iPad. Probably a M1, the speed is crazy fast already.
Apple’s Mac Pro Will Silence The macOS Competition
The new M2 MacBook Pro laptops are ready to meet the world. So why is Apple going to hide them away?

In same boat with my 2018 iPP 11". It's still fine for my needs, but I'd be able to justify to myself upgrading here at the 4yr mark heh. Would be great if they add something a bit more substantial than just the upgrade to M2! I think if they brought mini-LED to the 11", I could pretty easily justify the upgrade. It seems now that this is unlikely to be the case though...
This might be the way. Especially if the new 11" iPP is very incremental...
Sadly this may end up being the case... the A12X in my 2018 11" iPP to A12Z to M1 to M2, while nice on paper, really hasn't improved the functionality, speed or capability of the iPad Pro in any meaningful way. I've never felt performance limited on my 2018 version, and I think that's likely the case for the majority of iPad Pro users out there (but for the small minority who push the capabilities / use it more like a laptop-replacement).
Just more support around the idea that the iPad Pro hasn't been hardware-limited for the last 4 years. It's the software capabilities that's held it back - either intentionally (to not make it too much of a Mac replacement) or just due to lack of focus / innovation from the software team. Either way, it's where we'll remain until there's a true step-function change in iPadOS. In the meantime, for us consumers of the iPP, I think the way may be to get earlier versions (eg. M1 iPad Pro) when the new one releases at good discounts, and wait until then.
ive bought 3 IPPs since first launch. waste of money. because the OS sucks.
The flexibility really is underrated, especially with the MKB. I've taken to using it as my on-the-go machine rather than hauling my MBP around.
To read the forum on a website called Mac rumors 😄
This is why I just buy the basic budget iPad. Love my 9th gen with the Combo Touch
Speaking of which, is the iPad 10 gonna be the sleeper hit of this keynote/press release?
I just hope they make it thicker and rigid. By thicker, I mean like add a few millimeters to accommodate a bigger battery. The base iPad should not be able to beat the iPad Pro in terms of battery life. But everything else about the iPad Pro is awesome. Just make the stage manager stable and its one heck of a device.
No mini-LED screen on the 11” iPad Pro… again! Come on Apple. You really don’t want my money do you? My 2018 11” iPad Pro still kicks butt as a digital sketchbook, as well as editing photos & 4k video on. So I won’t be upgrading… BUT I definitely would consider it if the 11” finally got a mini-LED screen like it’s bigger brother the 12.9”.
