Apple has long been rumoured to refresh its iPad Pro lineup with the M2 SoC found on the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13. Now, acclaimed tech insider Mark Gurman has claimed that the new M2-powered iPad Pro models will be coming in a ‘matter of days’.

iPadOS 16 was unveiled by Apple during WWDC 2022 but the update itself is not coming to iPads until next month. One of the most stand-out features has got to be Stage Manager and it looks like Apple is making a ‘u-turn’ from its previous decision on the feature and will be bringing it into non-M1-powered iPads.

Apple is expected to hold two events later this year. One of the events is for the latest iPhone series, and someone has just tipped about what's in store for another one. According to the source, the second Apple event should be for unveiling the low-cost iPad and an M2-powered iPad Pro.

The bets on Apple launching the new iPad Pro before 2022 ends are high. Before that happens, someone tipped that the tablet might sport a new connector for the accessories, which could even cause incompatibility with the existing ones.

A new report says that Apple has started producing iPads with OLED panels, and they would offer a lightweight design and improved image quality. According to ET News, the prototypes are being produced with Korean display partners Samsung and LG Display, which allows the tech giant to conduct a series of tests.

Apple is set to add 9 devices to its ‘vintage’ list at the end of this month, marking 5 years since the company last distributed them for sale. These include popular devices such as the first MacBook Pro series with Touch Bar, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro as well as the 27-inch iMac.

An exciting rumour has popped up recently claiming that the iPad mini 7 would feature 120Hz ProMotion. However, reputable display industry analyst Ross Young says he would be 'surprised' if it's accurate, which tells us that it might not happen.

Previously, we reported that current iPads that are not powered by the M1 SoC will not be getting the ‘Stage Manager’ feature in iPadOS 16 due to certain limitations. However, recently a delve into the OS code on older iPads show that the feature can actually be turned on internally but it is disabled by Apple.

Apple has made its iPad lineup one step closer into becoming a full-fledged computer replacement with iPadOS 16 with features such as Stage Manager that allows for next-level multitasking on a tablet. Well, the next iPad Pro lineup may make those multitasking tasks even smoother as they are touted to be powered by the latest Apple Silicone, the M2 SoC.

The recently held WWDC 2022 event by Apple introduced a lot of new features and improvements for iPhones and iPads via iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 respectively. For the latter, among the most notable addition has got to be the ‘Stage Manager’ feature which allows users to resize apps into overlapping windows, a feature similarly found on new macOS Ventura.

While this new addition makes the iPad one step closer to being a computer replacement in terms of software, it seems that only iPads that are powered by the M1 SoC will have the privilege to get the feature. This is because Apple has clarified that iPads that run on its mobile A-series bionic chips will not get Stage Manager, which includes the iPad Pro 2020 which is only 2 years old.
