News & Reviews:   Apple iPad Pro specs

Apple has today unveiled the next generation of its redesigned iPad Pro, powered by its new M5 system-on-a-chip. On the Apple newsroom, the new tablet is said to deliver massive leaps in horsepower, AI capabilities, and graphics performance. It comes in a few variants, starting from RM4499.

If you are a huge fan of Apple devices, this news might excite you. Recently, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg said the new Apple iPad Pro could come with the latest Apple M4 chip. That said, what should you know about it?

Apple surprise dropped the M2-powered iPad Pro earlier this week, and it's now the most powerful iPad in history. Powerful hardware should get powerful software to match. According to a rumour, the tech giant could bring macOS 14 to the tablet next year.

Back in July, it was rumoured that Apple would launch iPads with LTPO OLED displays. An iPad Air with that panel was supposed to come next year, followed by the iPad Pro in 2023. However, sources claim that the plans for the former have fallen apart.

Currently, the largest iPad model offered by Apple is the iPad Pro that comes in 11-inch and 12.9-inch display sizes. According to a renowned journalist Mark Gurman, the company is preparing to make even larger iPads in a few years.

It seems that a report by XDA-developers.com hints that Xiaomi could be working on a premium tablet to take on Apple’s iPad Pro series. With that being said, we can expect the tablet to come equipped with flagship features such as 120Hz high-resolution display, high battery capacity, Snapdragon 888 chipset, as well as stylus support.

Based on a statement by money.udn.com, it seems that Apple might be keen on releasing the new Apple iPad Pro, iPad Mini, and iPad AirTags on 16 March 2021. While not much is known in regards to the Malaysia release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect when it is officially available in the global market.

Based on a statement by gizmochina, it seems that next year’s Apple iPad Pro will be available in two different variants that are equipped with either a Mini LED or an OLED display panel. While not much is known in regards to the release date of the iPads, our source hinted that the Mini LED is expected to be unveiled somewhere around H1 2021, while the OLED variant will be unveiled around H2 2021.

Did you feel underwhelmed by the new iPad Pro that Apple launched back in March? Fret not, for there may just be another model in the works that's more powerful. Sources indicate that TSMC is manufacturing new A14X Bionic chipsets for Apple this year, which could mean that a more powerful iPad Pro is on the way.

Do you still remember the 2020 version of iPad Pro that has been launched by Apple during MCO earlier? We hope you do. It turns out that the new iPads actually feature new security technology that no iPad has ever had in history. The new iPad Pro is said to be able to disconnect microphones in hardware when it’s covered by a case.
