iPad Pro (2022): All you need to know about the next-gen iPad Pro range
The new iPad Pro range could sport wireless charging and a refreshed design when it’s released in 2022 – here’s all there is to know so far
This year’s iPad Pro range brought significant changes to the premium iPad duo. As well as an upgraded Mini-LED display on the 12.9in model, Apple introduced its desktop chipset – the Apple M1 – to the range, allowing the tablets to harness the impressive processing power and battery efficiency usually exclusive to desktops and laptops.
While that’s impressive enough, Apple is hard at work on the next iPad Pro range behind closed doors. We round up all there is to know about the iPad Pro (2022) range right here, including the latest release date rumours and what to expect from the upcoming tablets.
When will the iPad Pro (2022) range be released?
With the iPad Pro (2021) range still close in the rear-view mirror, it should come as no surprise that Apple has yet to announce a release date for the next-gen tablet range.
With that being said, what we can do is look at previous releases to get an idea of when to expect the new iPad Pro range to appear. Going back to the release of the first-gen iPad Pro 11 in 2018, here’s how the iPad Pro release schedule looks:
- iPad Pro range (2018): November 2018
- iPad Pro range (2020): March 2020
- iPad Pro range (2021): May 2021
As you can see, it’s not quite as clear-cut as the Apple Watch or iPhone, which tend to debut in September every year, but there is a vague first-half-of-the-year schedule over the past few years. If Apple is to continue that with the new models, we should see the new iPad Pro range appear sometime in the first half of 2022.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claims that a new iPad Pro will be released in 2022, but has yet to provide a release window.
