You Won't Believe What the NEXT iPad Pro Will Feature! By ZONEofTECH

The m1 iPad pros are already the pinnacle of iPad evolution. They have more performance that we could ever ask for in a tablet, even more so than the 16-inch MacBook Pro. They have a great keyboard accessory with arguably the best pen on the market. Furthermore, they have a great 10-hour battery life alongside a bright and colorful and color accurate display, and on top of all of this they are super thin with the 11-inch model being just 5.9 millimeters. So if the iPad pros are already this good, is there anything harder related that apple could improve aside from obviously an even faster processor? Well, it turns out that apple is actually working on some very unexpected and also some very big hardware. Changes for the next iPad pros, so get a snack ready and here's everything to expect the first big change could actually be a redesign.

Okay, that's interesting, but how the iPad is already super thin light, and it is pretty much an all screen design already. What could change I mean unless they go back to that rounded frame design of the pre-2018 iPad Pro. They really cannot change. Much right well mark German released a comprehensive report in which he not only talked about the redesigned iPad Mini which we covered in this video, but he also talked about how apple will be changing the iPad pros next year. He said that apple will be switching to a glass back from the current aluminum back in order to enable wireless charging mark hasn't.

Given us a lot of details regarding this, but I predict that if they do add a glass back to it, it would be a frosted glass bag. Just like we have on the iPhone 12 pros. I can already imagine a pacific blue iPad Pro with a stainless steel frame, pretty much just like an iPhone 12 Pro just you know in an iPad form that would look incredible. So a design like that definitely gets the seal of approval from me. But of course that's.

The main downside of such a design will be the durability. If you drop your iPad, the chance of that glass cracking is quite high due to how large that single piece of glass is compared to you know the smaller glass panel that we have on something like an iPhone, but there's no denying that if they do make a drastic design change like this, it would make it the best looking iPad ever by far, at least in my opinion now going back to early charging mark German states that this could mean mac save support just like the iPhone 12s. He hasn't really said if Apple will be launching like a bigger maxi adapter, maybe, but I can pretty much bet that the wireless charging coil will be right where the Apple logo is. This is just to make it easier for users to tell where to connect the wireless charger to, and also if we take a look at the back of an iPad Pro. The Apple logo is already in the middle.

You know what else is usually in the middle. The wireless charging coil, so now you're all probably wondering if the new iPad will have wireless charging. What's going to happen to the USB type-c port? Is that going away because we've had rumors of you know the iPhone ditching that at some point in the future? Is that happening to the iPad? Well, no, or at least not, yet you see apple added, thunderbolt support to the 2021 iPad pros and removing that just in favor of wireless charging, which, by the way, will be slower than wire charging by quite a lot. That would make no sense. Mark German also stated in his reports that a thunderbolt port will in fact remain so yeah.

That's not going away anytime soon. Now, aside from wireless charging, another new feature is said to be reverse wireless charging, essentially the ability to just place your iPhone or AirPods on the back of the iPad to charge them. That would be pretty great, as the iPad does have a much larger battery than the iPhone does close to double really, so it could easily be used to top off your iPhone when it's running low on battery, it's even in the iPad's name, for it to act like a large wireless charging pad. Now you can already charge your iPhone from your iPad if you just connected to it. If you have an USB type c iPad Pro, you can just use an USB type-c to lighting cable, but if you don't have a cable with you, you could potentially use this wireless charging functionality with the 2022 iPad.

Pro fun fact: reverse overlay charging is actually something that apple has tried, including on the iPhone for quite a few years now, according to a FCC filing the iPhone 12 line does actually have reverse wireless charging built into it. It's just that it is said to only work with a specific accessory which hasn't been launched, yet maybe the AirPods 3 or the AirPods Pro 2. We don't know but interesting enough. We've actually heard similar news when the iPhone 11 came out, that it also supported reverse roller charging, which, for some reason, never got enabled in software fixity even discovered the presence of a mystery board under the battery, which could have been initially intended to facilitate the reverse wireless charging functionality. So I'm not really sure what happened with that.

I just hope that this isn't something that will happen to the iPad Pro 2, where we have evidence that apple will be including reverse wireless charging. They do include it, but then they don't end up enabling it in software, for whatever reason once the iPad has been released. Okay, now it is time for a special announcement. If you go to this link right here for a limited time, only you will get 70 off with nor pass as well as an additional month for free what is nor pass. It is the only password manager you'll ever need, as unlike apple's keychain, for example, nor pass works on iOS, android, mac windows, and even Linux.

Not only that, but since nor pass is a full app rather than just a Chrome extension, it integrates perfectly into the OS, which means that when you want to log into an app, you would instantly get the nor pass pop-up to autofill your password, but nor pass can also store, secure notes, credit card info personal info, and you can even create folders to organize your data in. On top of that. Nor pass offers you tool, such as password health alerts, for when your passwords have appeared in data breaches and much more use, coupon code zone of tech or the link below to get 70 off plus an extra month for free, okay and the next big upgrade is said to be OLED and uh. Also, you're subscribing to the channel, that's uh, that's another upgrade. You know it could be both actually it'll, be quite cool but yeah in 2021, apple added, the famously or infamously mini LED display to the 12.9-inch iPad. Pro this display was received with quite a lot of controversy.

I already said in our videos that the increased brightness only applies to HDR content, which most people would not be watching on a regular basis. So when it comes to day-to-day usage, that extra brightness of the mini LED display is not really noticeable at all and the local dimming. Whilst it does make a noticeable difference in daytime at night, it severely impacts reading, especially dark text and dark websites. As you get, these large blobs of backlight bleed, which I found to be incredibly distracting at night anyway. According to a recent report by Michigan, the 11-inch iPad Pro, this one will also get a mini LED display in 2022.

So that's pretty much expected. We know that the main reason why we didn't get it this year was because of severe supply constraints and manufacturing. Issues of this brand-new mini, led technology. Getting mini led on the 2020 to 11 inch is not a surprise to me at all, but here's where it gets really weird et news reports that some iPad models in 2022 would actually switch to OLED, to which Ming Chico adds that at least the iPad Air 2022 will be switching to OLED hold on. So the iPad Air, which is the lowest and iPad, is getting an OLED display, a technology that is actually superior to the mini LEDs inside the iPad Pro I mean yes kinda and in a way it does make sense.

You see the main issue with OLED panels. Aside from the potential burn-in is that they cannot get that bright. All the tablets today are limited to around 400 units of brightness, whereas the 12.9-inch male led iPad. Pro can go up to 1600 nits, a 4x difference, of course that when you're using it for nonuser content, the mini led iPad Pro can only go up to 600 nits. So in that case the difference isn't that massive, but there is still a difference compared to you know the OLED panels of today, which are dimmer, but then I remembered that the iPad Air does not actually go to 600 nits.

It only goes to 500, which means that all that apple needs to do here is just get a slightly brighter OLED panel that goes to 500 instead of 400 nits, and then they could just have another display in the iPad Air. You know that wouldn't be that difficult to do reason why I do think that the iPad Air, getting an OLED display in 2022 does make a lot of sense. The pros not so much as apple seems to really be pushing for that HDR content workflow, which does require some insane brightness levels which mean led, can easily deliver so okay OLED's on the iPad Air, but remember when Michael said iPad Air at a minimum, which means that there could be another iPad that could also get OLED in 2022. Now I obviously don't see that being the entry-level iPad, so I think that the best option is um, the iPad Mini. We know about the redesign happening from our Garmin, so there is a good chance that apple will ad doled to next year's iPad Mini as well, of course, that there is also the possibility of apple, not adding a mania lead display to the 11-inch iPad Pro and instead adding OLED.

But I do believe that this is less likely than the mini led scenario as if they ad doled to the 11 inch. They would first need to bump the brightness of that OLED panel to 600 nits to match what they have right now, which is a bit more difficult to do than just bumping into 500, which is what they would do with the iPad Air. Also, the 12.9 inch would still be superior in terms of HDR content. So I really don't see apple wanting to have this disparity between the two iPad pros in 2021. It was unavoidable because of the supply chain constraints, which will unlikely be the case in 2022.

One last thing that I want to mention in terms of the display is that, according to mark German apple is also working on some larger iPads, even larger than the 12.9 inch model. Imagine a 14-inch or even a 16-inch iPad Pro. Would you actually want that? I definitely wouldn't. Nonetheless, the software got better which, if we take a look at iPad, OS 15 file management and multitasking they're, barely any better or any different from an iPadOS 14. So yeah no real improvements here whatsoever and there is one final improvement that has been reported for the 2022 iPad pros, and that is a new three nanometer chips.

This is coming from Nikkei Asia, who claimed that the 2022 iPad Pro will be apple's first device to feature TSMC's new three nanometer manufacturing process. Now I want you to pause and think about this statement for a second, because if you just take a look at that, you're, probably like okay, that's cool whatever, but I think it has way more implications. If you just analyze it. The current type of pros feature apple's m1 chip same chip as in the new max, but that ship was unveiled back in November 2020 five months before the new m1 iPad pros came out. If the 2022 IPA pros will be the first ones to feature TSMC's three nanometer manufacturing process.

That technically means that the iPads will get the m2 before the max will, which is very interesting, because we expect the m2 to come out in early 2022, so around March or so. But we also expect the m2 to be a refinement of the m1 architecture, rather than be based on a new manufacturing process. So does this mean that we'll get both the m2 and the m3 in 2022, with the m3 being released later in the year and based on the three nanometer manufacturing process? Well, looking at Nikki's report, this does seem to be the case, which means that these new iPad pros will not be out until late 2022. If this three nanometer processor report is indeed true at the end of the day, I really think that what the iPad needs to focus on is software and not hardware. And honestly, it's been the same story for quite a few years now great hardware, lackluster software and apple keeps improving the hardware while completely ignoring the software.

Do I want a mini, LED display or OLED on my 11-inch iPad Pro sure who wouldn't uh? Do I want a three nanometer processor, I'm sure, as long as it improves the 10-hour battery life that we've had since the original iPad in 2010. ? So what I'm saying here is that the upgrades that I want to see on these iPad pros are upgrades that will have a meaningful impact on my own workflow, and these are really just a better display, a better battery life and, more importantly- and this is the main one- a more usable software experience. Let me know in the comments what improvements would you want to see in the new iPad Pro to make you to upgrade from a 2020 2018 or even an older IPA pro and definitely subscribe? If you have found this video interesting, and you want to see more cool tech videos like this one- hopefully was I'm Daniel. This is means of tech, and I'll, see you guys in the next one synoptic signing out cheers you.
