Between September and November of this year, Apple is expected to unveil an iPad Pro featuring the rumored M2 chip, according to Apple tracker Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter. Apple is expected to release a major upgrade for the next generation of iPad Pros, which will reportedly feature support for MagSafe charging, according to Gurman. This year, Apple is on pace to follow the same pattern, as the most recent generation of M1-equipped iPad Pros will be released in May 2021. Apple will spend anywhere between one year and four months and one year and six months preparing the new model, based on a projected debut date of September to November 2022.
Apple showed off its new iPad Air during its "Peek Performance" event earlier this month but left off an improved iPad Pro model. The previous year, Gurman predicted that the iPad Pro would include wireless charging and a glass back. This assertion is backed up by a report from 9to5Mac, however, its sources believe Apple may have abandoned the glass back design in favor of aluminum back with a glass Apple logo.
There hasn't been much information regarding the supposed M2 chip, either, because Apple has yet to confirm it. The chip's CPU, according to Gurman, will be somewhat quicker than its predecessor and will include the same eight-core architecture. He also expects Apple to include the M2 in both the new iPad Pro and the new iPad. as well as the rumored introduction of the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, and 24-inch iMac later this year. The rumored M2 chip will be included in the updated MacBook Air, according to Gurman, although Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo believes it will be replaced by the M1.
