iPad Pro 16-inch to be released by Apple

The Information claims that Apple intends to offer a 16-inch iPad Pro model, citing a source with knowledge of the situation. Apple plans to release the item in the fourth quarter of the next year, most likely around the same time that the M2 iPad Pro did in 2022. A 16-inch iPad Pro, in our opinion, would most likely be marketed primarily to creative professionals and would not be intended for the public market in the same way that current iPad models are. Think of it as a specialized product for a small but significant audience, similar to the Mac Pro or Pro Display XDR. The new 16-inch tablet with Apple Pencil may be used by the target market to provide a wider working canvas in programs like Procreate, Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator, and others. No extra or supplementary features or pricing, which would probably be fairly high, were mentioned in the study. This does not indicate that a Mac/iPad merger is imminent. However, The Information questioned whether Apple's intention to combine iPadOS and macOS is indicated by the next iPad's laptop-sized display. But in our opinion, that is incredibly unlikely, and the article's emphasis on it misses the point of this technology in the first place. Although the article's headline claims that this would "further blur the line with laptops," the hand-drawn art focus of such a tablet may instead move it even further away from the traditional usage of laptops. For instance, if the iPad has the same aspect ratio as other iPad Pro models, it might be awkward to use a laptop style at that screen size. Apple spokespeople have been consistent in debunking the idea that the company plans to merge the Mac and iPad platforms, even as the Mac gains some iPad-related features and the iPad gains heavier multitasking capabilities and the like. Although both platforms feature Stage Manager, a merger between them is not inevitable. Although they are designed to cater to quite different users or at the absolute least, very distinct customers, this does not preclude the two platforms from benefiting from some feature fusion.
