Apple is expected to announce a new generation of the iPad Pro in the rumored October event. As it’s been months since rumors about this tablet started, there are some features that are very likely to be available with this new generation of iPad Pro. Read on as we round up four of them that we expect to see on the 2022 iPad Pro.

MagSafe support

One of the key features available on the new MacBook Pro and on the iPhone is MagSafe compatibility. For the 2022 iPad Pro, it seems Apple could finally adopt this technology to the tablet.

At the same time, the Japanese blog Macotakara reported that Apple could add “4-pin connectors on the top and bottom side edges” of the new iPad Pro to support new accessories.

miniLED and LCD options for the 2022 iPad Pro

When rumors about the 2022 iPad Pro started, it was believed that both of the tablets would feature a miniLED screen. Now, analysts Ross Young and Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple will keep the LCD technology for the smaller 11-inch iPad due to high costs of production.

Improved battery life

“Apple is taking share with just a single product for the rest of this year in this category. While it was previously thought that Apple would also introduce MiniLEDs to the 11” iPad Pro, we no longer believe that is the case, at least not this year. Apple is reportedly targeting its MiniLEDs on larger and more expensive displays,” said Kuo in March.

With that, although Apple always promises a 10-hour battery life, this would mean this iPad could handle more demanding tasks for longer – or, at least, more time connected with the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil, which will likely get a revamp.

The M2 chip is coming to the 2022 iPad Pro

After Apple surprised everyone with the addition of the M1 chip on the iPad Pro, it’s likely for the company to add an upgraded version of this processor to the upcoming 2022 iPad Pro. Naturally, this iPad would feature the M2 chip.

Wrap-up

These are four features we expect to see on the 2022 iPad Pro. As of now, it seems this tablet could be released in the rumored October event, according to Bloomberg. In addition to that, Logitech’s website says a new iPad Pro is “coming soon,” which could corroborate the latest rumors.

This product will be important for users to take advantage of all the features coming with iPadOS 16, such as Stage Manager, Reference Mode, and more.
