Unlike the iPad Pro with Face ID, or the iPad Air and iPad mini with Touch ID mounted in the power button, the renders show a Touch ID home button on the front of the next iPad. Even so, one big design element won’t be changing, it seems. It seems likely to me that Apple will increase the size by shrinking the bezels and putting a 10.5-inch screen here, similar to an earlier version of iPad Air.

Apple has gently increased the screen size on the iPad from its original 9.7-inch display to its current 10.2-inch size. On the other hand, it looks like the tablet will have a bigger display. But the renders show there will be right-angle-sharp corners to the screen. The other iPads all have displays with gently curved corners, matching the curved edges of the tablet itself. mysmartprice Bigger Display But Square Corners In turn, this raises another issue.Ī bigger screen for the iPad may be coming soon. Either the new iPad will have the magnetic connector and the first-gen Pencil is history, or it will continue to be only compatible with the entry-level tablet, as it is now. The second snaps magnetically to the side of the iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad mini, for pairing and charging. The first has a pop-off top that reveals a Lightning connector so you can charge the Pencil from the iPad’s Lightning port. As you’ll know, there are two versions of Apple Pencil. This is physically possible, given the flat edges, but there’s no magnetic charging panel on the renders, so it looks unlikely. Which raises another question… Compatibility with Apple Pencil 2? This new tablet, assuming the renders are real, will bring the same industrial design language to bear on the whole range. The iPad Pro, Air and mini all have flat edges rather than the curved back the iPad has had in its entry-level model since 2010.

The entry-level iPad looks different from the rest of the iPad range. Now, back to those revelations about the next iPad. Apple never releases this kind of information ahead of time, but it seems clear to me that the iPad and iPad Pro are two months off, at least. If we can be sure of anything, then, it’s that this indicates the new iPad hardware will not be released until October this year, not September as it was last year. Of course, distinct though they are, there are many ways the iPhone and iPad overlap, so delaying new features common to both, such as unsend and edit-after-sending for Messages and Mail, could be confusing.Īlthough what seems to be the primary reason for the delay (a need for more time for Stage Manager) only affects the iPad Pro and iPad Air, a later release will affect all iPad users, including those of the new entry-level iPad described below. So a simultaneous release of macOS and iPadOS seems a good idea.

There’s another reason this logic makes sense: that new feature I mentioned above, Stage Manager isn’t just for some models of iPad but for the Mac as well. Then, about a month later, iPadOS 16 will launch alongside macOS Ventura.” The iPhone update, iOS 16, and new Apple Watch software, watchOS 9, will launch concurrently in September. He says, “This year, and perhaps in future years, Apple plans to shake up that approach. Intriguingly, Gurman posits the idea that this change may not be a one-off. Assuming that this year the predicted iPad and iPad Pro receive an October unveiling, then holding iPadOS 16 until then may not matter so much. As Gurman points out, Apple often releases its October, though last year’s entry-level iPad and the latest iPad mini popped up earlier than expected in September 2021.
