The Rumored 16-inch iPad May Launch in the Fourth Quarter of Next Year
The ridiculous 16-inch screen belonging to this unnamed iPad will likely be geared toward professional customers, according to a report from The Information. MacRumors states that consumers who wish to have a bigger canvas to work with will be interested in such a product. If a launch happens, this iPad will share the same display size as the current-generation 16-inch MacBook Pro. The larger 16-inch iPad may also be packed with ‘over the top’ specifications such as a powerful chipset, boatloads of RAM, storage, and more, meaning that Apple will likely launch it as another member of the iPad Pro lineup. However, the report does not mention if this version will replace the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro or be added to the existing range. What we are pretty sure about is that this version will not feature OLED technology and will stick to mini-LED. This is because Apple is rumored to start procuring two-stack tandem OLED panels from the likes of Samsung and LG in 2024. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has also commented that the company will launch the 12.9-inch and 11-inch models with OLED, and these panels will tout the same quality as the units placed on a top-tier iPhone. Unfortunately, Gurman did not release any statement concerning this 16-inch model, so it is possible he might not possess any knowledge of the product, at least not this early anyway. Apple is known for canceling future product launches, so if this 16-inch iPad does not perform or look according to the company’s expectations, we may not see it next year. As always, we recommend our readers treat this information with a pinch of salt and wait for more updates. News Source: The Information
