Apple is reportedly looking to expand the iPad line with a new model that features a 16-inch display. If the tech giant’s reported plan does not change, the device could enter the market by next year.
The Information reports, citing a source “familiar with the project,” that Apple is currently developing a 16-inch iPad. The company is reportedly planning to launch the device in the fourth quarter of 2023, so it could be released around a year after the M2-powered iPad Pros that went on sale this week.
While no other specifications were mentioned, the same report said the 16-inch iPad would be marketed toward creative professionals. It then makes sense for the device’s primary selling point to be a screen size that is not currently available on any other Apple tablets.
People working as graphic artists and designers typically need higher specs to run software and apps for their jobs. So aside from a 16-inch display, the rumored iPad might include a more powerful version of the M2 chip. But given the potential late-2023 launch, Apple could even use a next-gen chipset to power the upcoming iPad.
The report did not mention anything about plans for the device’s name. It is unclear for now if the device would be introduced as an extension of the “iPad Pro” line or if Apple would give it an all-new iPad brand.
Apple currently has three different lines of iPad in the market, including the entry-level tablet, the iPad Air, and the premium iPad Pros. But it could be much more
Apple appears to be exploring different devices with larger screen sizes than what is currently available in stores at the moment. Earlier this year, display industry analyst Ross Young reported he had been able to “confirm” the existence of a 14.1-inch iPad with a mini-LED display and support for ProMotion.
Young said he was “not sure” yet when the 14.1-inch iPad would be released, but he speculated that it could launch in early 2023. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, meanwhile, reported last month that Apple is also considering introducing a 15-inch MacBook Air next year.
