Apple is gearing up for a major overhaul of its iPad lineup, set to be unveiled during the Let Loose Event starting at 7 am Pacific Time today (7:30 pm India time). Among the highlights, the iPad Pro is expected to debut with significant enhancements, including a groundbreaking M4 chipset and a larger 12.9-inch display, while the iPad Air might also see upgrades.

Adcanced M4 Chipset:

According to a recent report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is poised to introduce its cutting-edge M4 chipset with the new iPad Pro lineup. This powerhouse chip is anticipated to leverage advanced processing capabilities, particularly in handling demanding artificial intelligence tasks on the tablet. Gurman hints that further details about these AI features will likely be unveiled at the WWDC event in June, where the latest versions of iPadOS and iOS will be announced.

Vibrant OLED Display:

Rumors suggest that Apple is finally embracing OLED technology for its iPad Pro lineup, a feature long enjoyed in the iPhone series since 2017. The OLED display is expected to boast LTPO technology and a 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, promising superior contrast, vibrant colors, and smoother visuals.

Sleeker Design:

The adoption of OLED panels in the iPad Pro series is anticipated to bring about a slimmer profile and reduced bezels. Reports indicate that both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch models will benefit from this redesign, with the larger variant potentially seeing a 20% reduction in thickness and the smaller variant around 15%. Additionally, Apple is rumored to relocate the selfie camera to the sides of the device, ensuring it remains upright in landscape mode.

Potential Price Increase:
While exact details on pricing remain unconfirmed, reputable sources suggest that the extensive upgrades could lead to a price hike for the iPad Pro lineup. Earlier reports from DigiTimes hinted at an increase of around $160, while recent speculation from 9to5Mac suggests a possible rise of approximately $100.
