The new 12.9-inch iPad Pro with Mini-LED display has been widely rumored for many months. The device will still use an LCD display, but it uses a Mini-LED backlight, which has the advantages of higher brightness and contrast.
It is unclear whether the 11-inch iPad Pro will also update the Mini-LED display, because many rumors only mention the 12.9-inch model, although the two devices are usually updated together.
The new 12.9-inch iPad Pro is also expected to use a faster A14X chip and support 5G networks on models with cellular network connections.
March is a common month for Apple to announce new or updated products. The last time Apple updated the iPad Pro product line was in March 2020, with minor improvements to the A12Z Bionic chip, ultra-wide-angle camera, LiDAR scanner and better audio microphones.
The Chinese leaker “Kang” recently stated that Apple plans to hold a press conference on March 23, but of course Apple can choose to use a press release to announce the new iPad Pro. Other rumored products include the long-rumored AirTags item tracker, the new Apple TV, the new AirPods and more Apple Silicon Macs.
