Apple may be exploring the possibility of larger iPad Pros, 14" and even 16"

28 June 2021
These would match the upcoming 14" and 16" MacBooks, which are said to use mini-LED displays. The iPads may use such panels too.

Berserker, 29 Jun 2021till this day I've never heard on my service shop some... moreWHile I cannot understand how people loved phones that needed two hands to operate or can barely be held properly, the complaint with small models with flagship specs is the smaller battery.

But it is funny since most of them have their thicc powerbanks anyways to complement their thin phones.

That, or they park themselves near power outlets lmao.

    Anonymous, 28 Jun 2021Until they put MacOS on it this will continue being uselessI agree. I think Apple could practically obliterate tablet competition, even at the levels of those like the Surface line (not taking into account Windows vs Mac debate) by creating a hybrid system akin to Samsung's DEX mode in which a user could switch to MacOS desktop and run full desktop class apps on the iPad when docked with a keyboard/mouse solution and then seamlessly hop back into iOS when on the go or when using the iPad as a tablet makes more sense. I think the introduction of using Apple's own chips both in Mac and iPad series makes this a much more feasible solution as the software must run on the same hardware for both tablet and computer now anyway.

        "As Gurman points out, iPadOS still lags behind macOS in terms of app support and how it handles multitasking."

        Apple really needs to fix its iOS platform. It's just too limiting. It's the absolute weakest link in the ecosystem. Otherwise iPads would have replaced laptops and desktops by now.

              there is no need to blame nobody.

Because 97% of Asian people are using their phones for everything. And since Asia is 1/3 of the world, the other 2/3 just need to accept the bigger phones.

                            Anonymous, 28 Jun 2021Until they put MacOS on it this will continue being uselessAgreed. I would go a step further and say even with Mac OS a 14 or 16 inch tablet may still be useless.

                              Interesting, Samsung also working on a 14.6" tablet. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

                                Pure madness to earn more money whether iOS or Android.
                                Maybe one day we see a 20inch tablet as well.
                                Better call it a TV instead of Tablet

                                      pointless, given how expensive their current ipad pros are, you can get a full blown macbook pro, for very little extra,, in fact if you had to spend $300+ on a magnetic keyboard for the ipad, the newest macbook pros are actually CHEAPER, and can do so much more on a laptop, ipads are glorified giant phones with to many limitations, until apple seperates the pro line from the rest of the phone and tablet lin and a gives way more freedom, then these are completely worthless for their price point
