iPad Pro 2022 Models (11-Inch, 12.9-Inch) to Feature Mini-LED Displays: Ming-Chi Kuo

Apple unveiled only the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the M1 chip and Mini LED display at the Spring Loaded event earlier this year.

Apple is also working on bringing OLED displays on iPad models next year

HIGHLIGHTS

• Next-gen iPad Pro models may have a glass back
• iPad Pro models in 2022 may support wireless charging
• iPad Pro models in 2023 may have an OLED display

Apple introduced the 12.9-inch iPad Pro with Mini-LED display but did not incorporate it in the 11-inch iPad Pro model this year. A new investor note by TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that is going to change next year. Kuo claims that the Mini-LED display technology will not be limited to the 12.9-inch model of the iPad Pro in 2022, but will also be made available on the smaller 11-inch iPad Pro as well. Previous reports claim that the next-gen iPad Pro models may have a glass back to support wireless charging.

A new investor note by Kuo was accessed by MacRumors and it suggests that Apple is planning to introduce Mini LED technology on many of its devices next year. The Cupertino company is likely going to introduce it on the rumoured 2022 MacBook Air and on both 11-inch and 12.9-inch 2022 models of iPad Pro. Apart from this, Kuo does not reveal other specifications of the next-gen iPad Pro models.

A recent report from Bloomberg claims that the 2022 models of iPad Pro may support wireless charging. Apple is testing a glass back for the iPad Pro to enable wireless charging for the first time and attempting to try out reverse wireless charging. Designs for the new iPad Pro are reportedly in early stages and plans could change or be cancelled before next year's launch.
