Okay, so I’ve been an iPad user for years. I started with the very first one, and I’ve pretty much upgraded every other generation. I use it for everything – work, drawing, reading, watching movies – you name it. I was pretty excited when Apple introduced the Pro line because it felt like they were finally taking the iPad seriously as a professional tool. But honestly, recent updates have felt a bit underwhelming. Don’t get me wrong, the M1 chip was a beast, but I haven’t felt that same ‘wow’ factor lately.
But you know what? This year’s rumors have me genuinely pumped! If the leaks are true, the new iPad Pro might be the biggest upgrade we’ve seen in years. I’m talking about a potential tOLED screen! I’ve seen what OLED can do on phones, and the idea of that vibrant color, deep blacks, and incredible contrast on a larger canvas like the iPad? That’s game-changing, especially for someone like me who does a lot of digital art.
And then there’s the rumored M4 chip. Look, the M1 was already super powerful, so I’m not sure how much further they can push it, but if this new chip delivers even better performance and efficiency, that’s huge for professionals who rely on their iPads for demanding tasks. Imagine editing 4K video or running complex design software with even more speed and responsiveness.
Honestly, I’m trying to keep my expectations in check, but it’s hard not to get excited about the possibilities. If Apple really delivers on these rumors, the new iPad Pro could be a real game-changer. It might even tempt me to upgrade sooner than I planned! It feels like we’re on the cusp of something big, a real leap forward for the iPad, and I can’t wait to see what Apple unveils on May 7th.
