2024 iPad Pro: Key Rumors to Be Aware of Ahead of Announcement

My M2 iPad Pro is very good. Using it with Pencil is the only way to use it. Keyboards are for zombies.
Better cameras will be excellenté
It will also probably have better speakers and a better microphone.
I am hoping Apple didn't move the front-facing camera to landscape orientation. 🙏

I'll believe it when I see it.
I've heard the X is close to the M series. Competition is good. Being restricted to Ipad OS on these powerful machines is tiring.

I’d love an OLED screen but they would have to do something flashy to get me to upgrade— the ability to run macOS apps when in keyboard mode would make it an instant buy for me.
Maybe Apple doesn't do any kind of press event this time (ie, the rumor comes from somebody who would usually know about press invites), but I would be shocked if there's no online video event to launch a major revision to the iPad Pro.
They have enough to talk about here. They'll have even more to talk about if they've finally made the choice to enable the iPad Pro to run a virtualized macOS.

They put out fake prices so people go, oh, the price increase isn't that bad. Not the first time we hear stuff like this before an announcement. What matters more is why have a desktop chip in a tablet if you can't use it as a desktop replacement. Enough already with needing every apple device, they are all powerful enough to act as a computer if they wanted to. And if they counted as computers, Apple would have a huge share of computers out there.
Still super wrapped with everything my M1 iPad Pro can do. It’s actually the most useful computer style device I have ever owned. If it had a desktop style OS, I would sell it straight away. 🤮
I just want better battery life. I get 2-3 hours out of my iPad Pro 12.9” 5th gen while drawing. The battery isn’t degraded, it’s always been like this since day 1. I guess my drawing app isn’t very battery efficient, I dunno.
I am, however, still using my Apple Pencil 2 I bought in 2018 and it’s still doing perfectly fine.

But as you said, the Surface Pro will still be limited by a desktop OS. No SoC can make it a proper tablet.
Missing 24GB RAM and iPadOS Pro options in this list. Also I want to have a Smart Keyboard too. Best keyboard not to get dust, dirt and crumbs into the keyboard.
Why would you want to update it with a cracked screen?!
You’re waiting for the release of the new M3 OLED pro
I’m waiting for the discounted M2 to hit the refurb store
😭

So long as it only has one IO port, no data capability through the Magic Keyboard and no headphone socket, it's still going to be half a laptop with half an operating system. iPads are wonderful as casual sofa surfing devices, but the Pro iteration has a personality disorder. The sole USB-C socket also has a not-unheard-of propensity to disintegrate under heavy use, thus turning the device into an expensive floor tile. I'll pass.
Agree. Windows 11 isn't great for tablets just as iPadOS is limited for general purpose computing as many here have complained about.
