Yep lol
used my 16 inch MacBook Pro today and it really is massive. I can’t see Apple releasing an iPad this size. Cost would be massive
If it is OLED, it's going to look terrible with a ppi of 257, unless Apple have found a way to use RGB rather than PenTile sub pixel layout.
I can see Apple engineers adopting a heat release design coming out the quad speakers. Unlike the Macbook Air, they keyboard is seperate and doesn’t have vents.
Replace OLED in the spec sheet with miniLED and it makes better sense. At least there would be one new iPad in 2023...
Yes video export would be notably better but anything else - not really. Ray tracing, as rumored in M3, would also be a desirable feature in an Ultra. An 16 inch miniLED for 1550 usd would make sense and before you are done with all the necessary ssd upgrades, it will be over 2000 usd.
Once the iPad Ultra [Name pending] is officially announced and released. it will create a whole new demographic. The all-iPad demographic. Those who own the iPad and only the iPad for their workflow. The price between the iPad and Mac will not be a factor.
iPadOS and MacOS will ALWAYS remain separate.
With the rumors of the Ultra getting dual 6K monitor support, this will make the decisions significantly easier.
The Advantage of iPadOS vs MacOS
1. Owners do not have to worry about swap memory/SSD writes as iPads have Flash memory vs SSDs on Macs. iPads last longer.
2. iPadOS functions similar to iOS, but more desktop-esk
3. iPad supports 5G always connected.

We have heard a 16 inch rumor before so that is not so surprising.
Well AFAIK, besides Intel's Optane SSDs which utilize 3D Xpoint, Flash memory is the storage medium in the SSD of a Mac, isn’t it?
And iPadOS allows for virtual memory now -> »With Virtual Memory Swap, iPad storage can be used to expand the available memory for all apps, and delivers up to 16 gigabytes of memory for the most demanding apps, helping to make multitasking absolutely seamless.«
Hey. You’re in good company. Even Steve Jobs thought the idea of a video iPod was silly. Then they did it.That’s what I said about the video iPod back then.
People tend to be myopic. Things seem weird until theyre not
Been hearing this since the first 12.9" came out.
The iPad stands as a work tool for Pencil users (artists, reporters and so on), and as an expensive companion device (didn't want to say toy, just this time) for everybody else.
A 14"/16" will only make the first group happier and make no difference for the others.
The iPad would need a large output vent for it to pull air though. And then it would need a large input vent.
Steve Jobs was correct. I had one and watching videos on that tiny screen was silly. Reminded me of all the tiny portable TVs like my Sony Watchman back in the 80s; at least those had novelty going for them.
