As per Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple will introduce new iPad Pro foldable models featuring the M2 CPU on Tuesday, October 18. New 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models will be revealed in a few days, and he has shortened the timescale to tomorrow. The revelation will probably take the shape of an Apple Newsroom press release.
Features
No significant cosmetic changes are anticipated for the iPad Pro this year, indicating the upgrade will be a slight spec increase. Key new features for the iPad Pro include compatibility with MagSafe wireless charging and the same M2 processor seen in the MacBook Air.
It is the opposite of other smartphone manufacturers like Samsung, who introduced foldable smartphones instead of tablets. A foldable iPhone is not presently a viable option for Apple. Ben Wood, chief of research at CCS Insight, stated in an interview on CNBC that his company believes consumers would reject that trend and perhaps experiment with a foldable iPad. Apple will be taking a very significant risk with a folding iPhone. According to Wood, it would need to be extremely pricey to avoid cannibalizing the current iPhones.
Prediction of analyst
The analyst predicted that the price of a foldable iPhone would be roughly $2,500. The most costly model now available from Apple is the iPhone 14 Pro Max with maximum storage, which costs about $1,599. Wood stated that despite this, Apple has no choice but to react since the trend toward foldable devices is building strength, which is why the firm will start with an iPad.
