iPad Pro 2021 Release Date, Specs, Price And Rumours

It has been nine months since Apple released the iPad Pro 11 inch and iPad Pro 12.9 inch. It is time for us to start pondering about the devices that Apple will launch in 2021. In this article, we will cover everything about the new iPad Pro, from iPad Pro 2021 release date, price, specs, and rumors.

iPad Pro 2021 Release Date

The new iPad Pro is expected to come in March 2021. Apple has an irregular release schedule for its iPad Pros. Every year, Apple announces new generations and sizes at different points.

4th Gen iPad Pro 12.9in – March 2020

2nd Gen iPad Pro 11in – March 2020

3rd Gen iPad Pro 12.9in – November 2018

1st Gen iPad Pro 11in – November 2018

2ng Gen iPad Pro 12.9in – June 2017

iPad Pro 10.5in- June 2017

iPad Pro 9.7in – March 2016

1st Gen iPad Pro 12.9 – November 2015

The data suggests the new updates would come around November 2021. However, the launch might be more urgent than that. With the arrival of the iPad Air, there is a possibility that the new iPad Pro will arrive sooner, maybe with 5G, in the spring of 2021.

Ming-Chi Kuo, a respectable analyst, has published a note stating that the update will likely arrive in spring 2021. In November, three reports were released claiming that Apple would use the mini-LED displays from LG for its iPad Pro launched in spring. Another report released in September 2020 suggesting that Apple would release a Mini-LED 12.9in iPad Pro in early 2021.

Which event will Apple host in spring? Reportedly, the company plans to organize an event on March 16, 2021, a suitable date to introduce the new Pro, according to Jon Prosser.

iPad Pro 2021 Price

There is one thing for sure, it won’t be cheap.

For the last two generations, since having the Face ID design, the prices of iPad Pro have started at $999 for the models with a 12.9-inch display. The 11-inch variant costs $799. Unless Apple equips the new iPad Pro with incredible features costing the production cost to increase, we would expect that the new devices will have similar pricing.

iPad Pro 2021 Feature

Here are some iPad Pro 2021 news and leaks that we have collected as well as things we would like the next generation to have.

5G compatibility

There have many rumors suggesting that the iPhone 12 lineup isn’t the only one to have 5G tech. It could be possible that the next iPad Pro cellular models will also have 5G.

Users can take advantage of 5G with speeds that surpass even their home broadband. With Apple wanting the iPad Pos to be laptop replacements, 5G tech could turn them into an extremely powerful mobile platform.

Mini-LED displays

It is expected that the mini-LED technology will be deployed for the new iPads. The new display is said to be less expensive and energy-efficient while avoiding the OLED burn-in.

There have been many reports suggesting that Apple is planning to use mini-LED displays for new iPad and MacBook models.

New processors

Like every new generation product of Apple, the 2021 iPad will surely come with the latest Apple chip. With the launch of the current iPad Pros with the A12Z processor, it was the first time that we have seen the Z suffix. It could be the designation for the Pro range, so the next models could have the A13Z chip.

Whatever chips Apple goes with, they will surely offer one of the best performances as we have seen with the blazingly fast iPad Pro.

Under screen Touch ID

While Face ID is great, some people actually like Touch ID with its tactile nature better. Moreover, it doesn’t need an array of special cameras. We have seen other manufacturers including Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi embedding the Touch ID underneath the display.

Equipping the iPad Pros with this technology means that Apple can reduce the bezels further.

Folding displays

Companies are furiously working to achieve this. We have seen the Galaxy Fold from Samsung, Mate X from Huawei, and Surface Neo from Microsoft.

Apple reportedly has patented numerous bending and scrolling displays. Could it be that the company is preparing to enter the competition with a folded iPad?

This will probably a pipe dream at the moment. But the idea of an iPad mini transforming into an iPad Max is surely an excited one.

At the moment, that is all the rumors and information that we have got regarding the iPad Pro 2021 release date, price, and features. But keep coming back as we will update you with the latest news when we have one.
