In the first instalment of Bloomberg’s Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman says that Apple is currently exploring future iPad designs with larger displays. The current iPad Pro maxes out at 12.9-inches diagonally.
Gurman says that any new iPad screen size change is at least a ‘couple of years down the road’ and has not yet left the exploratory stages. Apple is currently developing a redesigned iPad chassis with a glass back for 2022, which will ship in the existing 11-inch and 12.9-inch screen sizes.
Gurman speculates that larger screens may further blur the line between Apple’s tablet range and its laptop lineup. As productivity on iPadOS increases, so does the demand for more screen real estate to get work done on.
