Deep dives

Apple's plans for newer version of iPad Pro

The current iPad Pro, technically released in 2022, remained largely unchanged since the 2018 major revision. Initially praised for its flat sides, magnetic pencil, and Face ID integration, several improvements were hoped for in the successor. One key expectation was relocating the Face ID sensor to accommodate landscape mode usage effectively with keyboards. The design shift reflected a shift in user behaviors favoring laptop-style configurations, urging better alignment of physical components for enhanced productivity.
