 Show Will the iPad get bigger than 12.9 inches? Image: AppleApple's current largest tablet is the 12.9 inch iPad Pro, but a 16-inch model would match Apple's biggest MacBook, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip. Citing a source familiar with the plans, The Information reports that a 16-inch iPad would blur the line between the iPad and MacBook. Apple could release the 16-inch iPad in the fourth quarter of 2023, although the report also notes that Apple might change its plans and not proceed with the super-sized model. ZDNET RecommendsBloomberg's Mark Gurman last year reported that Apple was working on iPads larger than the 12.9-inch Pro. Gurman also said that, after using the 16-inch MacBook Pro, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro felt cramped, making a 14-inch or 16-inch iPad an attractive prospect. Also: iPad Pro (2022) review: I'm cautiously optimistic. Or foolish The latest report doesn't state whether Apple would position the 16-inch tablet as an iPad or as part of its iPad Pro range. Supply chain analyst Ross Young last year reported that Apple could launch a 14.1-inch iPad (rather than iPad Pro due to the use of regular LED instead of more expensive miniLED). He predicted a launch in the first quarter of 2023, as 9to5Mac reported at the time. As The Verge notes, a larger iPad could help iron out some of the pricing confusion caused by the new 10th-generation iPad. At $449, the new entry-level iPad with an Apple Magic Keyboard Folio ($249) and Apple Pencil ($99) gets pretty close to the $999 M1 MacBook Air. That higher price for the 2022 iPad likely explains why Apple is still selling the 9th-generation iPad at $329. Apple has already blurred the lines between the iPad and MacBooks with the iPadOS 16 Stage Manager multitasking feature, which makes it easier for iPad users to switch apps and overlap windows on-screen, more like a desktop. Stage Manager is also available for MacOS Ventura. This multitasking feature could be even more compelling on larger iPads, which could mirror the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. AppleEditorial standardsRelatedNearly everyone has been expecting another Apple event in November, but a new rumor suggests that the Macs and MacBooks with M2 Pro, Max, Ultra, and Extreme chips won’t be arriving until 2023. In Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter, the Bloomberg writer claims Apple decided to hold off on the announcement of new Macs until 2023 since Apple could be introducing a new Mac Pro with an even more powerful variation of its M2 chip, along with updated MacBook Pro laptops and a faster Mac Mini. Gurman expects this Mac-centric Apple event to come in the first quarter of 2023. Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June is another likely date for new Mac computers to be announced. An announcement made through a press release in November is another possibility and getting a new Mac out before the holidays wouldn’t be unexpected. That doesn’t make sense if there are significant upgrades, but an M2 Mac Mini launch via a press release is a possibility. Most Apple sources of rumors and leaks have changed their predictions and agree that a November event is considered to be unlikely, so if you have been waiting to make a purchase to see what Apple had in store, it might be time to move on with your plans and pick from the MacBooks that are available now. Apple’s first-quarter releases typically come in March and new Macs might not arrive until June. If you don’t mind waiting several months, there could be an absolute beast of a computer in the form of a new Mac Pro with an M2 Extreme chip. Editors' Recommendations
