FEATURE THE NEXT iPAD PROIt’s about that time of year to pop our
heads once again into the rumor mills to
see what’s being churned out.
March is often the time that Apple will
make its first big announcements of the
year, but it tends to be less cookie-cutter
than something for WWDC or Apple’s
annual September shindig. In 2019, we got
a Services-focused event that introduced
Apple Arcade, Apple Card, Apple News+,
and Apple TV+. The year before that there
was a 9.7-inch iPad at an education-focused
event.
Rumors have now started to coalesce
around one Apple product line that seems
poised for a refresh: the iPad Pro. Already
speculation has begun over what might
be due for Apple’s high-end tablet. While
the main iPad was updated last Septem-
ber, the iPad Pro’s most recent revamp
was in October of 2018, making it ripe for
some new features. Here’s what might be
in store.CAMERA UNOBSCURA
One of the biggest rumors circling a new
iPad Pro has been the addition of more
rear cameras. The current model features
only a single 12-megapixel camera on the
back—serviceable, but rather spartan,
when you consider the multitude on
Apple’s latest iPhone models.
Given that, it’s not terribly surprising
that some rumors have the iPad ProRumor has it that the new iPad Pro will feature camera upgrades.
