Apple's 2022 iPad Pro Might Come with 5G mmWave Support

The iPad Pro may exist the most powerful non-Mac device Apple makes, but it has been falling off in recent times. The new, fourth generation iPad Air has a newer processor, and the iPad Pro notwithstanding has an LCD display, albeit with a 120Hz refresh rate. Even so, all that means is Apple will be launching a new iPad Pro soon, and if history is whatsoever indicator, information technology will be one of the virtually powerful tablets out there.

Now, a new report from DigiTimes, citing manufacture sources, claims that non but volition side by side year's iPad Pro get the new mini LED brandish (which is something we have seen multiple rumors of anyway), but it will too get mmWave 5G support. That's something the new iPhone 12 line up already has thank you to the Qualcomm modems existence used in those phones.

However, according to the report, adjacent yr's iPad Pros will non employ Qualcomm modems. Apple tree has been working on its ain, in-house Antenna-in-Package (AiP) for the 2021 iPhone line up, and the report claims that these AiPs will also lend 5G mmWave support to next yr's iPad Pro units besides.

As for when nosotros can look to actually encounter these new iPad Pros, multiple reports, including those from Ming-Chi Kuo, and DigiTimes itself, suggest that the Cupertino behemothic volition launch new iPad Pros in the outset half of 2021. Obviously, it goes without saying that you should take this information with a pinch of common salt, until nosotros get more than concrete details, or some more reports corroborating the 5G mmWave availability on adjacent twelvemonth's iPad Pro units.
