With more power and resources at its disposal, the iPad Pro could become more Mac-like in its navigation and multitasking to take advantage of its bigger screen and touch-friendly interface.īattery life will finally last longer than 10 hours

Navigation is confusing and wonky, gestures and taps are unintuitive, and the whole system doesn't make it all that easy to work in more than one app at the same time.Ī new chip won't solve those issues without a rethinking of the whole concept, but it will allow Apple to think about multitasking in more powerful ways. To put it mildly, the iPad's multitasking system isn't great. But with an M1-caliber processor on board, Apple might be able to bring the developer platform to the iPad, a move that would instantly boost the tablet's capabilities.Ī better multitasking system is on the way Most notably, Xcode isn't available for iPadOS, which means developers need a Mac to develop iPad apps.Īs it stands, Xcode uses a tremendous amount of resources and processor power beyond what any iPad can deliver. Why would Apple feel the need to upgrade the processor beyond what an A14X would be capable of? Here are five reasons.įor all of the things the iPad Pro can do, there's still a giant hole when it comes to pro-level apps, particularly the ones Apple makes. Any iPad Pro user will tell you it's plenty fast enough, and even iPads from several years ago can run the latest apps and operating system without a problem. While desktop speeds on a lightweight tablet sound awesome, it's also a bit of overkill. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the processor inside the upcoming iPad Pro will deliver performance 'on par with the M1 chip in the latest Macs,' meaning it'll be crazy fast. However, while we expected the iPad Pro to get an A14X or Z like the iPads of old, a new report suggests that Apple's high-end tablet might be getting an even bigger speed bump.
