The new iPad Pro (2022) is rumored to be equipped with two sets of four-pin Smart Connectors
You’re probably thinking, so what’s the big deal? The report suggests that the new connectors can be used to power up accessories that plug into the Thunderbolt/USB-C port. Also, it isn’t known whether the current three-pin accessories will work with a four-pin Smart Connector. And the pair of four-pin connectors will be found in new locations on the top and bottom side edges of the iPad Pro (2022).
The current three-pin Smart Connector allows you to add the Magic Keyboard to the the iPad Pro
Macotakara also says that we should expect the chasis of the new 11-inch and 12.9-inch variants of Apple’s tap-of-the-line slate to pretty much look the same as the previous models except with the two four-pin Smart Connectors.
Apple has delayed the release of iOSPad 16 until October
With iPadOS 16 delayed until October, Apple can decide to unveil the new iPad Pro models next month but release them in October. Or, it could announce the new tablets at a stand-alone event in October. A third possibility: you wake up one October morn and Apple has dropped a press release announcing the new iPad Pro models. We could see Apple increase the battery capacity on the new tablets, especially since some users complained that the Magic Keyboard was making their battery life disappear like magic.
There has also been speculation about MagSafe support for the iPad Pro (2022) which would bring wireless charging to the device for the first time. Both models should be powered by the M2 chipset which has 20 billion transistors inside. That is a 25% increase over the number found in the M1 which should make the 2022 iPad Pro slates more powerful and energy-efficient than last year’s models.
Speaking of the M2, the chip is being built by TSMC using its 4nm process node which could make the iPad Pro (2022) the first device offered by Apple with a 4nm chip inside. Generally, the smaller the process node number, the larger a chip’s transistor count. And that is important because the larger the transistor count, the more powerful and energy-efficient a chip is.
