A rumor claims Apple's 14-inch iPad Pro will feature an M3 Pro chip next year - here's what you need to know.
to run a special version of iPadOS 17. The device would support up to two 6K displays running at 60Hz, and run on an M3 Pro System-on-Chip . There’s a lot to digest in there, and we’re far from getting any confirmation. But a week later, a different leaker claims that the 14-inch iPad Pro will feature the M3 Pro chip, a processor that Apple has yet to unveil.
Apple’s newest chips are the M2 Pro and M2 Max that power the 2023 MacBook Pro models. Later this year, Apple should unveil the M3 SoC, which will be available via the expected 13.6-inch MacBook Air and legacy MacBook Pro refreshes. An M3 Pro and its M2 Max equivalent shouldn’t drop until 2024, considering Apple’s M-series chip release cycle so far.
As for the iPad Pro models, they’ve only received M1 and M2 chip versions to date. The M3 should also power future iPad Pro versions. A move to M3 Pro for the iPad seems inconceivable. The Pro and Max chips are more powerful. They require a fan for cooling inside MacBook Pro models. But then again, Apple can do anything it wants with its silicon. And the M3 SoCs should be more efficient than their predecessors. Maybe Apple has found a way to put the M3 Pro inside the 14-inch iPad Pro without active cooling. This is just speculation, however, based on this tweet:iPadOS will also get a big update
