The M2-fueled iPad Pro has little competition, but it has a ton of issues, too. Here are a few areas of improvement that will truly elevate its successor.
The 2022 iPad Pro is quite a fascinating device. It’s got more firepower than a majority of Apple’s own computers. It offers arguably the best stylus experience of any mainstream tablet. The build quality is amazing, the screen is stunning, and the keyboard is fantastic.
Long overdue battery upgrades This is a big weak area that the iPad needs to address. For the past three generations, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro model has been stuck on the “up to 10 hours of surfing” battery promise. This is bad from a generation-over-generation perspective, obviously. But the reality is that you don’t buy the iPad Pro for web surfing. The basic iPad can handle that like a champ at nearly one-third of the budget.
If Apple is envisioning the iPad Pro to double as your take-anywhere computing buddy, it seriously needs to address the battery life concerns. But it’s not just about the capacity, as Apple really needs to amp up the charging pace. But here’s the interesting part. You can’t just fire up the default camera app and start shooting ProRes 4K videos. It simply doesn’t allow that yet. For ProRes duties, you must rely on third-party apps like LumaFusion and Filmic Pro.
A wild, but legitimate OS dream Now, now, now — this might sound like a pipedream, but the only other way a processor as powerful as the upcoming M3 can truly justify its existence is by powering a software ecosystem worthy of it. We already have Macs with M1 and M2 processors that can run Windows 11, thanks to solutions like Parallels, in case you’re seeking an appropriate inspiration.
Better display, less penny-pinching Don’t get me wrong. I’ve used the mini-LED display on the iPad Pro and coupled with the 120Hz ProMotion tech, it feels great. But all that pixel goodness comes with two stinging caveats, which definitely don’t paint a good picture of Apple as a consumer-first brand.
It would be unwise to imagine that Apple will make its next-gen Pro tablets any cheaper than they are today. If anything, they would only get more expensive as Apple prepares the rumored OLED panel upgrade. “When you turn the iPad Pro in a landscape view — the most common position for productivity and video calls — the camera gets put off to the left side and creates an awkward angle for yourself on Zoom, FaceTime, etc.”
