iPadOS 17 help for 14-inch iPad
Stories of an iPad Professional bigger than the present 12.9-inch mannequin date again to 2021, although issues had been fairly imprecise at that time.
Mark Gurman says that Apple is presently contemplating future iPad designs with bigger shows. [He] says that any new iPad display screen dimension change is at the least a ‘couple of years down the street’ and has not but left the exploratory levels.
A 12 months later, in June of final 12 months, we obtained a extra particular report.
In line with dependable analyst Ross Younger, the 14.1-inch iPad Professional is presently in growth and might be launched in early 2023 with ProMotion and mini-LED show know-how in tow.
@analyst941 says they’re listening to affirmation on the software program facet, together with help for extra highly effective show capabilities.
I’ve heard there’s a particular model of iPadOS 17, being developed particularly for bigger iPad Professional/Extremely/Studio mannequin(s), there’s a slight change that may give the 14.1” mannequin help for as much as 2 6K shows at 60hz. This alerts for a particular M3 Professional SoC within the flagship iPad.
The “particular model” label is considerably complicated, probably suggesting solely that the potential to drive the shows is included in iPadOS 17, and can apply solely to an upcoming iPad Professional. A lot as I’d like to suppose Apple may revamp iPadOS to make it extra succesful on bigger iPads, I’m not holding my breath.
iPhone 15 Professional Thunderbolt help
At this level, we’re sure that Apple is switching from Lightning to USB-C in all 4 of this 12 months’s iPhone 15 fashions. We’re additionally confidently anticipating the Professional fashions to help Thunderbolt 3, primarily for video work, whereas the bottom fashions will get the brand new port however be restricted to USB 2.0 switch speeds.
@analyst941 signifies that the Professional fashions will use Thunderbolt help so as to add a function for videographers:
A brand new cinematography function that can enable reside 4K Thunderbolt outputs to screens whereas recording. Primarily, you’ll have the telephone with all of the digicam controls, related to a monitor displaying reside 4K digicam footage with none controls; in 16:9.
Apple Watch pairing with a number of units
Presently, the Apple Watch can solely pair with one iPhone at a time, however 941 says this can change.
Apple Watch can sync throughout a couple of Apple machine too, lastly. I don’t understand how this can be applied. All I do know, once more, **ALL** I do know, is that Apple Watch will sync throughout a number of iOS/iPadOS/Mac units, and can not be tied to at least one single iPhone.
9to5Mac’s Take
@analyst941’s observe report so far is restricted to sure particulars in regards to the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Professional. That signifies they do have dependable sources, although we don’t know the extent of their data.
Since then, our personal sources have lent credibility to their declare that the iPhone 15 Professional Motion button goes forward, regardless of Apple dropping plans for capacitive buttons. Our personal sources verify {that a} button will exchange the present mute swap on the 2 iPhone 15 Professional fashions, which makes it extraordinarily probably that it’s going to certainly function an Motion button.
All the identical, Apple performs round with a variety of issues, solely a fraction of that are launched, so take all of this with a pinch of salt for now.
