The big story
Apple plans to turn iPads into smart displays
Rumours suggest that a new dock accessory is in the works to make your iPad a true home hub
AT THE TIME OF GOING TO PRESS, APPLE’S 2022 iPAD PROS WERE SAID TO BE ARRIVING “IN A MATTER OF DAYS”, SO HOPEFULLY YOU WILL KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM BY NOW. BUT THERE IS AN EXTRA TWIST IN THE TALE AS RUMOURS CIRCULATED THAT APPLE IS ALSO WORKING ON A NEW ROLE FOR ALL OF ITS iPAD TABLETS.
This comes from the usually reliable Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, who predicted that the refreshed 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pros would be running the latest Apple M2 processor for a performance boost of around 20 percent, with a design similar to the current 11-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models.
