A Large-Screen iPad in Tow
The alleged 15-inch iPad, as Gurman notes, will make the iPad a home device, which will help users control their smart products and do the basic tablet stuff. It is imagined to be a bit thick for it to accommodate powerful speakers, but at the same time refrain from carrying a bulky design as seen on the Echo Show 15.
iPadOS could most likely come with a “Home Mode” to make its transition to a home device smooth. Additionally, it is likely to double as a laptop too.
It is further suggested that Apple is working on an iPad with a big screen, which could possibly turn this thought into a reality. However, there might be downsides too. The alleged 15-inch iPad, if it becomes official, is expected to be expensive. Plus, Apple will have to make Siri more efficient for it to compete well with Alexa or even Google Assistant. It remains to be seen what Apple plans to do.
Meanwhile, Apple is expected to launch a new iPad Pro in 2022, which could come with a redesign, upgraded internals, wireless charging support, 5G, and more.
Gurman further suggests (via 9To5Mac) that Apple might launch an external display for its latest Macs, which could fall in the affordable price range. Would you like a big 15-inch iPad with new capabilities? Let us know in the comments below.
