Apple is reportedly planning to release an iPad Pro with the rumored M2 chip between September and November of this year. Mark Gurman expects Apple to issue a major update for the upcoming generation of iPad pros.

Apple last gave the iPad Pro a significant update in 2018, when Apple introduced a design with harder corners, an edge-to-edge display, and a USB-C connector.

A rumored launch date between September and November 2022 means Apple will spend anywhere between one year and four months prepping the new model. The most recent generation of m1-equipped iPad pros was launched in May 2021.

Apple showed off its newest iPad Air earlier this month but left out an updated version of the iPad Pro. Sources say Apple may have abandoned the glass back design, possibly opting for an aluminum back with a glass Apple logo instead.
