Apple is reported to be working on the next generation of iPad Pro models, which will succeed those released in 2022, and facts about the forthcoming tablets’ displays have appeared online.
The iPhone maker’s future 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models will have far slimmer bezels than their predecessors, according to tipster Instant Digital(translated from Chinese). The company is also expected to offer a matte finish as an option on its iPad Pro devices.
According to the tipster’s Weibo post, the successors to the 2022 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro will have 7.12mm and 7.08mm bezels, respectively. According to MacRumors, these bezels are between 10% and 15% less than those on the company’s 2022 models. According to the leaker, these measurements do not include the tablets’ flat aluminium edges.
Readers might know that Apple lowered the size of the bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, which were released in September 2023, and a recent report says that this trend will continue with their successors.
Instant Digital claims in another post that Apple is working on releasing “glossy and matte screen versions” of the 2024 iPad Pro devices. The latter will have a “haze value” of 29 percent (+/- 4 percent), according to the tip. It is unclear whether the claimed matte variant will cost more than the glossy version.
