Apple's new iPad Pro will have an OLED display and new keyboard, report says
Apple is working on a new generation of iPad Pro devices, and it might be one of the biggest updates the company's tablet has received in years.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the new iPad Pro devices, which are likely to be launched in the spring or summer of 2024, will have OLED displays. Currently, the 11-inch iPad Pro has an LCD display, while the larger, 12.9-inch model has a mini-LED display; switching to OLED displays should provide deeper blacks, more accurate colors, higher brightness, and (perhaps) improved battery life.
Gurman also says that the larger iPad Pro will measure 13 inches, a small but noticeable upgrade. Notably, the report doesn't mention the previously rumored, extra-large iPad Pro. It also echoes a 2022 report from analyst Ross Young, who claimed that Apple will launch slightly larger iPad Pro devices with OLED displays in 2024.

The new iPad Pro models will reportedly have Apple's new M3 chip, as well as the optional Magic Keyboard with a larger trackpad and other improvements.
The iPad Pro definitely needs a breath of fresh air. The current variant has been updated in 2022 but the changes were minor. And while it's unclear when, exactly, the new iPad Pro is coming, Gurman is quite certain that it won't be part of Apple's upcoming September event, where the company will probably launch new iPhones.
