Apple's spring event is scheduled for the evening of April 20. The introduction of the 5th generation iPad Pro seems most likely. Various leaks report that this iPad Pro 2021 will get a 12,9" display based on mini-LED technology. But it won't be his only novelty. Performance will also increase dramatically, and perhaps we can look forward to 5G. 

Display 

Mini-LED is a new form of backlight used for LCD displays. It offers many of the same benefits as OLED, but can often offer higher brightness, better energy efficiency and a lower risk of pixel burn-in. This is also the reason why Apple should give it priority over OLED technology in the larger iPad displays. Its production costs are also lower. Mini-LED technology is also expected to come to the line MacBooks For, and this year.

Design 

The Apple iPad Pro 2021 will be virtually identical to last year's model in terms of appearance, according to accessory manufacturers should only contain fewer holes for the speakers. Nothing, except for the color design of the invitation, indicates that its color variants should be changed. The name of the tablet already makes it clear what work it is intended for, so Apple, unlike the Air series, will stick to the ground with the color combinations. Since Face ID is present, we will definitely not see Touch ID.

Performance 

So the biggest change will probably be the shift in display technology and of course its installation with a new chip probably based on the Apple Silicon M1, which will give the tablet even better performance (perhaps even that of the current Mac mini). Magazine 9to5Mac already found in iOS code and iPadOS about the new A14X processor and evidence. iPad Pros are now equipped with the A12Z processor Bionic and the novelty should have up to 30% better performance. Although RAM is not listed by Apple anywhere, it is at least expected 6 GB. There should be a choice of 128, 256, 512 GB and 1 TB of integrated memory.

Camera 

The fourth generation iPad Pro was the first Apple product to feature a scanner LiDAR, has now also moved to iPhones and to the 12 models. It does not seem that the company should introduce its new generation, but the iPad Pro is expected to get an upgrade of its cameras, which will receive similar technologies just like the iPhone 12. The 5th generation of iPad The Pro could thus have a dual camera, when the wide-angle 12MP will have an aperture of ƒ/1.8 and a 10MP ultra wide angle with a field of view of 125 °, it offers an aperture of ƒ/2.4. Apple may also add support for Smart HDR 3 technologies, ProRAW a Dolby View.

Connectivity 

Agency Bloomberg then recently said that the new iPad Pros will be equipped with connectivity for the first time Thunderbolt, instead of classic USB-C. This would open the door to other possible accessories such as external displays, storage and more. Current iPad Pro models are limited to USB-C accessories only, so this step into the ecosystem "Thunderbolt" would be a big, and it must be said, a welcome change. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of the latest standards are of course, but the Cellular version should be capable of 5G. The smart connector for connecting Apple peripherals will of course remain. Therefore, the design of the tablet will not change too much so that the iPad Pro 2021 can be used with the existing Magic Keyboard. However, even if the keyboard will not change in any way, we should wait already the third generation Apple Pencil accessories.

Availability 

Although the launch of the new product is just around the corner, it is expected that its launch will be slightly delayed or the high-end iPad Pro will be available only in limited quantities. This is due to current problems with the distribution of components, especially displays and processors. However, if Apple introduces more iPad models, the others should not be affected, as they should still be fitted with the existing Liquid Retina panels. It is quite possible that we will also see a new basic iPad and iPad mini, which could be updated along the lines of the Air model.
