Recently, there has been news from the ** chain that Apple is preparing to release a new iPad Pro with OLED screen early next year, and will also update the iPad Air product line.
First of all, there is a high probability that this news is true. From ios173 of developers** learned that there is software support for a number of unreleased iPad Pros. The old man pinched his fingers and counted, combined with last year's ios16The release date of version 3 happens to be early next year, right, woo woo woo.
As for the details of this update, in addition to the OLED screen, there are several items that are almost certain, such as upgrading the latest M3 processor, which is also a common practice in the past, and is consistent with the latest processor on the Mac side.
And I feel that the bezels are likely to be narrowed, after all, they are still the same as the original iPad Pro 2018, which is a bit unreasonable. This is because other product lines, such as iPhone, Apple Watch and even Mac screens, are much smaller than their predecessors.
The price may be slightly higher than the previous generation, but the overall difference is not much, otherwise it will reduce consumers' desire to buy.
So back to the topic, do you really need an iPad?As one of the products with the highest ash eating rate in Apple's ecological chain, iPad is the best in terms of covering instant noodles, and many people buy it blindly without thinking clearly.
Let's not talk nonsense, give a conclusion, if you are not a painting worker, a film and television worker, or a writer with a strong portable demand and no fixed office space, then the iPad is especially suitable for you, in addition, even if it is a student, I feel that the iPad is not very necessary, it is better to buy a MacBook that is about the same, and the productivity is much stronger.
Next, analyze the reasons,First of all, the original configuration does not have a keyboard,It is destined that the interaction mode of the iPad is mainly based on click control,With Apple Pencil also shows that it is not suitable for long-term productivity work,Divorced from the mouse, a major invention of this century,It is difficult to rise to the level of productivity。
And considering the software ecology of the iPad, even if the configuration of the iPad is close to the desktop-level M processor+16G, but there is no supporting professional software, the iPad Pro is useless in the performance of the iPad now, which can be called Lu Bu riding a dog.
So if you're not a photographer using your iPad to write, draw, preview, or freelance writer, save some money.
