The next-generation version of iPad Pro, scheduled for 2024, will likely support MagSafe charging. The news comes from a company familiar with making magnets for Apple products, and while it hasn't been confirmed at the moment, there have been rumors in the past that Apple is working on a design revamp for the iPad to support wireless charging.
Back in 2021, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said that Apple was considering equipping the 2022 iPad Pro with a glass back panel for wireless charging. In particular, Gurman said that Apple is testing the "MagSafe" system for the "iPad Pro". The 2022 iPad Pro models don't have wireless charging, a glass back, or noticeable design changes, but it's possible that Apple will put the feature in a future release.
The all-new 11. with OLED displayThe 1-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models are scheduled for 2024, and the devices are expected to get a design update as part of the update process. Apple hasn't updated the look of the iPad Pro in years, and it should get a complete overhaul next year.
As part of the OLED update, Apple may be planning to launch an iPad Pro with a glass back in 2024, but this news has not been confirmed. Similar to the iPhone, the glass back will make the "iPad Pro" more susceptible to damage in the event of a drop, but it will also allow the use of new wireless accessories and a universal "Magsafe" charger for the "iPhone" and "iPad". The iPad may also work with a 15W magnetic QI2 charger being developed by a third-party manufacturer.
The 15W MagSafe will charge slower than USB-C wired charging, as will the iPhone, but it will provide Apple device users with more charging options in some scenarios where there is no charging cable.
It's also possible that the "Magsafe" we hear about charging the "iPad" is also referring to a Mac-like corded charger rather than an iPhone-style wireless magnetic charger. Apple is working on an aluminum Magic Keyboard that is more like a Mac for the iPad Pro coming in 2024,**The iPad will also use the same M3 chip as the MacBook Pro.
