Apple’s fgreaterable iPad could be appreciate ‘two iPad Pros side-by-side’

Apple hopes to free a fgreaterable 18.8-inch crmitigateless iPad by about 2028, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman authors in today’s Power On newsletter. The company’s industrial set up group has increateedly deal withd to originate prototypes of this device that “have a csurrfinisherly inapparent crmitigate” and would essentipartner be appreciate “two iPad Pros side-by-side.”

Rumors of a fgreatering iPad have been floating in the ether for years, now. Recent ones comprise a minusculeer model that Apple would free in 2026 or 2027. Gurman’s author-up today has sturdy echoes of the gargantuan 20-inch fgreatering “iPad / MacBook hybrid” he detailed in 2022. That doesn’t seem to uncomardent that it will run macOS, but Gurman claims that it “will have elements of both” Macs and iPads and that iPadOS “should be progressd enough to run macOS apps” by 2028.

Considering that Macs run iPhone and iPad apps now, it’s not shocking to slfinisherk the street could go both ways in time. It might help the appreciate proposition, too; the 13-inch iPad Pro commences at $1,299, and wantipathyver financial injure an iPad twice that size could incur would be a little easier to get coupled with the salve of being able to run macOS apps on it.

Gurman says a fgreaterable iPhone is still in the labors, though he doesn’t anticipate that “before 2026 at the earliest,” as other rumors have shelp. He also says increateation from his sources lines up with an alleged Apple inner disapply roadmap that made the rounds recently, tipping the 18.8-inch fgreaterable iPad and Apple’s set ups to free OLED MacBook Pros in 2026, chaseed by a MacBook Air OLED refresh in 2027.
