Nästa iPad Pro kan ha den bästa OLED-skärmen hittills, men den blir dyr
Nästa omgång av iPad Pro-surfplattor från Apple, som förväntas släppas nästa år, kan bli den dyraste hittills, tack vare inkluderingen av en ryktad skärmuppgradering. Efter iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) (Öppnas i ny flik) och den mindre – men för övrigt nästan identiska iPad Pro 11 (2022) förväntas Apple släppa ytterligare två nya iPad Pro-modeller nästa år. När de lanseras kommer vi sannolikt att se Apples bästa iPad (Öppnas i ny flik) -surfplattor få några uppgraderingar när det gäller deras processorer och funktionsuppsättningar.
