Apple is prepping the next-generation version of the iPad Pro for release this year. In 2022, both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch versions of the iPad Pro will feature a mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR.
Apple calls the mini-LED display of the iPad Pro a “Liquid Retina XDR display” that offers improved dynamic range with true-to-life details, vivid colors, and HDR. The current display in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro uses over 10,000 LEDs across the back of the display, allowing for up to 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness, 1,600 nits of peak brightness, and a 1 million-to-1 contrast ratio.
With the update, the higher-quality mini-LED display will no longer be limited to Apple’s largest and most expensive tablet.
The M2 chip will be used in 2022 versions of the MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and of course, the iPad Pros. It will have the same 7 to 8-core CPU [as the current M1], but it is expected to have updated 9 to 10-core GPU options…
Along with MagSafe wireless charging, the next-generation iPad Pro could support reverse wireless charging capabilities, which would let the iPad be used to charge iPhones, AirPods, and other accessories by laying them on the back of the iPad.
MacDailyNews Take: In 2022, we’ll still be waiting for an even larger iPad Pro display, but that could finally come as soon as 2023 with the introduction of the first OLED iPad pro.

Censorship and lock-in?
The current M1 has an 8 core CPU. It is the cheapest MBA that has a 7-core GPU, with the higher models having the 8 core GPU
Great to see better and better hardware but, the lesser models are just fine until the software catches up.
