iPad Pro With 14.1-Inch Display, M3 Pro SoC Tipped to Debut Next Year, Could Run on iPadOS 17
Apple unveiled new iPad Pro models powered by the M2 processor in October last year. Now, the Cupertino-based company is reportedly working on a bigger iPad Pro model. Ahead of any formal announcement, a leak offers insight into the specifications of the flagship tablet. The upcoming iPad Pro is said to boast a 14.1-inch display. Apple’s M3 Pro processor, which could go official next year, is expected to power the tablet. Apple is reportedly readying a special version of iPadOS for the tablet as well. With this operating system, the 14.1-inch iPad Pro could support two external 6K displays at 60Hz refresh rate.
Tipster 941 (@analyst941) on Twitter claimed that Apple is working on an iPad Pro model with a 14.1-inch display. The model could come equipped with an M3 Pro chip and is said to be launched next year.
In a separate tweet, he stated that Apple is developing a “special version of the iPadOS 17 system for the upcoming larger iPad Pro/Ultra/Studio model(s)”. He adds that the 14.1-inch iPad Pro model can run two 6K displays simultaneously with up to 60Hz refresh rate. The tablet is said to use Thunderbolt 4 interface to bring this functionality. The outgoing iPad Pro equipped with M2 processor can connect a single external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz.
However, Apple has not officially revealed any details about a larger iPad model yet, so this information should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Apple’s current iPad Pro lineup includes two models with 11-inch and 12.9-inch displays. The 11-inch model has a Liquid Retina display with a 1,688×2,388 pixel resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120Hz with ProMotion.

They are available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB storage configurations
Price of the 11-inch iPad Pro (2022) starts at Rs. 81,900 for the Wi-Fi model in India. In contrast, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2022) has a starting price tag of Rs. 1,12,900 for the Wi-Fi model.
