Future of iPads Pro
iPad Pro, like iPhone Pro, must stake its claim as a powerhouse device.
The iPad Pro, like the iPhone Pro, tries to appeal to two groups at once: premium users and hardcore users. The result is a thin, light iPad that struggles to perform like a real computer.
Following the iPhone 17 series model, Apple could position the iPad Air as a high-end option in a thin, light, and stylish package for general users looking for a premium experience.
This would free the iPad Pro to be thicker and heavier, allowing it to offer longer battery life, high-end performance, and potentially include exclusive pro software and hardware features for podcasting, video editing, and even software development.
This way, the iPad Pro becomes a true creation and production device for power users, while the iPad Air offers a premium consumption device for everyone else.
