Apple 16-inch iPad Iaunch sooner than expected - All you need to know

Apple iPad launch: After launching 10-inch iPad recently, the US-based tech giant Apple is reportedly developing a larger 16-inch iPad that it hopes to release in the fourth quarter of 2023. This would be the largest-ever iPad model, topping the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, a new report said. 

According to MacRumors, a 16-inch iPad would likely be geared toward creative professionals such as graphic artists and designers who prefer a larger screen. "No additional details were provided about the prospective device, which would have the same screen size as a 16-inch MacBook Pro, providing users with a significantly larger canvas to work with," the report added. 

Additionally, it will be useful for users who want to use Stage Manager, an iPadOS 16 feature that is designed to make switching between apps simpler. The company's watcher, Mark Gurman, recently suggested a larger device might arrive within the next year or two, the report said.

Ross Young, a supply chain analyst, backed up the forecast and predicted a 14.1-inch iPad Pro with Mini LEDs and a ProMotion display might be available as early as next year. Recently, another report had said that the global technology brand might launch its first foldable iPad rather than iPhone in 2024. It was forecasted that the iPhone maker began experimenting with foldable technology.

The company was exploring foldable technology for displays of around 20-inches in size. According to the report, if Apple encountered any technical difficulties with the foldable phone, there would be a "feeding frenzy" among haters who would blame the tech giant for the flaws.
