Rumors (hopes?) of an iPad Max or Ultra, an even bigger version of Apple’s tablet, has been around since 2022. Speculation has hinted at the possibility of an iPad sporting a 14-inch or even 16-inch display.
The video from Matt Talks Tech gives us more details on the latest iPad Max/Ultra rumors. You can find a link to the video at Geeky Gadgets.
Two years ago, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said that Apple was considering iPads with bigger screens. Apple’s biggest iPad — an iPad Pro — tops out with a display size of 12.9 inches. Should the company consider a 14-inch (or bigger) model? September 2020 research from Strategy Analytics hints the tech giant should.
The research group says that consumers have been buying tablets at the fastest rate in six years. As a result global sales are expected to increase 1% year-on-year to 160.8 million units in 2020. Strategy Analytics’ analysis also shows that consumers are switching to larger displays, with a majority now larger than 10 inches for the first time.
Of course, some folks find the 12.9-inch iPad Pro too awkward for use as a tablet. I don’t. And if I could truly use my Apple tablet as a desktop replacement, a super-sized iPad Pro would appeal to me. However, since I can’t due to the laminations of the iPadOS, 15 or 16 inches would probably be too big for me to use the device in watching movies, reading books, surfing the web, etc.
However, if Apple released an iPad Max/Ultra with a 16-inch display and running macOS, I’d be all in.
What about you? Would you like an iPad Pro Max?
