Apple purportedly ditches plans for a 14-inch iPad (at least for 2023)

Display analyst tells MacRumors that Apple purportedly has abandoned plans for a 14-inch iPad, at least for now. He says such a device has been canceled entirely or significantly delayed.

This year the rumor mill was abuzz about an even bigger iPad. A June report said such a device wouldn’t have ProMotion. 

ProMotion is Apple’s name for the adaptive, high refresh rate, 120Hz display first available on the iPad Pro. While a standard refresh rate will update a display 60 times a second (60Hz), the ProMotion’s adaptive 120Hz screen works at twice this speed. This results in smoother scrolling, improved responsiveness and better gaming performance. 

In June Majin Bu, a Twitter leaker, and display analyst Ross Young both tweeted that Apple would release an even bigger iPad Pro next year.

From Bu’s tweet: According to my resource, Apple is developing a new 14.1-inch iPad M2 with 512GB and 16GB of base memory.  The new M2 line is expected to include a new 11-inch model with no major changes, a new 12.9 model with reduced bezels and this new 14.1 iPad.
