On April 12th, it was announced that Apple's iPadOS 17.5 beta version has been officially released. Developers exploring the beta's code have uncovered that the new iPad Pro will feature an OLED display, marking the first time in Apple's history that a tablet device will utilize this technology.

Reports indicate that the iPadOS 17.5 beta code has revealed four new iPad devices, identified as iPad16,3, iPad16,4, iPad16,5, and iPad16,6. This discovery suggests that the next generation of iPad Pro will be available in two different sizes, with both sizes offering options for Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity.

Previous rumors have hinted at the new iPad Pro coming in 11-inch and 13-inch variants. The OLED panels for the 11-inch model are said to be supplied by LG Display and Samsung, while the 13-inch model will exclusively feature OLED panels from LG Display.

In addition to the display upgrades, Apple is also set to launch a new generation of the Apple Pencil and a Magic Keyboard.

It's anticipated that Apple will release the iPad Pro in the second week of May, without a traditional launch event, opting instead for a direct release to market. s_b12af95c7f1f4f2a956ac828bd7a2918.png
