A rumor has linked the 2022 iPad Pro with the addition of wireless charging and MagSafe technology, along with indications a new iPad Mini is still coming.
The next Apple iPad Pro may have a glass back rather than a metal one to facilitate the introduction of wireless charging, and also incorporate the company’s MagSafe technology according to a new rumor. As reported by Bloomberg, it’s also stated Apple is still working on a new version of the iPad Mini, and a wireless charging platform that may not need direct contact with a device to charge it. A switch to glass on the 2022 version of the iPad Pro would bring the tablet closer in style to recent Apple iPhone models, as would adding MagSafe. Wireless charging isn’t common on tablets, even after first being seen on the Huawei MatePad Pro in 2020, but is definitely a helpful feature. The report also says Apple may add a reverse charging feature, where the tablet’s large battery cell could wirelessly deliver power to another device, such as an iPhone, Apple Watch, or wireless charging AirPods.
