The upgraded flagship tablets are still on course to get the wireless charging technology, according to reports.
It looks likely that there will be an iPad Pro 2022 making an appearance at some point this year, and new details have emerged about one of the new features that could be added this year – namely, MagSafe wireless charging. It’s a feature we’ve seen on recent iPhones, and according to 9to5Mac it could be added to the iPad Pro this time around. However, it won’t be implemented in quite the same way as it is on the iPhone, and Apple is having difficulty developing an iPad Pro with a fully glass back to enable wireless charging. Instead, it seems that Apple is working on a prototype tablet with an Apple logo on the back made of glass. This would mean that the rest of the tablet chassis can be made of aluminum, but MagSafe will be able to work through the logo. Reports of the next iPad Pro supporting MagSafe have been swirling around for months, but 9to5Mac says that the original glass back design «may have been scrapped» because it would make the device too fragile – hence the alternative design with the large glass logo.
