Cupertino-based tech giant Apple is reportedly planning to launch iPad Pro with the rumoured M2 chip sometime between September and November of this year.

According to Apple tracker Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter, Apple did not launch new iPad Pros this month at its "Peek Performance" event, it is reasonable to now expect new models to arrive between September and November this year.

The upcoming iPad Pro, coming with 11-inch and 12.9-inch display versions, will be among the range of devices that Apple plans to launch later this fall.

The iPhone maker is experimenting with at least one 2022 iPad Pro prototype with MagSafe on board.

The Cupertino-based tech giant will keep the metal back and will add a large glass Apple logo. The Apple logo made of glass would be the exact point to charge with the MagSafe wireless charging.

Meanwhile, driven by strong 5G upgrades for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series, Apple reached the 60 per cent sales share mark globally last year -- for the first time since 2017.

The delayed launch of Apple devices in 2020 also pushed demand to 2021.

Apple has filed a new patent with the US Patent And Trademark Office related to a new kind of iPad keyboard accessory that will allow an iPad to function as a MacBook Pro.

According to Patently Apple, a new patent granted the Cupertino-based company shows a hinged keyboard mechanism that could provide the keyboard environment and support that will effectively allow an iPad to function as a MacBook Pro.

The keyboard looks like an accessory with a base and a coupling mechanism. The base has the keyboard, including a set of electromechanical keys.

According to the patent, the "accessory device may include a coupling mechanism for releasably coupling the base portion of the accessory device to a tablet computing device in multiple different installation modes. The coupling mechanism may define an attachment interface for retaining the tablet computing device to the base portion".

Future Apple iPads that are likely to sport up to 15-inch OLED displays might not be possible till 2024.

Apple has abandoned plans for an OLED iPad this year, citing media reports GizmoChina reported on Tuesday.

Sources have stated that the reason behind this decision was Samsung's inability to provide the OLED displays according to Apple quality requirements at a workable price, the report said.

The tech giant wants the OLED panels to have two stack tandem structures, with two emission layers, instead of the conventional single-stack structure.
