Apple is working on a new version of the iPad Pro that is set to launch as soon as March, and the refresh will mark the biggest design update to the Pro lineup since 2018.
Apple is transitioning to OLED displays, and the swap will allow for a major change to the overall thickness of the device. CAD drawings of the upcoming ~11-inch and ~13-inch iPad Pro models give us some insight into just how thin the tablets will be.
11-inch 2024 iPad Pro
CAD drawings of unreleased Apple devices often leak out of Apple's factories in China and other countries because the information is so valuable to case makers. Case makers use these measurements to design cases for new products in order to be the first to market with a protective case for a new device size.
13-inch 2024 iPad Pro
Previously leaked dimensions confirmed that the upcoming OLED iPad Pro models will be significantly thinner than the current versions. The larger iPad Pro, for example, will be over 1mm thinner.
Current 11-inch iPad Pro - 247.6mm x 178.5mm x 5.9 mm
Upcoming ~11-inch iPad Pro - 249.7mm x 177.5mm x 5.1mm
Current 12.9-inch iPad Pro - 280.6mm x 214.9mm x 6.4mm
Upcoming ~13-inch iPad Pro - 281.5mm x 215.5mm x 5.0mm
OLED displays will bring improved HDR, better colors, deeper blacks, and other quality improvements. Apple has so far limited OLED technology to the Apple Watch and iPhone, so this will be the first time that OLED displays have been available in an Apple device of this size.
Apple's iPad Pro models are also expected to be upgraded with faster 3-nanometer M3 chips, and MagSafe charging is a possibility. Apple is also expected to sell the devices with a new Magic Keyboard and an upgraded Apple Pencil, with full details available in our OLED iPad Pro guide.

HTX Studio this week shared the results from a six-month battery test that compared how fast charging and slow charging can affect battery life over time.
Using six iPhone 12 models, the channel set up a system to drain the batteries from five percent and charge them to 100 percent over and over again. Three were fast charged, and three were slow charged.
Another set of iPhones underwent...
The larger iPad Pro already has durability concerns... unless they are reinforcing the design by making changes internally, or changes to the materials composition, I don't think this is going to do too well if not handled very carefully.
I actually bought an iPad Air 5 a couple years ago and returned it as it was actually creaking when I picked it up and moved it... the Apple rep didn't seem surprised when I mentioned it and my iPad Air 4 by comparison was rock solid and has never creaked, even now.
And those are smaller than the larger iPad Pro
I guess people would prefer they keep the current design and fill with more battery if possible.. as iPads have actually lagged MacBooks now for quite some time on the battery life metric.
I was at the Apple store and I told them I didn't like it and the rep said "you're right, our stuff is crap" and then everyone clapped. That rep's name? Steve Jobs.
