We recently learned some interesting and curious news that revealed that Apple may be planning to launch an iPad with a 16-inch screen in late 2023. But how much money could a tablet of these dimensions cost?

I remember the first time I held a 9.7-inch iPad Pro. It seemed huge, colossal. A large touchscreen to fully immerse yourself in to enjoy multimedia content, frantic video games and exciting reading.
Years later, Apple ventured out with the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro line. Oh, that was something else! After getting used to it, I held a 9.7 inch iPad in my hands again and… it felt like an iPad mini! He looked so small, so handy, so small…
The same would happen if the company with the bitten apple logo launched an iPad Pro with a huge 16-inch screen. At first, it would seem huge, but over time, users would eventually get used to its size..
Now, not everything is benefits. There would be obstacles. Some physically unavoidable limits it would slightly hamper the user experience of such a bulky iPad. Can you imagine holding a 16-inch tablet with two hands and trying to type on the keyboard? Virtually unachievable.
On the other hand, there is the economic question. If currently an iPad Pro with a 12.9-inch screen with 2TB of storage costs $3,024How much can a 16-inch iPad cost with the same features?
Following in the footsteps of previous iPad generations, the base price of a 16-inch iPad Pro would be around 2,000 dollars. So that the model with the most advanced technical specifications could easily reach a price of 4,000 dollars.
To this, of course, we must add the cost of a Magic Mouse for 100 dollars, a Magic Keyboard for more than 400 dollars and perhaps other peripherals and accessories such as covers or adapters. Because a 16-inch iPad is like a computer… or maybe not?
An iPad is an iPad and a Mac is a Mac
The Magic Keyboard for iPad, the first official with a trackpad.
As of 2020, the signature bitten apple logo is integrating a trackpad with Magic Keyboard and mouse compatibility into its iPad Pro range. . And that is that an iPad is an iPad and a Mac is a Mac.
It is true that everything seems to indicate that in the not too distant future, we could end up seeing a hybrid of macOS and iPadOS landing on the market. But meanwhile you need to know the limitations and differences between an iPad and a Mac.
As big as an iPad with a 16-inch screen, unfortunately that doesn’t make it a computer. However, yes It will be focused on artists, professionals and workers who use the iPad in their work environment and more tedious tasks. In video editing, for example, it would be an ideal instrument for that and it would be a great pleasure to sit down to edit videos on such a gigantic iPad. Of course, with good support for an iPad of this size.
If the rumors are true, having a 16-inch iPad will be a real wonder when it comes to carrying out many tasks such as browsing the web, playing media content or, as we said, working on… projects with more comfort.
The 16-inch iPad of 2023 will not be aimed at all audiences…
Concept of different iPad Pro models
Also, a 16-inch iPad would primarily be a home-use iPad. I eat a lot at the office, but I don’t move from there. Doesn’t have as good portability or maneuverability as an iPad minithat it is possible to take a lot more of it on the street, to take it to class, to work, to relatives, etc.
all these reasons would limit their market share. It wouldn’t be an iPad for just any user. But the same thing happens with other even more expensive devices like the Mac Pro and its Pro Display XDR screen, so in that sense there would be no problem.
Today we still have plenty of time to discover many more news that will – more than likely – bring us closer to the company’s supply chain Apple rumors.
It is worth remembering that the larger the screen of an iPad, the more space there is to integrate a bigger battery, a processor with a more powerful chip and other more advanced hardware innovations, and yes, of course, its price will also be higher.
But can you imagine how blissful it must be to watch a Netflix series on a screen like this? And if it was an OLED screen, turn it off and go. It would be the perfect tablet, although that’s a misnomer in the tech world, as advancements and improvements keep coming out all the time, taking perfection to a new level.
What we have to take for granted is that this is an iPad that is highly sought after by many users. I remember the concept iPad models as big as a TV coming out even before the 12.9-inch iPad Pro was released. My God, we can’t wait for Apple to dare to sell a iPad 16 inch!
What do you think of the possible arrival of a 16-inch iPad Pro in 2023? Would you buy a tablet of similar dimensions even if it is very expensive?
