Why wait to buy the iPad Pro?
The new iPad Pros are rumored to be announced in October 2022, or soon after. No major overhauls or many new features are planned, but it should move from the M1 chip to the M2 chip.
Can you imagine spending $1,000 / MXN 30,000 or more on an iPad Pro only to have a faster model come out two or three weeks later? It’s better to hold on a little longer.
Verdict: WAIT
Naturally, we won’t know for sure if the next iPad Pro is actually on the way until Apple officially announces it. However, rumors suggest that in October they will be updated with the M2 chip. It’s been 18 months since the last update, so it was about time.
