At the end of each year, technology companies launch their new products, which has now become a standardized practice in the industry. In fact, these companies announce their new products months in advance and try to attract the attention of consumers with official promotional events.
However, this is not enough to ward off rumors. Almost every day, a new claim is made in the backstage. This time, the claim is quite interesting: The new iPad Pro will go through a small design change to enable it to be connected to more equipment.
4 pin input is coming
The three-pin input, located on the back of the iPad Pros currently on the market, allows accessories such as the Magic Keyboard to be used with the tablet. Rumors have it that this year’s iPad Pro models will offer a wider variety with support for accessories like MagSafe.
On the other hand, according to the claim of the company named Macotakara, the new iPad Pro design will have a similar general design and chassis. However, Apple will not offer a tablet that looks exactly the same, 4-pin connections will be placed on the top and bottom of the device.
Although it is not clear what the four-pin connection will be used for at the moment, the allegations are that these pins will be found for the Thunderbolt/USB-C port. In addition, with iPadOS 16, device manufacturers will be able to develop hardware for the iPad Pro. These equipment can also be connected from these inputs. Currently, iPad Pros use a 3-pin connection, while Mac uses a 5-pin connection. Could it be that Apple will offer a new connection model in the new era?
