Apple's New iPad Pro Might Come With MagSafe Charging Glass Logo: Report

Apple is said to be experimenting with at least one 2022 iPad Pro prototype with MagSafe on board.





American tech giant Apple has never been particularly chatty when it comes to future plans and RnD. Still, most analysts believe that updated vanilla iPad and iPad Air, as well as new Pro models can be expected in 2022.

The question of wireless charging has been a topic for discussion basically since Apple unveiled its MagSafe wireless charging tech for the iPhone. As per GSM Arena, the latest chatter from industry insiders suggests, Apple is already experimenting with at least one 2022 iPad Pro prototype with MagSafe on board.

Sources claim that the company was particularly hesitant about swapping out the iPad's traditional metal back for a glass one in order to facilitate wireless charging.

Instead, the proposed solution is a large glass Apple logo, akin to that on the latest MacBook models. The prototype allegedly also has beefier magnets to prevent accidental detachment.

People wonder whether Apple is actually planning or if it's even possible to use the MagSafe magnet mounting system in a more general fashion as a way to attach accessories like keyboards and stands to the iPad in a seamless and clean way.

That would be quite interesting to see, particularly for keyboards since some users have been complaining of excessive battery drain from an attached Magic Keyboard. Perhaps newer models will be designed to charge the tablet in some way, as a dock of sorts, rather than leech off its battery.

Speaking of battery, most sources agree that the next iPad Pro will likely have a larger pack on board. Also on the potential list of new additions, a camera module similar to that on the iPhone 13, potentially new and brighter double-stacked OLED panels. Perhaps even ones with a notch to unify the aesthetic with the MacBook line.

Though, that last one thankfully hasn't popped up in the rumor mill nearly as often. There might even be the debut of an Apple M2 chip. After all Apple experienced a nice uptick in iPad sales in Q4 so it might just make sense to refine them even more aggressively.

At least the Pro models, that is, the new Mini seems to be stepping on the toes of the iPhone 13 and its sales, so no major movement is expected there, as per GSM Arena. ( By Pankaj Prajapati )

Redmi Note 11S First Impressions: When Specs Trump Design

  Xiaomi's smartphone portfolio is a bit confusing at the moment, as the company continues to launch new phones at a rapid pace. The latest additions include the Redmi Note 11 and the Redmi Note 11S which  fill out a new Redmi 11 generation. We don't yet have new Pro or Pro Max models in this new series to replace the wildly popular Redmi Note 10 Pro (Review) at its price level, but the new Redmi Note 11S, which we'll be looking at today, could offer what you're looking for but at a lower price. The Redmi Note 11S is a 4G-only smartphone and its crowning feature is its 108-megapixel main camera. It's worth noting that Xiaomi has managed to offer this at a very aggressive starting price of just Rs. 16,499. The rest of the Redmi Note 11S's features are also in line with what one would expect from a phone in this segment in 2022. While there's still a lot of testing to be done before our full review is ready, here's a quick first look ...
