As for the iPad Pro, expect Apple to go all out with an M3 CPU, an OLED screen, and design changes to match the inevitable price rise for the series.

The iPads will be further supported by the new Apple Pencil 3 version, which is expected to enable USB-C for charging and other cutting-edge features that make it the ideal partner for the iPad Pro and Air versions.
