The OLED iPad Pro is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. As we can't wait excitedly for this upcoming tablet, there are some features that are almost confirmed that this iPad will have. In this article, we'll look at the features we can guarantee will be available when this iPad Pro OLED launches.
The 2024 iPad Pro will have an OLED screen
By far, this is the most obvious feature of the 2024 iPad Pro. Rumors about the OLED display switch have been around for at least a year. BGR It has been repeatedly reported that Apple is preparing this update. With this, Apple will exchange LCD and miniLED displays for OLED.

The OLED iPad Pro is also expected to be brighter and improve color accuracy, while also making this device thinner, as OLED needs fewer panels than miniLED and LCD. More recently, a rumor suggested that Apple might offer a nanotexture-like option for this iPad, but we can't say that will happen for sure.
Landscape front camera
Another almost confirmed feature is Apple's change in the position of the front camera. While the iPad will always have the FaceTime camera on the top of the tablet when facing vertically, the company plans to switch to landscape orientation.

This change was first added to the iPad 10 in 2022. Now, it has been discovered with the iOS 17.4 code that Apple is working on the iPad Pro OLED with a landscape Face ID camera. The beta files suggested just that, as the setup process was rewritten: “Face ID needs to be visible to learn how to recognize you,” says a new system string. “During Face ID setup, the iPad needs to be in landscape with the camera at the top of the screen. Once setup is complete, Face ID works in portrait and landscape,” says another message.
M3 will power the next iPad Pro
Since the 2022 iPad Pro features the M2 chip, it's safe to assume that Apple will add the M3 processor. With the transition to Apple Silicon chips for Mac, Apple added all the basic processors to the iPad Pro, as it featured the M1 chip and then the M2. Therefore, it is natural that the M3 processor is next.
Since no other rumors have suggested that Apple might add an M2 Pro or M2 Max chip to this iPad, the M3 will likely power it, as this processor is powering the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac. With this new chip, the iPad Pro will add new GPU features like hardware ray tracing. The M3 processor also features Dynamic Caching and Mesh Shading for gaming.
Accessory renewal
With the announcement of the OLED iPad Pro, we can expect new accessories. While we don't know much about them, we do have some hints that make these updates very interesting. For Magic Keyboard, BloombergMark Gurman hopes it will look even more like a laptop.
For the Apple Pencil, a report expects Apple to enable the Find My feature. While it's unclear whether it will work as an AirTag or a MagSafe wallet, it will be easier to figure out if the Pencil was left behind.
Wrap up
These are four of the iPad Pro's OLED features that are all but confirmed to be coming to this device. Still, we hear a lot more about this product. Below you can discover all the rumors about it.
