These 2022 iPad Pro rumors put those of you in the hunt for a new tablet in a tough position: Upgrade now or wait. While there are some great reasons to buy a new tablet right now, there are also some great reasons to hang around and wait for the 2022 iPad Pros.

Wait for Wireless Charging

1 / 10

Gurman and Wu claim the new iPad Pros will feature wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

Currently, Apple's iPads charge via USB-C or Lightning. If Apple brings wireless charging to the iPad line, it would bring it closer to the iPhone. Newer iPhone models can all be charged wirelessly.

The other major change could be reverse wireless charging. This would allow iPad Pro owners to use their device to charge other devices like iPhones and AirPods by laying them on the back of the iPad.

This is a feature that was rumored for Apple's iPhone 11 series. The feature was reportedly explored before it was killed off.

If either of these features sounds interesting to you, you might want to hang back and wait for the 2022 iPad Pro models.
