  "textContent": "Apple's iPad Pro is likely to be left for years without a major update, according to a reliable leaker.\n\n\nThe Weibo-based leaker, known as \"Instant Digital,\" says that the ‌iPad Pro‌ will not have a major update for a prolonged period of time. The cost of the OLED panel now used in the device is unlikely to come down in price and the last major redesign apparently did not significantly stimulate sales growth.\n\nWhile Apple may maintain a regular iteration cycle with the device, it apparently has no intention of pursuing significant upgrades such as ultra-slim borders around the display, the likes of which are available on rival high-end tablets.\n\nIn 2024, Apple introduced the first major redesign of the device since 2018. Apple added the M5 chip to it in October 2025, along with some minor connectivity upgrades.\n\nThe ‌iPad Pro‌ is likely to gain the M6 chip and iPhone 17 Pro-style vapor chamber cooling at some point toward the end of 2026 or in 2027, but there have been no other rumors about the future of the product line.\n\nRelated Roundup: iPad Pro\n\nTag: Instant Digital\n\nBuyer's Guide: iPad Pro (Buy Now)\n\n\nThis article, \"Apple May Leave iPad Pro Without Major Upgrades for Years\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
