Users who plan to switch to a new generation of iPad Pro in the future may start saving money now, because it is rumored that the price of the new generation of iPad Pro will increase by 80%. The price starts from US$1800, which is equivalent to HK$14,129. The MacBook Pro is priced a lot higher.
The new generation of iPad Pro 11″ and 12.9″ will increase by 80% and 60% respectively, and the price starts from US$1,500 and US$1,800, equivalent to HK$11,774 and HK$14,129. The reason for the price increase is that it is rumored that the new generation of iPad Pro will use top-notch OLED screens, including the application of dual-stack series (two light-emitting layers) structure, low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) mixed OLED structure (glass Substrate + film) packaging), the cost of the screen alone has reached US$270 and US$350 (HK$2,119 and HK$2,747), which is 2-3 times higher than the cost of ordinary OLED screen panels.
In recent years, the positioning of iPad Pro and MacBook has become increasingly blurred. When iPad Pro is priced higher than MacBook Pro, how will everyone choose?
