If paying over 1000 Euros for a smartphone sounds crazy to you, wait and see what it will cost you to pay for a giant iPad. You will hallucinate!

We recently learned an interesting and intriguing piece of news that reveals that Apple may be planning to launch an iPad with a 16-inch display by the end of 2023. So how much money can a tablet of this size cost?

In 2022, we saw how Apple marketed the most expensive iPad in history for over 3,000 euros. Then we will try to decipher What would be the economic cost of an iPad with a 16-inch screen?.

A giant screen iPad, a (very expensive) dream come true

I remember holding the 9.7-inch iPad Pro for the first time. It looked huge, huge. A large touchscreen display to fully immerse yourself in enjoying multimedia content, crazy video games and exciting reading.

Years later, Apple came up with the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro series. Oh, that was something else! After getting used to it, I held a 9.7-inch iPad in my hand again and… it looked like an iPad mini! It looked so small, so maneuverable, so small…

The same would happen if the company with the bitten apple logo launched an iPad Pro with a huge 16-inch display. It may seem huge at first, but over time users will get used to its size..

Now, not everything is an advantage. There would be some obstacles. Some physically unavoidable limits this somewhat hampers the user experience of such a bulky iPad. Can you imagine holding a 16-inch tablet with both hands and trying to type on the keyboard? Practically impossible.

On the other hand, there is the economic problem. An iPad Pro with a 12.9-inch display that currently costs 2TB of storage 3,024 €How much could a 16-inch iPad with the same specs cost?

The base price of a 16-inch iPad Pro, following in the footsteps of previous-generation iPads, is approx. 2.000 euros. So much so that the model with the most advanced technical features can easily reach a price of approximately 1.25 TL. 4,000 euros.

Add to that, of course, a Magic Mouse for 100 euros, a Magic Keyboard for over 400 euros and perhaps other peripherals and accessories such as covers or adapters. Because a 16-inch iPad is like a computer… or might it not?

iPad is an iPad and Mac is a Mac

As of 2020, the signature bitten apple logo has added a trackpad to Magic Keyboard and mouse compatibility on the iPad Pro lineup. While these innovations give tablets an added bonus of versatility, they’re still not (nor do they look like) a computer. And an iPad is an iPad and a Mac is a Mac.

It’s true that everything indicates that in the not-too-distant future we may see the release of a macOS and iPadOS hybrid. But until then You have to know the limitations and differences between iPad and Mac..

As big as an iPad with a 16-inch screen, unfortunately that doesn’t make it a computer. However, yes It will focus on artists, professionals and workers who use iPad in their work environment and more tedious tasks.. It would be an ideal instrument for video editing, for example, and it would be a great pleasure to sit on such a huge iPad and edit videos. Of course, with good support for an iPad of this size.

If the rumors are true, having a 16-inch iPad will be a real miracle when it comes to performing multiple tasks such as browsing the web, playing multimedia content or, as we say, working on projects more comfortably.

2023’s 16-inch iPad won’t be for all audiences…

Concept of different iPad Pro models

Also, a 16-inch iPad will mostly be an iPad for home use. I eat a lot at the office but don’t move from there. Doesn’t have as good portability or maneuverability as the iPad minimuch more to the street, to the classroom, to work, to relatives’ homes, etc. that it is possible to take

all these reasons will limit their market share. It wouldn’t be an iPad for any user. But the same thing happens with more expensive devices like the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR display, so that shouldn’t be an issue.

Today, we still have plenty of time to discover even more news from the company’s supply chain that will bring us closer to the rumors about Apple.

It’s interesting to remember that the larger an iPad’s screen, the more room there is to combine. a bigger battery, a processor with a more powerful chip and other more advanced hardware innovations and yes, of course the price will be higher too.

But can you imagine how enjoyable it is to watch a Netflix series on such a screen? And if it was an OLED screen, turn it off and let’s go. This would be an excellent tablet, even if it’s a misnomer in the tech world, because advances and improvements keep coming, taking excellence to a new level.

What we have to admit is that it is an iPad highly desired by many users. I remember concepts popping up for TV-sized iPad models even before the 12.9-inch iPad Pro was released. God, we can’t wait for Apple to dare to sell. 16 inch iPad!

What do you think about the possible arrival of a 16-inch iPad Pro in 2023? Would you buy a similarly sized tablet even if it was very expensive?
