Report: Apple planning 16-inch iPad


A new report suggests Apple is working on even larger iPads. The current iPad Pro tops out at a 12.9-inch display. The new device could measure up to 16-inches. This would give the iPad a display option as large as the largest MacBook Pro.

The Information via 9 to 5 Mac:

The device would further blur the line between the iPad and MacBook, bringing the tablet's screen size in line with that of Apple's largest laptop, which also features a 16-inch display. Apple's biggest iPad currently sports a 12.9-inch screen.

A 16-inch iPad would likely be geared toward creative professionals such as graphic artists and designers who prefer a larger screen.

Such a large tablet would be difficult to wrangle but would seem nice to use for photography and graphic design with an Apple Pencil. Wacom's Cintiq Pro line of tablet displays starts at 16-inches, so there seems to be a market for large-format tablets.
