Without a doubt next year we will have new iPads. There are many analysts who have presented their information regarding Apple's launches for the year 2024 and they all agree that the renewal of the iPad range in the first half of the year. However, we still do not know realistic information about the news of each of these devices. A few hours ago a rumor was published in which it was said that Apple is working on a MagSafe wireless charging system, like the one available on the iPhone, which could arrive very soon on the iPad. Will 2024 be soon for this novelty?
Will wireless charging come to iPads?
This rumor is not new, but it is notable, especially considering that we have not talked about it for years. In 2021, the first signs began to appear that Apple was working on bringing the MagSafe charging system to iPads. The key complication of all that integration was build the back of the iPad out of glass. And that was seen to bring a multitude of fragility problems, that is why the performance was postponed.
However, a new source related to the magnets that Apple usually uses in iPhones for MagSafe charging has leaked that They would be working on MagSafe wireless charging for iPads. This new charge would allow users to have one more option to complement their device: chargers, stands, new keyboards, etc. With the limitation that The charging speed would be lower than usual wired charging.
As you know, in 2024 two new iPad Pro models (11,1 and 13 inches) with OLED screens and two iPad Air models (11 and 12.9 inches) are planned. It would not be unreasonable to think that Apple wants to start, as with the iPhone, providing more functionalities to the Pro devices and it would be a bombshell that the iPad Pro included MagSafe wireless charging with a redesign of the back of the device. Although all of these are assumptions without any solid basis behind them.
The reality is that having MagSafe type wireless charging on iPads would have many advantages but also many drawbacks as we have mentioned. Among them the possibility of breakage in the event of a fall (glass is more fragile) as well as the charging speed. However, we would expand the possibilities for the user: new accessories and new magnetic chargers They could complement the arrival of MagSafe to the iPad.
