Rumors from the East The rumor originates from a Korean Naver blog account named “yeux1122,” known for aggregating tech news. This source suggests that Apple intends to double the storage capacity for its upcoming iPad Pro models compared to the current 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro, both of which currently cap at 2TB. While the source mentions that the information comes from a parts company in Apple’s supply chain, no further details are available.
Questioning the Claim Given the unverified nature of this rumor, it falls under the “questionable” category. However, it’s crucial to note that Apple has previously expanded its iPad Pro storage options. The fifth-generation iPad Pro marked the introduction of the 2TB storage choice. Considering the technological advancements and growing storage needs of users, a further storage boost in the iPad Pro lineup is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Potential Implications Should Apple decide to offer a 4TB storage option for its upcoming OLED iPad Pro models, several implications arise. To maintain a consistent range of capacity choices, Apple might increase the base storage to 256GB, ensuring five storage tiers are available. Such an upgrade could enable all seventh-generation models to record ProRes video in 4K at 30fps, aligning with Apple’s commitment to empowering content creators.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that iPad Pro RAM capacity varies based on storage capacity. Models with 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB storage configurations feature 8GB of RAM, while those with 1TB or 2TB storage boast 16GB of RAM. If a 4TB iPad Pro were to materialize, the RAM specifications remain a mystery, but it’s a tantalizing possibility.
Anticipating a Game-Changer As it currently stands, the tech world eagerly awaits the arrival of the first OLED iPad Pro models in 2024. These revamped devices are expected to usher in a new era, powered by the M3 Apple silicon chip, featuring OLED displays, and offering slightly larger 11- and 13-inch size options. Alongside the iPad Pro upgrade, Apple plans to introduce an updated Magic Keyboard, complete with a larger trackpad and an aluminum top case to give the iPad Pro a laptop-like appearance—a testament to Apple’s commitment to innovation and user experience.
