After Apple unveiled its thinnest product ever last month with the M4 iPad Pro, rumors are now suggesting an overhaul of the other products could be in order.
If reports are anything to go by, the ‘thin and light’ approach could be coming to the iPhone, Apple Watch, and Macbook Pro.
According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, the new iPad Pro is the “beginning of a new class of Apple devices” where the goal is to be the “thinnest and lightest products in their categories.”
The M4 iPad Pro measures in at 5.1mm making it even slimmer than the iPod nano and the thinnest product the tech giant has ever created.
“I’m told that Apple is now focused on developing a significantly skinnier phone in time for the iPhone 17 line in 2025. It’s also working to make the Macbook Pro and Apple Watch thinner,” said the journalist.
There’s been no word from the company on the potential arrival of slimmer versions but the M4 iPad Pro page on the website introduces the product as being “the next generation of Apple silicon.”
