The Information has heard from its sources that Apple is working on a 16-inch iPad. It will be launched sometime in Q4, 2023, presumably with an M2, M2 Pro or M2 Ultra chip and "Ultra" branding.

The price is fine if it has the full power of those chips, but until you can run desktop apps on them even a 12.9" iPad Pro doesn't make any sense.

I use android tablet to see tutorials and books so it is not really a productivity tool for me, but since i also use it to not be seated so much time i found necessary that the sides need to be larger or it needs an handle in each side otherwise i am always putting my hands in screen.

And the iPad will run i(Pad)OS that is designed for phones and is intentionally hindered to not cannibalize MacBook sales 😉 Samsung at least got DeX that works great in mimicking a desktop UI.
Both can't run desktop apps though that have features missing on their mobile versions so either way no option for some but I can see people living with the compromise for the form factor if they don't rely on these features.
