- Apple's new iPads, including an OLED iPad Pro and potentially larger iPad Air, delayed to May.
- Complexities with new display tech and software finalization cited as reasons for the pushback.
- M3 chip and bigger screen options promise a significant upgrade for both iPad Pro and Air.
A recent report indicates Apple’s update on the highly anticipated Apple iPad refresh. Mark Gurman, Apple’s tech reporter at Bloomberg offers an alternative version of events, claiming that the launch will be delayed until the early part of May, something that earlier predicted guesses had put in March and April.
Apple Kicks Off Next-Gen iPad 2024 Models with Major Changes Coming in May
Gurman said, “Then you question yourself, what has kept Apple from shipping models with these updates? There are two key factors. Software, that powers the iPads, Apple is very consistently working on getting the software perfected.”
First, the complexity of putting OLED displays in the new iPad Pro models is higher, but on the other hand, it could create opportunities for production. These state-of-the-art screens indeed call for the creation of new and complicated methods of production, which seem to be the reason for some of the problems encountered during the production process.
Notwithstanding the slowdown we are anticipating, there is yet to be a premium to collect. Here’s a glimpse of what awaits in the upcoming iPad lineup:
iPad Pro: Rumors abound regarding the display of an unparalleled OLED screen on the iPad Pro with awe-inspiring color tones, deep blacks, and possibly energy efficiency for the screen.
The effect of this display enhancement will be made more powerful with the aid of an M3 chip which means that you will experience a very fast performance even when the tasks are complicated.
iPad Air: The new iPad Air, which always wins in popularity, is likely to be made into a new model. In addition to the 10.9-inch size, Apple is upgrading its offerings through the selling of a new 12.9-inch variant to serve those users who can’t stop themselves from asking for more screen area.
Optimistically, Apple suppliers are ramping up for higher volumes, thus it diminishes the chances of getting disappointed by falling for exaggerated hype. Though the launch timeline has shifted, one thing remains abundantly clear: Apple maintains a strong position in the market having embraced constant innovation and quick response to consumer needs. It will be the time when people arrive at the later stage of the sales where iPads have big screens, high resolution, and better light emitting capability.
