It’s not truly possible to “postpone” an item that has actually never ever been revealed, however it’s tough to see the current report of iPad shipping dates as anything else. Initially anticipated in March, then moving into April, the brand-new iPad Pro and iPad Air are now anticipated to deliver in early May, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
According to “individuals with understanding of the matter,” Apple’s providers have actually increase production of the brand-new iPad Pro and iPad Air with a target launch in May, kept back from its initial March/April launch date due to brand-new software application and more complex production strategies. Apple does not typically release brand-new items in May, with the most current release can be found in 2019 with the 7th generation iPod touch. More just recently, it started delivering the brand-new M1 iMac and iPad Pro in May 2021 after an April statement.
The iPad Pro is stated to be getting a brand-new OLED screen, the M3 processor, and compatibility with an upgraded Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. The iPad Air, on the other hand, will apparently get an upgrade to the M2 processor and be readily available in a brand-new 12.9-inch size.
Sales of iPads have actually been flagging recently, and the lineup hasn’t had an upgrade in a year and a half– a longer stretch than whenever because the iPad was initially presented. A release in May would be unusual, as it is within a month of WWDC in June, where the item launch might be provided a larger spotlight.
