As per reports on March 29th, Apple is gearing up to unveil upgraded versions of the iPad Pro and iPad Air in early May, according to insiders.
The iPad Air will introduce a 12.9-inch screen variant for the first time, while the Pro models will come with sharper OLED displays.
Apple has gone about 18 months without releasing any new iPad products, contributing to a decline in iPad sales over the past two fiscal years. Therefore, Apple is banking on the new iPads, equipped with faster processors and brand-new accessories, to reignite interest in the tablet market and boost iPad sales.
The new iPad Pro lineup consists of four models: J717, J718, J720, and J721, all featuring the new M3 chip and supporting the new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil.
Meanwhile, the new iPad Air will feature a new processor and offer the option of a 12.9-inch screen size, allowing consumers to get a larger iPad at a lower price point compared to the Pro series.
Reports also indicate that Apple originally planned to unveil the new iPads by the end of March or early April, but delays ensued due to incomplete device software and the intricate new manufacturing technology required for the latest iPad screens.
