Apple is working on new iPads that are expected to be equipped with OLED displays for the first time. The next generation iPad Pro will feature two different sizes with Wi-Fi and Cellular options, according to analysis of firmware found in the code of iPadOS 17.5 beta released last week.
The new iPads have been delayed due to production constraints for OLED displays, which are expected to be produced by LG for the 12.9-inch version and both LG and Samsung for the 11-inch panels.

Deception
(50%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author claims that Apple has been working on new iPads for a long time since the last introduction in October 2022. However, this is not entirely accurate as there have been rumors and leaks about new iPad models before then. Secondly, the article states that OLED displays will be used in the next generation iPad Pro for the first time. While it's true that OLED displays are expected to be used in some of the upcoming iPads, this is not confirmed by Apple yet. Thirdly, there are references to unreleased iPads and new gestures for an unreleased Apple Pencil model which suggests that these products may not be available until a later date. Lastly, the article mentions regulatory filings ahead of a rumored May launch which could indicate that the release date is subject to change.

Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing a DSCC report without providing any context or evidence for the claim that production constraints have delayed the launch of new iPads. Additionally, the author makes an informal fallacy by stating that LG and Samsung will produce 11-inch panels when there is no information provided about their involvement in producing these displays. The article also contains a dichotomous depiction of OLED versus non-OLED displays for different iPad sizes, which may not be entirely accurate as other display technologies could also be used. Finally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that the new Apple Pencil will have pressure sensors on its surface without providing any evidence to support this claim.
The DSCC report suggests that production constraints for OLED displays are delaying the launch of new iPads. However, there is no information provided about the validity or reliability of this source.

<strong>Two new iPad Airs with M2 processors are also expected, one in the standard 10.9-inch size and a larger 12.9-inch model.</strong>
The next iPad Pro is already $1,099 for 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
<strong>One thing Apple could do to make the iPad Pro more appealing is to make it a true hybrid by allowing dual-booting macOS and iPadOS. </strong>
Federico Viticci has said that using macOS in a virtual display alongside visionOS apps felt powerful and flexible, highlighting the tablet's vulnerability.
<strong>The Vision Pro is no immediate threat to the iPad Pro but could take over casual content consumption if it can do so better than the iPad. </strong>
Apple has shown willingness to give people what they ask for by returning HDMI and SD card ports to MacBook Pro, which suggests that bringing more USB-C ports and dual-booting capabilities might be possible.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that the new OLED iPad Pros are supposed to be a big deal of the new lineup. However, they do not provide any evidence or reasoning for this claim. Secondly, the author states that both 11-inch and 13-inch versions will get better screens but does not mention anything about other features such as improved performance or battery life which could be equally important to consumers. Thirdly, the article suggests that a new Apple Pencil with pressure sensitivity is expected but does not provide any information on its availability or pricing. Lastly, the author compares the iPad Pro with MacBook Air and states that it has one USB-C port and runs iPadOS which still feels limited despite multitasking features added by Apple. However, this comparison is misleading as MacBook Airs have more ports than iPads and run macOS which provides a much richer ecosystem of software.

Apple is unlikely to hold an event to announce new iPad Pro and iPad Air models
Two factors contributing to the new iPads being delayed were Apple still finishing iPadOS software development for the new iPads and advanced manufacturing techniques for OLED displays that they will use.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Apple is unlikely to hold an event for new iPad Pro and iPad Air models based on sources cited by DigiTimes. However, this information has been reported elsewhere as well and it's not clear if these sources are reliable or independent of each other. Secondly, the article quotes Bloomberg's Mark Gurman who said that Apple was not planning to hold an event for new iPads in early March before reporting that the devices were postponed due to manufacturing delays. This creates a false impression as if Gurman had predicted the delay and it wasn't reported until later, when in fact he made his prediction after learning about the delay. Thirdly, while Apple has announced new iPad Pro models with M3 chip and OLED displays before, there is no mention of any such announcement in this article. Instead, it reports that Gurman believes Apple will announce the new iPads by the second week of May barring any further delays due to production challenges. This creates a false impression as if Gurman has insider knowledge about Apple's plans and is not just speculating based on publicly available information.
