Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch a selection of updated iPad models, including new iPad Pro and Air models with OLED screens. The company is also expected to release an upgrade for the Magic Keyboard accessory.
These products are likely to be released sometime around the end of March or in April along with a special build of iOS 17.4 that adds support for new hardware.
Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch a selection of updated iPad models, including new iPad Pro and Air models with OLED screens. The company is also expected to release an upgrade for the Magic Keyboard accessory. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, these products are likely to be released sometime around the end of March or in April along with a special build of iOS 17.4 that adds support for new hardware.
Production of the new 11-inch iPad Pro is falling behind the 12.9-inch model.
OLED screens for the 11-inch iPad Pro are currently in production by Samsung Display and LG Display will also start producing them sometime this month.
The new 11-inch iPad Pro could be in short supply when it launches, at least in comparison to the 12.9-inch model.
Accuracy
The iPad Pro will reportedly see its first major redesign since Apple introduced the rounded, larger-screened iPad Pros back in 2018
. A thinner body and the new M3 chip are also fairly safe bets
. Some rumors suggest that the tablets could support MagSafe wireless charging (not to be confused with the wired MagSafe 3 port on recent Macs)
The iPad Air probably won't see as big a design change, but the 6th-generation model will reportedly step up from the M1 to the M2
. The company brought out a new USB-C Apple Pencil last year and will, at some point in the future, clearly stop supporting the old Lightning-based iPad and Apple Pencil models.
The premium Magic Keyboard accessory is believed to be undergoing a slight upgrade to an aluminum finish that'll more closely resemble MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. It will also result in a sturdier unit with larger trackpad.
Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that production of the new 11-inch iPad Pro is falling behind the 12.9-inch model when there's no evidence to support this claim. Secondly, Young notes that OLED screens for the 11-inch iPad Pro are currently in production by Samsung Display and LG Display will also start producing them sometime this month, but he doesn't provide any information on how many units of each screen size Apple is planning to produce or sell. This makes it difficult to determine if there will be a shortage of the 11-inch model compared to the 12.9-inch one.
