    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the new iPad Air will add a larger option which implies that there was no large option before. However, this is not true as the original iPad debuted in 2010 with a 9.7-inch display and later models had displays of up to 12 inches. Secondly, it states that the new iPads will be worth waiting for but does not provide any evidence or reasoning to support this claim. Thirdly, it uses sensationalism by stating that the iPad Pro supply mix at launch is expected to shift which creates a sense of urgency and excitement without providing any concrete information about what this means for customers.

    • Deception (50%)
      The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the new iPad Pro models with OLED displays will likely begin shipping to customers in April. However, this statement contradicts information from a previous report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman which stated that the new iPad Pro models might not ship until 'deeper into April'. Secondly, the article claims that Apple plans to launch a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air as well, and it will likely be announced alongside the new iPad Pro models. However, this statement is also contradicted by information from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman which states that there are no plans for an announcement of a larger 12.9-inch iPad Air model at present.

    • Fallacies (85%)
      The article contains an appeal to authority by citing information from two sources: Ross Young and Mark Gurman. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when stating that the new iPad Pro models might not ship until 'deeper' into April. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of the announcement date as both being announced in March or early April and possibly later than that.

    • Bias (85%)
      The article contains a statement that suggests the new iPad Pro models might not ship until deeper into April. This is an example of bias because it implies that Apple will delay shipping for some reason and creates uncertainty around when customers can expect to receive their devices.
      • > I've repeatedly said that new software for the iPad Pro — a variant of iPadOS 17.4 designed for the updated models — won’t be complete until the end of March or even sometime in April. > Once the OS is finished, Apple needs to send it off to the factories to be installed on the new hardware. That process could last a couple weeks, probably taking us deeper into next month.

        • Gurman's latest suggestion is tied to an updated piece of iPadOS software which is expected to launch with the new iPad Pro models. He believes it will land before iPadOS 17.5, which is expected to appear in developer beta format as soon as this week.

        The article contains several fallacies.

The author mentions that there are currently two iPads Pro in the range and then goes on to mention that Apple is not revealing anything about any future plans which makes it hard to pin down the timing just yet. This suggests that they have an insider source or knowledge of something, but this bias could be interpreted as them trying to create excitement for their readers.

This statement implies that there are reliable sources confirming these expectations, but no such sources are mentioned in the article. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma by suggesting that buying an M2 iPad Pro right now is not worth it because we should wait for the OLED iPad Pro to be released soon. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when stating that Apple has failed to upgrade any iPad last year and this failure will lead them to release upgraded models as soon as possible, which implies a sense of urgency without providing evidence.

          • Bias (85%)
            The article is biased towards the upcoming OLED iPad Pro and its expected improvements over the current M2 model. The author uses language that deifies the new device and implies that it will be a significant upgrade for users looking to purchase an iPad. Additionally, there are numerous examples of bias throughout the article such as 'Apple is aiming for an unrivaled image quality on the iPad Pro' and 'The OLED display also consumes less power compared to traditional LCD and mini-LED displays'. The author also uses language that implies that Apple has failed in its previous attempts at upgrading iPads, which could be seen as a negative bias. Overall, while there are some examples of bias throughout the article, it is not highly biased.
