When Apple releases the next iPad, it will end the longest period without an update in the history of Apple’s tablet products. It looks like it will be in early May. Click here for the latest timetable.
Updates for April 9th are as follows. This post was first published by him on April 7, 2024.
Bloomberg’s Mark Garman previously stated that the next Apple iPad would be released “around the end of March or April,” but that didn’t happen. According to his latest information, power on newsletterHowever, “you can circle early May on your calendar.”
Now, I’m too much of a gentleman to point out that that’s exactly what I’ve been saying all along, but just recently they’ve changed the release date to Friday, May 10th, or the following week, Friday, May 17th. I expected it. now?
When is the release date?
Garman said, “For those looking for more specific timing, we’ve heard that the launch will likely be the week of May 6th. Another data point that supports this is that Apple’s retail stores will We are preparing to receive marketing materials for new products later in the week.” . This is usually a sign that a new product release is coming. ”
That seems to be exactly in line with my last guess. Since many countries in the world observe May Day as a public holiday on Monday, the order of work is as follows: Announcements will be made on Monday, May 6th or Tuesday, May 7th.
Pre-orders will then begin on Friday, May 10th, the first reviews will appear in a few days, and the release date will be Friday, May 17th.
What will be released?
The new iPad Pro will come in two sizes, around 12.9 inches and 11 inches, and I believe it will be the first to use OLED as its screen technology. A newly redesigned Magic Keyboard and an Apple Pencil that may have been accidentally leaked. Oh, and there’s a small sting in the tail. It’s possible that OLED will force a price increase on iPad Pro models, but it’s not yet clear by how much.
But Garman went further, adding that two new iPad Air models will also be announced. In other words, it is a new version of the current 10.9-inch model, as well as a model with a larger screen (about 12.9 inches).
If that’s true, then he’s right. “Overall, this announcement is shaping up to be one of his biggest updates of the day for Apple tablets.”
It’s a different matter for critics to be wrong about the release date, but the release date is and What has been announced supports this.
So it’s puzzling, but not inconceivable, that Apple would dilute the iPad Pro with the new iPad Air. After all, Apple happily releases four new iPhones every fall, right?
You’ll find out soon.
Updated on April 9th. More details are emerging about Apple’s iPad plans. First of all, Mark Garman believes that the iPad Pro and iPad Air will both be updated with models announced in early May, but that the entry-level iPad and iPad mini will have a longer wait. Stated.
“The company is also working on new versions of the lower-end iPad and iPad mini, but those won’t arrive until the end of the year at the earliest,” Garman said. A new downscale iPad will probably be a lower-priced version of the 10th generation model starting in 2022, but updates to the iPad mini won’t include much more than a processor upgrade. ”
Garman therefore clarified that while both could happen this year, 2025 is also an option, reiterating his comment, “If not sooner.” That means the iPad Pro will be released next month, followed by the iPad Air, which will be the only updates in 2024.
I think this is surprising (just to be clear, I’m pretty surprised the iPad didn’t launch in 2024 at all), but the iPad Air could also launch in May. It lends credence to the idea that there is. I think it’s less likely than the iPad Pro alone, but I’d be happy to be persuaded.
