Sometimes announcements take a bit more time than previously thought.
Following up on the previous rumor that Apple would announce its updated iPad Air and iPad Pro models around this time, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has now stated that the timeline for the new iPads has been pushed back to early May.
Apple is working on updates to both the iPad Pro and iPad Air models. The iPad Pro models will get OLED display technology and the new M3 chips, while the iPad Air will come in the standard 10.9-inch size and a larger 12.9-inch size.
Per Gurman, Apple’s suppliers are currently ramping up production of the new iPads. Apple is also said to be working to “finish software for the new devices.” The OLED iPad Pro models also need “complex new manufacturing techniques,” which Gurman says has contributed to the delay.
