Bloomberg quoted a source revealing that the iPad Pro 2024 generation that many people have been waiting for could launch as early as early May this year. Many previously leaked information confirmed that the iPad Pro 5 will be Apple's first tablet model to use an OLED panel. At the same time as this device's launch, this year's new iPad Air can be added.
Information about the launch time of new iPads has been quite confusing recently, when a news site from China confirmed that the device would appear on March 26 (which did not happen), while technology expert Mark Gurman revealed revealed in April.
OLED screen could cause iPad Pro 2024 to increase in price.
iPad Pro 2024 is expected to retain the current two screen size versions, 11 inches and 12,9 inches, but due to the use of OLED panels, the device price will increase compared to previous models.
If users are concerned that using a tablet using a large 12,9-inch OLED screen is too expensive, Apple will offer another cheaper option, the 12,9-inch iPad Air model using a XNUMX-inch screen. LCD.
This may be the first time Apple has announced a new size for the iPad Air line, besides the traditional 10,9 inch size.
The iPad Pro 2024 series has code names J717, J718, J720 and J721. All four use the M3 processor on the 3 nm process and do not rule out the ability to support MagSafe wireless charging (like recent iPhone lines). As for the iPad Air 2024, the device will have its processor chip upgraded from M1 to M2.
In addition to tablets, the manufacturer may also launch new Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard accessories.
During the tech industry downturn of 2023, Apple did not introduce any more tablet models, breaking its habit of launching at least one model every year since the first iPad was released in 2010. After the break year, Apple expects to drive stronger demand for new iPad lines.
