Apple will debut new iPad Pro and iPad Air models in early May, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman. Gurman had previously predicted we’d see new iPads sometime in March, then April, and now it looks like the release date has been pushed back again.
We’re expecting to see several new and updated features when the new iPad Pros debut, including an M3 chip, a thinner profile, a landscape front camera, a revamped rear camera, and possibly MagSafe charging. A revamped Magic Keyboard and an updated Apple Pencil are expected to debut alongside the new iPad Pro models.
As for the iPad Air, many expect Apple to introduce a 12.9-inch model for the first time.
Gurman says Apple’s suppliers are now ramping up production of the new iPads. Although Apple initially planned to launch the iPads in March or early April, Gurman says the company is working to “finish software for the new devices.” Gurman added the OLED iPad Pro models also require “complex new manufacturing techniques,” contributing to the delay.
