According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to release new iPad Pro models with OLED displays in early May. This update will bring significant advancements in display technology to Apple devices, with the OLED screens offering more vibrant colors and deeper blacks compared to traditional LCD displays.
Apple is also set to expand the iPad Air lineup by introducing a model with a 12.9-inch display for the first time. This move is aimed at catering to users who are seeking a larger screen on a more affordable device than the Pro line. The new iPad Air is rumored to feature the previous generation M2 chip, showcasing Apple’s commitment to providing high performance even in its more accessible devices.
The new iPad Pro models are expected to come equipped with Apple’s M3 chip, introducing a new generation of internal processors that promise enhanced performance and energy efficiency. A larger trackpad is also expected to be included in the update to the Magic Keyboard, offering users a more comfortable and productive experience. In contrast, the iPad Air is rumored to feature the M1 chip, which originally expected to be launched in late March or April but has been pushed back until May as Apple requires more time for software development before unveiling it at WWDC 2024, slated for June 10th.
