Apple is gearing up for the release of its highly anticipated next iPads, marking the end of the longest period without updates to Apple’s tablet line in history. The latest timetable suggests that the new iPads could be unveiled in early May.
The upcoming release is expected to include the Apple iPad Pro (2022 update), with reports indicating that the launch may happen in the week of May 6. This aligns with previous predictions that pointed towards an early May release date.
Rumors suggest that the new iPad Pro models will come in two sizes, around 12.9-inch and 11-inch, featuring OLED screen technology for the first time. Additionally, a redesigned Magic Keyboard and an updated Apple Pencil are also anticipated to be part of the release.
However, the introduction of two new iPad Air models alongside the iPad Pro has raised some eyebrows. The new iPad Air models are rumored to include a larger-screened version, possibly around 12.9 inches, as well as an updated version of the current 10.9-inch model.
If these speculations hold true, the upcoming iPad launch is expected to be one of the most significant updates to Apple's tablet lineup in a single day. While the inclusion of new iPad Air models alongside the iPad Pro may seem surprising to some, Apple has a history of launching multiple new products simultaneously.
One potential downside of the new OLED screen technology is that it may lead to a price increase for the iPad Pro models, although the extent of the price hike remains uncertain at this point.
Overall, Apple enthusiasts and tech enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting the official announcement and release of the new iPads, which is expected to happen in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates as the launch date approaches.
