The excitement surrounding Apple's upcoming iPad models has reached a fever pitch in recent days, with speculations about an imminent announcement on March 26 being fueled by leaks and rumors. However, the latest information from Mark Gurman, a renowned expert in the tech world, has put a damper on these speculations.
Mark Gurman, known for his accurate predictions about upcoming Apple products, has clarifiedthat an iPad announcement on March 26 is not planned. While this news may be disappointing for some, it's worth taking a closer look at what we can expect instead.
Clarification of the timetable for the market launch of the new tablets
In the latest issue of his Power On newsletter, Gurman clarified the timeline somewhat. He said that the "variant of iPadOS 17.4" that will ship on the new iPad models won't be ready until the end of the month at the earliest, and that it could take "a couple of weeks" for the software to be installed on the first shipments. This timeline, Gurman said, will likely push the launch of the new iPads into next month, although an announcement could come a bit sooner.
What can we expect from these new iPad models?
According to reports, the revamped iPad Pro models will feature groundbreaking OLED displays, Apple's powerful M3 chip, and other improvements. A new 12.9-inch variant of the iPad Air is also expected, which is sure to catch the attention of many. But that's not all. Apple is reportedly planning to launch a brand new Magic Keyboard specifically for the iPad Pro, as well as an improved Apple Pencil that will expand the possibilities of drawing and taking notes on the iPad. Although Gurman didn't give any specific launch dates, his hints suggest that we can probably expect next month to get our hands on the new iPad models. However, an announcement could come sooner, further raising the excitement for Apple enthusiasts. (Photo by Unsplash / CardMapr.nl)
