New iPad Pro, iPad Air Launch Timeline, and More

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to unveil the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air models in early May, although an exact launch date remains unspecified. The upcoming iPad Pro lineup is anticipated to boast OLED display technology, a revamped Magic Keyboard, and new M3 chips. Meanwhile, the iPad Air is anticipated to offer both the standard 10.9-inch size and a larger 12.9-inch size.

Gurman further notes that Apple's suppliers are ramping up production of the new iPads. Initially aiming for a March or early April release, the tech giant is now prioritizing the completion of software for the new devices. Furthermore, the report mentions that the OLED iPad Pro models' complicated production procedures are contributing to the delay.
