It is expected that Apple will introduce the iPad Pro (2024) and iPad Air (2024) models in a few days. However, judging by a new leak, the iPad Pro (2024) 12.9 inch OLED screen production is not at the desired level. This will cause Apple to either delay the launch or send new iPad Pro models with a delay.
New iPad Pro screen production has been disrupted, when is the launch date?
Apple has long pushed the button for the first iPad with an OLED display. According to estimates, iPad Pro OLED will come with two screen sizes of 11.1 and 12.9 inches. Apple, which does not rely on a single supplier for OLED screen production, agreed with both LG and Samsung. LG, which undertook the production of the iPad Pro 11.1 OLED screen, managed to produce enough panels for March.
Samsung, on the other hand, produces the 12.9-inch giant OLED iPad screen. However, it turned out that things were going slow on Samsung’s side. These screen production problems lie behind the iPad Pro and iPad Air launch date, which has been talked about since February and has not been determined yet. In this sense, one of the expectations is that Apple will introduce the new iPad Pro OLED in a few days.
If Apple’s launch date for the iPad Pro (2024) models is this month, the first shipments will be in April. The company has the opportunity to complete production for the iPad Pro 11.1-inch version by the end of March. However, the fact that Samsung is producing a much larger OLED screen has left Apple in a dilemma.
Another bad news came from Apple Watch!
The microLED dream for Apple Watch was short-lived. Apple is said to have canceled its in-house microLED display technology.
Judging by the leak, even if Apple introduces the iPad Pro (2024) and iPad Air (2024) models at the beginning of April, the iPad Pro 12.9-inch version will go on sale at the end of April, even in countries such as the USA and Canada.
It is now almost certain that the iPad Pro OLED models will come in two versions, 11.1 and 12.9 inches. It is certain that there will be two versions of the iPad Air models, 10.9 and 12.9 inches, for the first time. However, it is not known whether Apple will prepare a promotion for the new iPad Pro and iPad Air. According to some predictions, Apple will skip the introduction with a press release, as it does with MacBook models.
On the other hand, there are many people who expect Apple to make a spectacular presentation for the first OLED screen iPad Pro (2024) models. What time do you think Apple will set for the launch date of the new iPad Pro OLED and iPad Air? We are waiting your comments.
