Initially, Apple was expected to refresh its iPad Air and iPad Pro lineup in March or early April. However, the launch was delayed as the giant is still in the process of finalizing the software updates for the new iPad models. Also, there were challenges in the manufacturing processes for the new OLED panels in the iPad Pro models. The report added, “The screens in the latest models also require complex new manufacturing techniques, which have contributed to the delay.”
The display analyst, Ross Young has stated that Samsung will be the sole supplier of the OLED panels for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro model. Talking about the 11.1-inch model, both Samsung and LG will share orders to ensure a steady flow of components.
It’s worth knowing that Apple won’t hold a dedicated event for its new iPads. Rather, they will be announced via a press release, just like the13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models with M3 processor.
