This date corresponds with Mark Gurman's earlier forecasts. According to a previous rumor from Bloomberg, Apple is expected to unveil the new iPad Pro (2024) and iPad Air (2024) around the end of March or early April. He said earlier this week in his weekly Power On newsletter that a delay in the development of the new iPadOS 17.4 would cause the delivery of the new iPad Pro (2024) and iPad Air (2024) series to be postponed until later next month.
Furthermore, analyst Ross Young predicted that Apple will start distributing iPad Pro versions with OLED panels to customers in April in a new DSCC blog post on Monday, March 18. It is rumored that the firm will unveil the new iPad Pro models along with a bigger 12.9-inch iPad Air. Young claims that Samsung will be the only company offering OLED screens for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. For the 11.1-inch iPad Pro variant, orders from Samsung and LG could be divided.
Apple's upcoming 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2024) models are expected to be powered by the 3nm Apple M3 chipset. The iPad Air models could run on the M2 chipset and are expected to have a redesigned camera unit, a slimmer body, and a USB Type-C port for charging.
