The next iPad Pro had been expected any day now. Reports hinted that there would be an Apple Special Event on Tuesday, March 23 where the iPad and other items would be announced.
As subscribers to my newsletter will know, I said last week that I was certain no such event will take place, and as each day passes, that seems more likely.
DigiTimes is now saying in a report spotted by MacRumors, that: “Epistar has become the exclusive supplier of miniLED chips to be used in 12.9-inch miniLED-backlit iPad Pro, with nearly 50% of the corresponding production capacity booked up for the tablet and volume shipments to begin in the second quarter of 2021, the sources said.”
The key information here is that shipments start in the second quarter, that is, between April and June. Previously, it had been rumored that March would be the launch date.
The report at least confirms that the display will be using the new miniLED display technology which promises to take the screen quality to a whole new level. Higher brightness levels, better contrast and more are among the benefits with miniLED.
It’s expected that the 11in iPad Pro will stick with the current screen tech, seeing a processor upgrade arrive but no major design differences. So, it’s not surprising that that model doesn’t feature in the DigiTimes report.
So, let’s stay optimistic, the launch could be as soon as April 1, which is only two weeks away. Even allowing for shipments to start later than the first of the month, we really might not have that long to wait.
My guess is that the next iPad release will be announced in April—though probably not quite as early as the first day—and will go on sale a couple of weeks later. Whether the announcement will come via a virtual event or press releases, I don’t know, though my gut feeling is it could be by press release. After all, other products have gone public that way, like AirPods Pro, and it didn’t hurt them.
