Apple’s OLED iPad Pro was supposed to come out in March, then April, and now we have to wait until May. What’s going on?
How Apple is going to make iPads AWESOME AGAIN!
The entire iPad line has gone without updates for over a year. Apple, according to reliable sources, was planning to fix that in March with new OLED iPads Pro and M2 iPads Air, perhaps a week or two after the M3 MacBook Air was announced. Those new models won’t be released until May. Why? Probably the OLED displays, which are apparently very difficult to make.
"This is reportedly because Samsung finds it difficult to produce these OLEDs. Apple wanted a tandem structure OLED—basically two layers of emitters on top of each other, which is better in terms of efficiency, brightness and longevity. But it is more difficult to produce," Ron Mertens, CEO of OLED and microLED tracking company Metalgrass, told Lifewire via email.
We’ve heard a lot about the yet-to-be-announced new iPads. The iPad Air, for example, is getting an M2 upgrade (from the current M1 chip) and a new, larger 13-inch model, to offer a bigger screen without having to pay for a Pro.
