Earlier this month Apple released the newM3 MacBook Airwith a surprisal press release on Monday , March 4 . That was notable for a couple of cause : One , we expected Apple to view as a spring event this yr , and two , they were n’t accompanied by new iPads .
With no event , we thought Modern iPads would launch the next day or the following week , but nearly a calendar month later , that has n’t find . Then there was a hearsay earlier this workweek that Apple wouldunveil the new iPadson Tuesday , March 26 , but this week has come and gone without an annunciation , so it appears fresh iPads will officially be launch in April now . Or based on the late paper , maybe even May .
So what feed ? When just will the new iPads arrive ? allow ’s look at what we live .
Several reports have lay claim that the young iPads wo n’t ship until April . Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports that a new interlingual rendition of iOS 17.4 for the raw iPads “ wo n’t be ended until the end of March or even sometime in April , ” a mental process that “ could last a couple weeks , probably taking us deeper into next month . ”
individually , Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants enunciate that while the new OLED panels for the iPad Pro begin shipping in February , product and price emergence caused some wait , particularly with the 11 - inch model .
Now that we ’re formally look at April , we ’re hearing report that Apple wo n’t launch new iPads until May , which is a very rare calendar month for raw Apple products . Here ’s a list of Apple ’s announcements via press departure since 2019 :
The only new late Apple mathematical product that arrive in May was the iPod touch way back in 2019 , a Cartesian product that is n’t nearly as important to Apple ’s card as an iPad . It ’s credibly more likely that Apple will announce the young iPads afterward in April and start shipping them in May , like it did with the new M1 iPad Pro in 2020 .
Apple has denote iPads on Mondays and Tuesdays and once on a Wednesday due to Covid shakeups . However , major proclamation ( 10th - gen iPad , M2 MacBook Pro ) generally happen on a Tuesday , while Mondays are relegated to smaller updates , like the recent M3 MacBook Air .
So what does it all mean ? Put all of the clue together and our proficient surmisal for an iPad release is either Tuesday , April 16 or April 23 . We ’re leaning toward April 23 , which gives Apple plenty of time to assemble pedigree , finish the new build of iPadOS 17.4 , and generate a bit more buzz . So project accordingly .
