Apple enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for the tech giant’s upcoming launch event on May 7, where the company is expected to introduce new iPad Pro and iPad Air models. Amid the buzz, a recent leak from Ross Young, CEO and co-founder of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) has shed light on what consumers can expect from the new iPad Air lineup.
Apple iPad launch event: Contradictory reports emerge on display technology
Initially, speculation surrounded the possibility of Apple equipping the rumored 12.9-inch iPad Air with a mini-LED screen, crafted from leftover panels from the iPad Pro series. However, Young’s recent statements suggest a departure from this prediction. According to Young’s subscriber-only post on X, both variants of the iPad Air are now expected to feature the same IPS LCD screen as their predecessors, the iPad Air (5th generation). The reason for this change in approach is the high costs associated with upgrading to new display technology.
Rumors address Apple Pencil and future iPad releases
In addition to the anticipated tablet release, reports indicate the arrival of a new Apple Pencil alongside the iPad. This updated input device is rumored to support the new ‘squeeze’ gesture and include tracking capabilities through Apple’s Find My network. Notably, promotional artwork for the event featured an Apple Pencil adorned in vibrant colors, hinting at potential enhancements to functionality and design.
Additionally, Young speculated on Apple’s plans for future iPad releases beyond the impending launch event. Instead of reusing the Mini-LED panel for the 12.9-inch iPad Air, Apple may opt to introduce a new iPad model later in the year. However, details about the specific model – whether it will be an iPad Pro or an iPad Air – have not been revealed yet. If Young’s predictions come true, consumers can expect this new iPad version to hit the market in the fourth quarter of 2024.
As the countdown to Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event continues, enthusiasts remain curious about the developing story around the tech giant’s product lineup. While initial expectations pointed to advances in display technology, recent insights suggest a more pragmatic approach driven by cost considerations. Nonetheless, the promise of innovative features like the revamped Apple Pencil keeps excitement levels high as consumers wait for the official unveiling.
