We recently heard a rumor that Apple would be launching its three new iPad Pro tablets in March, although according to a recent report they may not actually launch until May or June.
Apple is expected to launch an updated 9.7 inch and 12.9 inch iPad Pro tablets and also a new 10.5 inch tablet.
Expected Features and Specifications
The new iPad Pro models are anticipated to come with a range of impressive features and specifications. The 9.7-inch model, which has been a favorite among users for its portability and performance, is expected to receive a significant upgrade in terms of processing power and display quality. The 12.9-inch model, known for its large screen and suitability for professional use, is also expected to see enhancements that will make it even more powerful and versatile.
The new 10.5-inch iPad Pro is particularly intriguing as it is rumored to feature a nearly edge-to-edge display, providing a larger screen without significantly increasing the overall size of the device. This model is expected to appeal to users who want a balance between portability and screen real estate.
Potential Delays and Market Impact
According to a recent report from Digitimes, we may have to wait until slightly later on in either May or June to get the new tablets. This delay could have several implications for both consumers and the market.
Vendors have hoped that at least one of the two large-size tablets, 10.5-inch iPad or the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, will be released in the first quarter of 2017 along with the entry-level 9.7-inch iPad.
However, the sources said that they are now more certain that both of the planned two large-size models will not come until May-June, thereby affecting first-quarter sales of supply chain makers.
The delay in the release of these new models could impact Apple’s sales and the overall tablet market. Vendors and supply chain makers who were counting on the first-quarter release to boost their sales may find themselves in a challenging position. This delay could also give competitors an opportunity to capture market share by releasing their own new models during this period.
As soon as we get some more details on exactly when Apple will be launching its new iPad Pro tablets, we will let you guys know.

In addition to the potential delays, there are also rumors about new features that could be included in these upcoming iPad Pro models. For instance, there is speculation that the new iPads might come with improved cameras, better battery life, and enhanced support for the Apple Pencil. These features would make the new iPads even more appealing to both casual users and professionals who rely on their tablets for work.
Moreover, the new iPads are expected to run on the latest version of iOS, which will likely include new software features and improvements that will enhance the overall user experience. This could include better multitasking capabilities, new productivity tools, and enhanced security features.
Overall, while the delay in the release of the new iPad Pro models may be disappointing for some, the anticipated features and improvements suggest that it will be worth the wait. As always, Apple is expected to deliver high-quality products that set new standards in the tablet market.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the official launch date.
