New iPads tomorrow, perhaps? Apple has updated its System Status page, noting that its online store will be “updated and unavailable” for “maintenance” tomorrow, Tuesday, March 21, between midnight and 5:30 a.m. (Pacific).
My crystal ball tells me that Apple will introduce a new 10.5-inch iPad Pro model along with a revised a 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 and a “low-cost” 9.7-inch iPad model with the 7.9-inch iPad mini being discontinued. All will AMOLED displays and incorporate the TrueTone tech introduced in the first gen 9.7-inch iPad Pro. What’s more, I think the rumored Apple Pencil 2 will arrive with the revamped tablet line-up. However, other sources don’t expect the 10.5-inch iPad Pro to arrive until April.
Of course, there’s always a chance Apple will surprise us and release new iMacs instead of (or perhaps in addition to) new iPads.
