First the date was late March, then April. Now Apple will debut the new iPad Pro and iPad Air models in “early May,” according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman.
Apple’s suppliers are purportedly ramping up production of the new tablets right now. Apple initially planned to launch the iPads in March or early April, but is apparently working to “finish software for the new devices,” Gurman adds.
One rumor says that Apple may offer a matte screen for the first time. Unlike a regular glossy display, a matte display comes with an anti-glare coating that helps minimize reflections on your screen. Since smooth surfaces such as glass or plastic reflect light evenly, they may have a harsh glare and interrupt your content.
The next iPad Pro will almost certainly sport an OLED display. It’s likely to be a hybrid OLED display made with a combination of flexible and rigid materials. This could mean the updated iPad Pros would be even thinner and lighter design than current models.
