It’s been a long time since Apple released new iPads, with 2023 the first year to see no new models since the tablet first debuted in 2010. That tablet drought was once expected to end this month, with the 2024 iPad Pro and iPad Air 6 tipped for a March launch, but it now seems you’ll have to wait a little bit longer.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman — who originally tipped the March date last year — both tablets are now set for May. Citing “people with knowledge of the matter," the delay is apparently due to two factors: a rush to finish software for the tablets, and the “complex new manufacturing techniques” required to produce the new models’ screens.
