Canadian Amazon: many iPad Pro models are out of stock or low in stock. iPad Airs still mostly in stock except some colours with cellular out of stock. iPad Air in Canadian Amazon are on sale.
I’ve noticed this as well. About 30% of all configs are pushed about a month for shipping times. A few models are even a month wait for pickup at my nearest apple store.Shipping times for some iPad Pro’s on the Apple Store in Canada are in Apri.

Maybe because they'll discontinue iPad 9th Gen? Just thinking out loud.Huge discounts on the iPad 10th gen as well, even though there are no rumours regarding an iPad 11.

Maybe it includes proper external display support and windowing. I'd happily pay £££ for a new iPad Pro if that is the case...I'm confused about this "variant of iPadOS 17.4."
The firmware is already out (released early March) and there's no specific features tied to iPadOS unless I'm missing something. Maybe Apple has something special for the new iPad Pros... that is the only conclusion I can draw from it.
Does this make March 26th the iPad announcement/unveiling/preorder date? Or the date it hits the shelves?
Any ads about the iPad mini?Maybe because they'll discontinue iPad 9th Gen? Just thinking out loud.

Ads? Not too sure what you mean by that but if you are asking if iPad minis are in stock, it is mostly gone too except some high-end iPad minis.Any ads about the iPad mini?
For me, Stage Manager on my portable monitor works great... haven't had any issues thus far.Maybe it includes proper external display support and windowing. I'd happily pay £££ for a new iPad Pro if that is the case...
Completely understand that. But as @kjwamlex pointed out... those kinds of developments should have happened a long time ago.I mean surely there WILL be ever so slight variations in the shipping 17.4 for the new iPads (ie. like a 17.4.1/2) to handle changes to the position of the FaceID camera calculations, differences in processors, cellular connectivity, slight resolution changes on the 13 inch version, OLED burn in protection schemes, changes to interface with the newly designed Magic Keyboard etc. All stuff that is "invisible" to the user but absolutely necessary for proper functionality.
Yes but it's a little convincing nevertheless. I guess we shall see. I don't know his mindset, but it's possible he feels he needs to supply answers, which can lead to creative thinking.

Given that iPadOS 17.4 was released earlier this month. And we are all here just speculating...
Exactly, apple could get them in the stores and have someone update them overnight.If it’s from Gurman it isn’t convincing in the slightest! Do yourself a favour and ignore him, he’s good on product specs but that’s all. I highly expect new iPad Pros this month. And as Apple rarely hold in person events these days it can be at anytime.
Clearly when iOS 17.4 was being developed, those developers were aware of the new products as new landscape Face ID setup localizations were in the iOS 17.4 beta. So... it still doesn't really line up.Based on how it has worked with Apple products in the past... you have one main team that works on iOS/iPadOS that targets development towards ALREADY SHIPPING PRODUCTS and then smaller more secretive teams that work on iOS/iPadOS changes geared toward UNRELEASED PRODUCTS. The problem is their development is NOT aligned (ie. 17.4 may have been developed without the team having specific knowledge of the new products) UNTIL Apple announces, or is just about to announce the new iPad Pro devices. I for example wouldn't be surprised if the current beta software on the new iPad Pros is a variant of 17.2 or 17.3 the internal team worked up for it, and only now with the release of 17.4 is the product being revealed to the main iPadOS team, and now they are working to incorporate the private changes in their internal version of the OS into the shipping code. Much of this is to maintain secrecy so that 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 and even 17.4 earlier this month would not contain clues about the pending products as much as possible.
