Another leaker is telling us to expect new iPads at WWDC

Is this person trustworthy or just a random person on twitter? Going from March to June is kinda soul crushing.

I’m looking to switch from a laptop to iPad and might just get a current model from Costco at this point because of their return policy if the oled comes out in May. Also really want to figure out if I can fully ditch a laptop for iPad.

I know some Youtubers like Max Tech actively engaging with that account... Read this as the credibility of the source

Unlikely

I don’t think apple want hardware to take away from a big software update

They’ve always released hardware at WWDC…

Not iPads there hasn’t

this year is a big focus on al and being the supposed biggest iOS update ever. Unless there’s production issues I don’t think it will drag to wwdc.
 
If that means iPad OS may have some fancy new features, I will happily wait longer! Bring it on.

While I’d hate it a WWDC release might make sense if the rumored iPad Pro oled specific software is a substantial change to announce it there.

Just crazy we’re gonna go from March rumored release to bleeping June.

Hate to break it to you, but they have announced iPads at WWDC. The 2nd Gen iPad Pros launched at WWDC 2017.

I’m talking recently

That was 6 years old. iPads are not announced at WWDC anymore. If they are this year it’s clearly down to supply is the issue

It also means Gurman will be VERY wrong, which is only a good thing. Bring him down a peg or two.

Him coming out and saying may could backfire on him and hurt his reputation for sure. As he even did an article about may release

This!

I’ve sold both of my iPP’s in preparation of the new models being released… based on the talk of March!

April I could deal with.

May has had me looking for a second-hand ‘stop gap’

June is just infuriating as it will likely then mean pre-orders a week or so after WWDC and delivery a week or two after pre-order, which puts it into July!

This is why I’m kinda thinking of going to Costco and getting an M2 iPad Pro. i could then either sell it/trade it in or be sketchy as hell and use their 90 day return policy and return it when oled comes out. I think the second option is probably a little too sketchy for my taste though.

I think iPads at WWDC makes sense. Again, haven't seen many leaks for such a big release...makes me think everyone jumped the gun to find leakers within Apple.

I don't understand your logic here. You bring up the iPad's software limitations to justify the claim that the iPad is overpriced, fine, that might be the case for you, but you're just emphasising that the iPad is a consumer device, and OLED is a consumer upgrade. Ordinary consumers aren't going to know what a dual-stack OLED is, but they'll notice that it will be a best-in-class viewing experience. It's not an excuse to bump up the price, because it costs Apple money to order these new displays, any price bump that would happen as a result of this change would just be to make up for that extra cost. If it weren't an upgrade that Apple didn't actually feel that their customers would value in the long-run, they wouldn't have the incentive to do it in the first place.

The logic is that user wishes / benefit isn't Apple's criteria for including features. If that were the case, we wouldn't be talking about OLED and ProMotion anymore in 2024, they'd be long implemented across the lineup. Apple had to be forced to move the iPhone to USB-C, what more do you need?

How are ordinary consumers going to notice that this is best-in-class? It is not reasonable for you to make this claim as none of us have actually seen this display, so it seems very optimistic. But even if the average consumer could tell the difference, my point is that it will come at a high cost that no one asked for, which means this is an expensive way to achieve something that we do not need. My guess is that a vast majority of users would prefer "normal" OLED at the same price rather than something industry-leading at a higher price.

The higher the prices, the higher the margins for Apple. This seems to be undisputed, so if you have something to argue against this, please feel free. I will say this bluntly despite maybe being rude, but the second part of your post is quite naive. You actually believe Apple ups the price just to offset the cost of parts, without factoring in their fat margin (which gets fatter as you climb higher up the price ladder)?

Pre-orders in June would cut into back to school sales.

After the iPadOS 15 disappointment following the 2021 M1 iPad Pro release, I just can't get myself psyched up for believing this only to be crushed again.

Oh, I agree. I’m just trying to be optimistic for once🤣

Pppff iPads at WWDC is to far away for me, my M1 needs replacement now or a new battery.

Already? Damn. And i thought my 2018 Pro’s battery was bad. It’s probably 3-4 hours battery now, but it has been 5.5 years.

Coconut says it’s at 80% but 20%-0% is a matter of minutes now.

So it’s or broken or worn out, it’s a launch model and I use it everyday for at least 4 hours, it has north of 500 cycles.

Each to his own, and I most respect high ethical standards. Not sketchy to me. I've already talked to the apple manager at the local Costco box, and he was cool with the refund idea. But will the 90 days run out before 2024s become available?
