Apple introduced brand new iPad Pro models last week and caused quite a stir. While interested parties can pre-order the devices on April 30th, a specific delivery date is not yet known. Now a leaker has spoken out.
The new iPad Pro series uses Apple's M1 chip - news that came as a bombshell. But the 12.9-inch model has received another notable update. The device uses an XDR display that features miniLED technology. Both devices will be available for pre-order from Apple from April 30th. The company says delivery will take place in the second half of May. Now YouTuber and leaker Jon Prosser has spoken out reportedAccording to his current information, the 11-inch model will be delivered on May 22nd, which is a Saturday.
iPad Pro 2021: Apple is said to be affected by chip shortage
The larger 12.9-inch model, with brand new display technology, is set to hit shelves on May 21st. The strange thing about these dates is May 22nd. After all, it is a Saturday. A look into the past shows that Apple has never debuted a product on a Saturday. Therefore, the date should be noted. However, it is not certain. Even before Apple's product announcement, reports suggested that Apple was suffering from significant supply bottlenecks. The ongoing chip shortage is reportedly affecting several of Apple's suppliers. The delay between the announcement and the delivery of the new devices seems to confirm these reports. Nevertheless, Apple has announced products in the past that were only delivered weeks later, so the situation is not entirely unusual. (Image: Apple)
