It has been 18 months since the last iPad product was released. Although no new product capable of strongly unifying the market has emerged during this period, the continuous decline in iPad sales is undoubtedly a ringing alarm, reminding Apple that their competitors do exist.
Recently, there have finally been signs of a new version of the iPad emerging. Information from various suppliers and media outlets all confirm that Apple's new iPad is already in the planning stages and will officially launch in early May, just a month from now.
According to insiders, the new version of the iPad will feature the latest M3 chip and use an OLED screen, significantly improving the user experience and device performance. Additionally, the iPad Air will offer a 12.9-inch screen size option for the first time, a demand that many users have been calling for.
Information from suppliers suggests that Apple originally planned to launch this new product at the end of March to the beginning of April, but the launch was postponed to May due to both software and hardware not being ready.
Recently, Apple has been embroiled in legal turmoil, with antitrust lawsuits entangling the company for years. Internal instability could undoubtedly affect the progress and advancement of related industries. If the new product cannot reverse the declining trend, it could lead to a greater crisis, possibly causing confidence to collapse and stock prices to plummet.
