Apple's spring conference was a disappointment, when exactly will the new iPad arrive?

The loldest month of March

For many years, Apple will release a batch of new products in March, June, and September every year, and March has passed this year, and it is obvious that Apple has been unusually deserted in March this year, and everyone has not seen any real new products.

We can take a look at the historical products released in the previous spring:

· March 18, 2020: Apple unveiled the new fourth-generation iPad Pro and MacBook Air, and the iPhone SE 2 hit the shelves in April.

· April 20, 2021: Apple released new colors for the all-new 24-inch iMac, AirTag, new iPad Pro, and iPhone 12.

· March 8, 2022: Apple unveils a slew of new products, including new colors for iPhone SE, Mac Studio, Studio Display, and iPhone 13.

· January and March 2023: This is a special year, with Apple unveiling the new MacBook Pro/Mac mini in January, followed by new colors for the iPhone 14 in March.

At this time, you can find that Apple's spring conference has almost always updated products such as iPads and Macs for several years, but in March 2024, Apple will only release a new MacBook Air M3 chip version.

As well as some new colors of cases and straps.

The new MacBook Air is said to be new, but in fact, the M3 chip has long been a product of last year, and the MacBook Pro M3 with the same chip is now on sale on the official website, and it is even about the same price as the Air with the same configuration...

At the moment, apart from some bloggers, there are really few people who will buy the new M3 MacBook Air, which really doesn't make much sense.

The OLED version of the new iPad Pro that has long been confirmed to be released, the iPad Air large-screen version, was not released as scheduled in March, especially the Air, which has not been updated for a long time, and it is still the chip of M1.

It's also a rare occurrence of a few pre-launch exposures that go wrong, after all, it's an old tradition to update the Mac and iPad at the spring launch, just like the iPhone update in September.

Recently, Bloomberg also said that Apple may delay the release of the new iPad series due to some technical problems with the iPad Pro OLED screen.

But the time is uncertain, it may be the end of April, or it may be May, and in 2021, Apple has also released new spring products in April, so everyone can only wait another month.

Due to the sharp decline in Apple's sales and performance in recent years, the market value has also been completely surpassed by Microsoft, losing the first place, seeing that Nvidia is also going to surpass Apple, if it continues like this, Apple is afraid that the second place will not be able to keep it.

So Apple should be planning to think about new products, after all, Apple is such a large company, in fact, there are only a few new products a year, as long as there are a few sales of non-good, then this year may not be good.

Just like the first new MacBook Air M3 this year, it's hard for me to understand why Apple did this, such an expensive computer actually comes standard with 256+8GB memory combination, and the 512GB version can buy a MacBook Pro with the same configuration at a special price, which is really incomprehensible.

In fact, in my heart, Apple's products are really good, whether it is quality, design level and software combination are first-class, but the excessive pursuit of profit does make it difficult for consumers to choose.

Just like me, a MacBook Air M1 has been used for so many years, it's not that I don't want to change it, but I really don't want to be wronged, I really don't want to spend thousands of yuan to add that worthless configuration, but it doesn't work well if I don't add it.
