If nothing else,5month7The protagonist of Apple's special event is iPad Pro 2024,There are two sizes 11 inches and 13 inches,Its biggest attraction is the use of a new double-layer series structure OLED panel,It is expected that there will be some surprises in terms of brightness,At the same time, the life of the double-layer OLED panel will also be improved a lot。 Due to the addition of OLED panels, the thickness of both iPad Pros has decreased, especially the 13-inch model, and the supply chain exposure shows that the thickness of the machine is only 5mm, which is 1.4mm lower than the previous generation.
Of course, the yield rate of the double-layer series structure OLED panel is not too high, and the price increase of the new iPad Pro is estimated to be inevitable, and other configurations are expected to be just regular upgrades, including the M3 processor, and in terms of productivity, there may be some highlights with Apple Pencil 3!
As for iPad Air 2024, it can be basically confirmed that its size will increase to 12.9 inches, the largest size in the history of the Air series, in addition to the increase in size, the latest revelation said that the machine may also use the same Mini-LED display as the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro model, which means that the cost will increase, and the price increase is inevitable, but whether the screen has a high brush, this, is still a problem!
In short, there is no special press conference, which means that the new iPad will not have any major breakthroughs, and there will not be too many highlights, and fans who want to start can be mentally prepared!
