iPad 2024 launch date was suddenly postponed, why is that?

According to Mark Gurman, Bloomberg reporter, iPad 2024 will be delayed to launch in May 2024. The initial expected schedule for this product is April 2024. However, due to some problems in the production process of partner Samsung, Apple was forced to postpone the launch date by a month.

Previously, according to many sources, the new generation iPad 2024 will be introduced to global consumers including 2 versions: iPad Pro and iPad Air. The appearance of these 2024 iPad models is expected to create a boost for the global tablet market.

In particular, after a year of Apple not launching a new generation iPad, many technology lovers expect that the 2024 iPad model will have more groundbreaking and impressive improvements than its predecessors.

In leaked information, the new generation iPad Pro is expected to be equipped with an OLED screen and a new generation M3 chip. For iPad Air 2024, it will be divided into two versions including 12.9 inches and 10.9 inches. All OLED screens on 2024 iPad models will be made by manufacturer Samsung Display.

Why is the iPad 2024 launch delayed?

The reason why the iPad 2024 launch was delayed was due to problems with Samsung Display's 11-inch OLED screen production process, which caused the Korean manufacturer to not be able to hand over the necessary number of OLED screens to Apple in time. .

The above situation caused Apple to contact other partners, including manufacturer LG Display. According to information, Apple has transferred a number of orders for 12.9-inch OLED panels to LG Display to promptly produce and deliver OLED screens to Apple.

Because the above solutions take time to implement, Apple was forced to postpone the iPad 2024 launch date. The new schedule is expected to be announced in the near future.
