We've heard that the new iPad Pro may launch as early as April, and news about its design, processor, and more has been spreading for months. However, the latest information is bad news and surrounds the tablet screen. According to a Bloomberg report, Apple is struggling to purchase enough screens for its upcoming iPad Pro models; Gossip suggests that Slate was ready to use Mini LED technology for its displays, and the report asserts that "there are drawbacks on this front." It's unclear exactly why not enough screens are being made, but the report allegedly states that at least one manufacturer has stopped making the screens, suggesting this is either a production or supply issue. There is an ongoing chipset shortage plaguing technology around the world, which could supposedly continue until XNUMX, but by all accounts this is a separate issue.
Less iPad Pro to buy
If Apple struggles to find screens for its iPad Pros, chances are there will be fewer iPad Pros to buy as a result. This could make purchasing one of the new tablets at launch more difficult than expected. We saw something similar happen with the iPad Air XNUMX, which was hard to buy at launch, and some buyers had to wait a while to get one. Consequently, if you want to buy a new iPad Pro, you should be on the lookout for the announcement of the launch date, since that day could be vital for the acquisition of the tablet in the first months after its announcement. Alternatively, gossip suggests that the new iPad Pro won't be much, much different from the iPad Pro XNUMX, which only had a few updates over the XNUMX models. More processing power, think one of those older iPad Pros, or even the iPad Air XNUMX that has a lot in common with them.
