The launch of the iPad Pro has already been scheduled by the Apple company, those from CUpertino intending to bring their new tablet to the market by the end of this year, its partners already receiving preliminary information regarding the period in which they will deliver the first components.
The launch of the iPad Pro would take place during November, the Apple company intending to present its new product at a conference scheduled for October, as it happens every year, while the product could actually be available in stores only the following month , as has been happening for several years now.
The interesting part about iPad Pro launch is that Apple is very cautious regarding the number of components scheduled for the initial production, those from Cupertino estimating that the initial demand for their new tablet will be small, surprising the Asian analysts.
As expected, those from Foxconn will manufacture the new tablet, the launch of the iPad Pro being largely based on a large number of problem-free units produced by the Taiwanese company, but at the moment no one knows how many millions of units would be ordered.
Apple's upstream supply chain is expected to start supplying components for the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad in late-September and the device is expected to become available in the market after mid-November; however, Apple is rather cautious about placing related orders and the initial shipment volume is much lower than most market watchers' expectations, according to sources from the upstream supply chain. The tablet will be manufactured by Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry), the sources noted.
Considering that tablet sales continue to steadily decline, the launch of the iPad Pro could be seen as a move by Apple to attract customers from new market segments where its tablets have not been so successful, in despite the promotion.
The launch of the iPad Pro will take place in November, but until then we will also find out what the selling price Apple would have thought for the product, the initial estimates suggesting that Apple could ask for approximately 1000 dollars for the tablet, a suitable price for companies.
