Apple will hold a press conference on March 2 to present three or four models of the iPad Pro 7.9, with screens of 9.7 inches, 10.5 inches, 12.9 inches and 2 inches. Information that appeared last week suggested that the first two models and the fourth iPad Pro XNUMX will be released in March, while the third will be released in May.
The information published today does not mention the 7.9-inch version of the iPad Pro 2, but it does indicate that the models with 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch screens will be launched in May-June. We are talking about a distance of two, three months, from the moment of the official presentation, a situation that is definitely not helpful for Apple's tablet sales.
At the moment, no reasons are given for the delayed release of these iPad Pro 2 models, especially since some iPad Pro models are starting to disappear from stocks. Problems with the production of some components could be the source of the delay in the launch of the new versions of the iPad Pro 2, but until there is more information from sources close to Apple, we only know that things will happen differently than many people expected.
Apple really needs these models of the iPad Pro 2 to substantially increase its sales of tablets in the next fiscal quarters. Although Apple has updated its iPad series of tablets annually, it has not been able to keep its customers interested in this series of products for a long time, so it is hard to say what will happen after the launch of the iPad Pro 2.
"Vendors have hoped that at least one of the two large-size tablets, the 10.5-inch iPad or the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, will be released in the first quarter of 2017 along with the entry-level 9.7-inch iPad. However, the sources said that they are now more certain that both of the planned two large-size models will not come until May-June, thereby affecting first-quarter sales of supply chain makers."
