I think I will avoid the first gen OLED and wait to see how it plays out.
Did you miss the article about how Apple has repeatedly delayed the launch?
I predict the new iPads are coming "within months".
Expect there to be price increases and limited supply!

You can just get an M2 or M1 iPad Pro and all you're going to miss out on is OLED and some small spec upgrades that'll be next imperceptible unless you're running synthetic benchmarks.
And besides, no iPad has or will ever get any kind of cooling system which means that it'll throttle even if you ever were allowed to throw something demanding at it.
Or you can buy a M1, M2, or (future) M3 Mac mini, in the $599-ish baseline configuration, and it'll run a good bit cooler and faster than this upcoming M3 iPad Pro because it has a fan.
iPad Pro is as limited and useless for a "Pro" workflow as any iPhone Pro is, or really any current iPhone or iPad.
M3 and 16GB of RAM or more doesn't mean a whole lot when it's trapped inside a big
When it says “launch”
2nd week of May, does that mean they will be available then or just announcement 2nd week of May??

Minus legit artists, who wants this nonsense? Why would I pay $1500 for this when an MBA is cheaper or the same with spec bumps? This has become a foolish product.
I hope we get Mac Studio. I need to replace my 2015 iMac.
My student discount has now ran out. If they had released it in March I would have still been eligible.
My guess would be they will not be compatible unfortunately. If they’re doing a complete redesign on the keyboard, then I suspect the connector and magnets will be moved around. I’m already planning on another $300 or so for the new keyboard.
It's just oled. Been around for years.
Nothing Gurman reports isn’t vetted by Apple. If he releases disinformation it’s coming from Apple, not him.
Early February I decided to look into getting an iPad for note taking at uni and figured it’ll be worth waiting for the new oled models that would surely release in just a month. Maybe I should’ve taken those $150 off deals back then but now we’re in too deep… Another month it is then! (please don’t be a WWDC release)
If they were around back then I would have totally used an iPad Mini for note taking at college.
OLED yes but Apple is repotedly doing a double stacked panel design so I'm not sure.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
No date matter unless Apple ships out the product to my doorstep.
