Thank CTOnews.com netizens soft media Xinyou 1933769 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com November 12 News, Apple analyst Guo Mingyi released the latest iPad forecast report. He believes that the 2024 Apple iPad upgrade mainly focused on the M3 processor and OLED screen, of course, this is already a clich é.

He predicts that Apple will upgrade a batch of iPad and launch new models in 2024, but there is a big gap between shipments and the peak of 2022, with iPad shipments of 5200 to 54 million units in 2024. (CTOnews.com Note: about 50 million in 2023 and 63 million in 2022).

IPad Air (first quarter) the new iPad Air will be in mass production in the first quarter of 2024, at 10.9 inches and 12.9 inches, respectively.

Although the 12.9in iPad Air model does not have a mini-LED panel, it uses an Oxide oxide backplane (the same as the non-mini-LED iPad Pro specification), which provides better display performance than the 10.9in model.

OLED iPad Pro (end of first quarter or second quarter): two new OLED iPad Pro are scheduled for mass production from the end of the first quarter to the second quarter of 2024

The OLED iPad Pro will be equipped with an M3 processor and a more concise design.

The new iPad Pro OLED panel uses the same panel technology of iPhone 15 Pro and is superior to the existing mini-LED model in terms of display performance and power consumption.

Mass production will be delayed to the end of Q1 to Q2 of 2024 (compared to the beginning of Q1 originally planned) due to production problems with the OLED panel module.

If the price of the new 10.9-inch iPad Air remains the same, and the new 12.9-inch iPad Air must be more expensive than the 10.9-inch model, then if Apple wants to maintain the difference between the iPad Air and the iPad Pro, it means that the price of the new OLED iPad Pro may go up.

At present, OLED iPad Pro's shipping forecast for 2024 is about 6-8 million units, which is slightly weaker than the existing iPad Pro. It is speculated that the reason may be that the new OLED iPad is more expensive, leading more people to consider the 12.9in iPad Air.

Low-cost entry-level models (2H24): mass production of the new iPad mini has been postponed to the second half of next year (previously predicted as 1Q24).

The mass production time of the new iPad (11 generations) is 2H24.

The ninth generation iPad is expected to stop production (EOL) by the end of 2024.
