There is no better sign that something is being prepared in Cupertino for the near future than the fact that the pace of news about its upcoming releases start to accelerate, as is happening right now, with new information coming to us from the environment of its suppliers in Asia with more details on the debut dates of the new iPad 9.7 and iPad Pro 2018.
DigiTimes insists on a new iPad 9.7 2018 for this spring
How they tell us in 9to5mac, DigiTimes, a Taiwanese media that often leaves us news about the plans of large manufacturers thanks to its contacts in the supplier environment, once again insists that a new iPad 9.7 2018 is on its way and its launch is in the second quarter of the year, that is, throughout this spring.
It must be said that it is true that it is only half reliable, but we have to admit that more than once it has left us a good clue and, in fact, although there was some skepticism regarding its predictions of a new iPad 9.7 By the beginning of the year, a few weeks later we had documentary evidence that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), I was preparing the launch of new tablets. We continue, yes, without knowing what we can expect from it, because the only thing that has been mentioned about it is that it could be even cheaper.
New bets on a launch in the second half of the year for the iPad Pro 2018
Not only have they mentioned on this occasion the new iPad 9.7 models, but they have also made a reference to the iPad Pro 2018, although in this case much less surprising, because they place its launch in the second half of the year And this is what various leaks and analysts have been predicting since the end of last year, with the sole exception of a report that came out last week that pointed to the WWDC.
A presentation at the WWDC, being strict, does not exclude a launch in the second half thinking that this normally takes place at the end of the first, it is not an option to rule out even if it is a minority bet for the moment. In any case, as new sources insist on a somewhat longer wait, the most reasonable thing to do is to bet on debut in september next to the next iPhones.
Buy now or wait?
As always when the box of rumors about new models is uncovered, it is logical that doubts begin to enter us about whether we should wait for the 2018 iPad or buy one of those we already have in stores, but keep in mind that we are still far from having solid information on how much and what we can expect from the new models.
On the other hand, and this is especially aimed at those who are more interested in the cheapest model, we must not lose sight of the fact that right now we have iPad 9.7 at the best price We have seen it almost since its launch, with a discount of more than 50 euros on its official price and we do not know how long this offer can last, so it may not be worth losing too much in speculation.
