The launch of the new iPads It is always one of the most anticipated events in the tablet sector and, according to the latest news, we could have one closer than we expected, in time to compete with (or even anticipate) the arrival of tablet stores Android that are presented in the MWC.
Apple could start the year with a new iPad
The news has come to us from DigiTimes through MacRumors, and it would be very good to be confirmed, since the Taiwanese media points out that the launches of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), en 2018, among those who predicts that there will be new iPad, MacBook and Apple Watch models, they could start in March, without specifying, yes, which of them would debut before, although experts believe that, if the news is confirmed, the most likely candidate is the tablet.
The part of the prediction that refers to there will be new iPads in 2018 It is not particularly risky, of course, but the second one is, and in this sense it must be remembered that, although DigiTimes' contacts with the providers of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in Taiwan they leave us from time to time interesting clues about the plans of the Cupertino people, they are not always entirely accurate. For example, last year they predicted that the iPad Pro 10.5 would arrive in April, and the one that finally did was the iPad 9.7.
It would be the iPad 9.7 2018 surely, not the iPad Pro 2018
Bearing in mind that DigiTimes' track record is somewhat spotty, we would dare to say that even if there is a launch from Apple in March it is highly unlikely that it will be the successor to its flagship tablet. We already have several information about the iPad Pro 2018 launch and it seems that all agree that it would take place End of the year.
If you are going to see a new apple tablet this spring, the safest bet, therefore, is a new iPad 9.7: there has already been a previous leak that stated that the most affordable model would also be renewed in 2018 and in this case we would be facing an annual renewal cycle, which seems the reasonable minimum (the normal thing lately, in fact, is that they are more long).
A cheaper model?
Although it is not a new model of the iPad Pro, in any case, this could still be very interesting news, since the iPad 9.7 It has been enormously successful thanks to its low price (for an Apple tablet, of course). This same medium had also predicted that his successor would be even cheaper, which would undoubtedly make him a very dangerous rival for his Android rivals.
There is no more information, at the moment, regarding what we could expect from him, however, but it does not surprise us too much because it was not leaked much last year from the iPad 9.7 before his presentation, with all the rumors always centered on him iPad Pro. We will be attentive, in any case, to tell you if anything else is discovered.
Let's see if you put a USB port and give us a joy
