Apple plans to launch new iPad Pro and iPad Air models featuring OLED displays, marking a first for its tablet line.

The upcoming iPad Pro models are expected to include the M3 chip, a slimmer profile, and smaller bezels among other design improvements.

iPad Air updates will likely feature the M2 chip and a new larger 12.9-inch display option.

Despite the addition of OLED technology, the price increase for the new iPad Pro may be around $160, less than some forecasts.

The release of the updated iPad models is targeted for the week of May 6, alongside new iterations of Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil.

These product refreshes occur as Apple contends with decreasing iPhone sales in China and various legal and regulatory challenges.

Apple is also focusing on AI technology enhancements and is preparing to announce its latest iOS 18 software in the near future.
