Pretty sure they know these products have flaws like bend gate 2.0 and OLED-gate. As always proceed to sell cause after the initial buyer remorse period the fault will show and they already got their money blaming users.
Got a tip for us?

Not everyone replaces their slightly worn bluetooth keyboards, mice, or trackpads with older lighting power connectors. Apple charges too much. A good quality USB-C to lightning 1 meter cable is $7.95, 2 meter is $9.95. Apple still changes $19 for 1 meter. $29 for 2 meters. To buy just the same peripherals with a USB-C connector is getting you what, less cables to have thats all. But you still are buying more stuff in most instances.
I really hope these sources prove to be correct! I was a bit disappointed by Gruman's suggestion for a possible April launch, so an announcement this week would be very nice!
Personally, I don't have an issue with press releases. Whether its a spec bump or complete redesign.
It's generally accepted by 100% of users that hardware is not the issue. Software is. Even if the iPad Pro comes with the most impressive spec sheet, iPadOS 17 is still blocking the product that the 13" MacBook Air can do. [for the same price]
We could be in another M1 iPad scenario, where it all comes down to WWDC in June. iPadOS 18 being the real deal and the iPad Pro that comes after [2025] is where we get the event.

Apple can still launch in April, but do announcements this week with pre-orders.
M3 Pro Mac mini would be great. Drop the price of the Studio Display a bit also.
I'm just waiting on an updated USB-C Magic Trackpad. Isn't that suppose to release sometime soon?
You think its iPads but its a new finewoven strap for Vision Pro. $300.
It seems more than odd to react to these announcements with the statement that “Apple is dying”.Apple is dying
I’m still rocking an iPad Pro with the M1 chip and it hasn’t shown any signs of being slow. I’m still able to edit my R5 photos with ease, so I’m not sure why I would want to upgrade to a M3.
OLED for me more than anything

I'll reach 2000 full charge cycles with my iPad Pro 2018 soon. 2000 is a nice number? Thats a good reason to upgrade right? Right? RIGHT?!
Sure hope the SE4 will come 2025, later is better. My SE2 is doing just fine.

What does that have to do with anything???Apple is dying
Who wants to wait for April... we need them March, even better if announced tomorrow before lunchtime... or before breakfast and then I can swing by and buy a new iPad for my cat as it has been complaining for months now that it needs a new iPad.
They are a business... Why sell 256 if 128 sells well and you can pocket the upgrade costs from customers who need it.
Tell that to my cat, it's so impatient. Already got its credit card out and Im asking how it plans to pay for it when its food already costs way more than last year. But its gluttonous... it never stops whinging, always wanting more and more until its on its back, al big and fat scrolling through the Apple website telling me its M3 or nothing.
I’m sure that Apple is dying to release these new products.
Yes, I was thinking $899 256 GB for the 11". Not $999 - too high, and it also creates a hole in the model tiers.
Also, when the iPad Air gets updated, I'm thinking it will be 128 GB base, again with a price increase. So:
iPad 64 GB base
iPad Air/mini 128 GB base
iPad Pro 256 GB base
I think Tuesday, 5 March, will see the iPhone and iPad OS updated to comply with the EU mandate. Europe is +8 hours for Phoenix so midnight on Tuesday in the UK is 4PM in Arizona. The stage coach changes to a pumpkin at 00:01 in the EU on 6 March. The new tweaked OS for each platform has to be ready to go at that time and ready for downloads in the EU.
If a 2024 iPad Pro M3 3nm comes out I will buy one and will pass down my 2018 iPad Pro A12X 7nm to a user assigned a 2013 iPad Air A7 28nm.
That iPad Air received iOS 12.5.7 more than 13 months ago. Since last month we are currently on iPadOS 17.3.1.
