Since the M1 model the 12,9 has a mini-led display. Like the MBP now also has.
I sold my 11" M1 IPP based on rumors, too. Just recently purchased a used 12.9" Gen 6 (stiil under AppleCare+), because I tired of the seemingly endless wait. OTOH, I suspect the announcement will be made a week or so after it arrives at the house. I guess I have at least bought myself some time to read the evaluations of the new devices and OS.

Ahh for some reason I was only thinking about the 11 inch. Thanks for reminding me of the 12.9.

Did you not appreciate double the RAM on the M1? I reckon that would make a real world difference using the device.

Not enough of a difference that I noticed. And it was a weird situation. I got it on a massive discount from Best Buy around Christmas (like $300 off, but it only had the lowest ssd space), and thus I could sell it on Swappa for more than I paid...so the combination of the two was too hard to pass up.

Sounds like the new iPads will be released when iOS 17.5 is ready?

The good news is that the people living close to the places where TSMC has their fabs are safe. (TSMC's fabs are also safe and they're expecting to resume production overnight since the EUV machines weren't damaged, but I am, of course, more worried about Taiwan's population more than a manufacturer of chips).
Of course their well being and safety comes before anything that has to do with this release. Very kind of you to point this out 🙂

I doubt I'll upgrade my 12.9 6th gen. MiniLED = OLED without the burn in possibilities (though I doubt burn-in will be a problem for iPads, though you never know).
(then out comes my credit card the second the new iPads are announced) lol.

I'm surprised that no one posted this here yet. Here you go:

What does this registration tell us about the launch timeframe? Is there any precedent on this?

In the past, in 2020, 2 days after registration the iPad Pro 2020 was launched.
Registration: March 16, 2020
Launch: March 18, 2020
Maybe these two iPads will launch next week, and they are most likely iPad Air.
id rather get the pro out before the air but well see
If you look at the registration of the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), last year:
A first set of devices was registered on August 16, either the Pros or the regular ones.
A second set of devices on August 25.
Announcement: September 12
Pre-orders: September 15
Availability: September 22
If we take into account these intervals and Apple's propensity to announce such devices on a Tuesday, I'd say:
A second pair of devices will be registered next week, and then:
Announcement: April 23
Pre-orders: April 26
Availability: May 4
... and this would also line up with Gurman's report 🙂

A second pair of devices has been spotted in the database of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Hence, the estimation here above seems quite likely.
Two More New iPads Spotted in Regulatory Database
Yesterday, two unreleased Apple devices were discovered in Indian regulatory filings. A further two models have now been spotted ahead of the expected announcement of new iPad models next month. The second wave of listings, spotted by MySmartPrice, appears in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)...

Given that Apple announced they will hold their Q2 earnings call on May 2 - I guarantee you that new iPads will be announced by then (most likely by April 30). Q1 iPad sales were down 25% and Q2 is likely to be worse and since Apple never comments on unreleased products on the call - it would be super awkward to discuss iPad sales unless can at least highlight newly announced iPads to change the downward sales cycle.
Given up. Got a super sweet deal on a 12.9 6th gen with magic keyboard. Need it now for a project and this one will still be perfect. I'm sure will have some iPad envy in a couple of weeks but now that the 6th gens are super good and reliable for what I need.
