On January 7, the Japanese website Mac Otakara announced that Apple would release the ninth generation iPad in March this year, and on January 8, it also announced that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro would use Mini LED, with the same design but thicker, and would also be released in March.
On January 7, it was revealed that Mac Otakara had introduced the domestic supply chain for the ordinary version of the iPad. It said that the screen of the ninth generation iPad would still be 10.2 inches, but it would become significantly thinner. The body thickness would be only 6.3mm, and the weight would be reduced to 460g (now 490g). It is expected to use a full fit screen and support P3 color gamut. The bad news is that Apple will still use the old mold and maintain the Lightning interface. In terms of performance, it will naturally lag behind a generation, A13 bionic+4GB memory.
On January 8, Mac Otakara reported that the appearance design of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro would not change, but it would be 0.5mm thicker than the existing version. The reason may be that the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will use the Mini LED screen rumored for many years (with a large number of LED beads as backlight, stronger zoning control, stronger dynamic range and power consumption control).
However, the 11 inch iPad Pro will still maintain its existing thickness and will not use the Mini LED screen. The shape of the two camera modules remains the same, but the protruding height becomes smaller, the position of the speakers will change, and the openings will be reduced by 2/3 (the speakers are environmentally friendly?).
Although the details of Mac Otakara's revelations are rich and detailed, considering the release cycle and Guo Mingxuan's report in December last year, it was mentioned that the Mini LED iPad would only be mass produced in the first half of the year, and the appearance revelations may be true, but the release time may not be certain.
