Rumor Claims New OLED iPad Pro Will Come With Huge Price Increase

A new rumor from yeux1122 claims Apple's next generation iPad Pro featuring an OLED display will come with a huge price increase.

Apple is expected to debut new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models this year. The tablets are likely to move to a superior OLED display and utilize the company's new M3 processor.

Currently, the 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $799 and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro starts at $1099. Today's rumor predicts these starting prices will change to $1500 and $1800 respectively, an absolutely huge jump of $700 per model.


Here's a Google translated version of the rumor:

------
● 11-inch 13-inch world's first two-stack tandem application 1st
* Emphasizes the highest specs and dip quality in the same inch range
** Main specifications improved by 1.5 to 2 times compared to existing AMOLED

● especially. Contrast ratio, performance ratio, and brightness are improved by more than 2 times compared to the same power consumption.

● Apply new design code


● 2nd promotional point for the thinnest and lightest tablet in history

● Minimum price departure
*11-inch Pro starting from around $1,500 and 13-inch Pro starting from $1,800-2,000
** Expected 3rd marketing point to increase basic capacity
-----

Though the OLED display is likely to increase costs for Apple, it's seems improbable that the company would boost prices so drastically unless it drops models with less than 512GB or 1TB storage capacities.

We could see the new iPad Pro arrive as early as March. Please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for more updates.
