Despite a November release, the iPad Pro may be in short supply at launch, according to a DigiTimes report.

The site expects shipments to be under 3 million units in the fourth quarter.

iPad Pro's IGZO panel is currently supplied by Sharp only and LG Display will only be able to supply a small volume starting November, while supply from Samsung will begin in 2016. As a result, Apple is only able to start shipping the iPad Pro in November and its shipments will be between 2.5-3 million units in the fourth quarter of 2015, according to Digitimes Research.

The new iPad Pro features a large 12.9-inch display with 5.6 million pixels that delivers greater contrast, more uniform brightness and improved energy efficiency through photo alignment technology, oxide TFT and variable refresh rate. More details on the iPad Pro can be found here.
