This is one of those news that we have to take with tweezers since it is not official at all, so in advance explain that it is a rumor that comes from an Apple component supply chain, in which they explain that the iPad sales would start in the summer of this year. The truth is Nor would anything happen if the iPad were to be delayed a little more than expected, which would be for this upcoming month of March, but all this must be qualified a little more.
Actually the renewal cycle of the last iPad launched does not add up and is that the 12,9-inch model was launched last September 2015 and the 9,7-inch Pro arrived in March of last year. It is clear that the dates could be both and it is that in the previous iPad launches (except the first one presented by Jobs in January 2010) it has been established between the months of September, March and October.
That is why, as the DigiTimes medium says in this leak, the new iPad models that for this 2017 are rumored to be 3 They could go on sale during the month of September as did the 12,9-inch iPad Pro. Nobody doubts that this is the case, but getting the date right could be "relatively easy" if we take into account the history of iPad models, seeing that The iPad mini was launched in October and the rest of the models between March and September. Little by little more details about these new iPads are arriving and we are sure that they will continue to increase as the days go by.
