Apple iPad Pro M3 12.9 inch 2023 (Rumors)

Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro M3 12.9-inch model is set to be one of the most expensive tablets on the market, with industry sources suggesting a starting price of $1,800. This is over 60% more expensive than the current iPad Pro 12.9-inch with mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display.

The high price is mainly due to the cost of procuring OLED panels, which are superior to the current mini-LED displays. Apple is in talks with Samsung and LG Display about the price of supplying the panels, which require production processes that have not been combined before for OLED panels of this size. The estimated supply price of OLED panels for the 12.9-inch device is said to be around $350.

While some believe that the price increase is justified given the switch to OLED technology, others are concerned that it may make it difficult to maintain sales. iPads lack the replacement demand of iPhones, and consumers may be hesitant to pay such a high price for a tablet.

Despite the high price, the iPad Pro M3 12.9-inch is expected to offer improved performance and features, making it a top choice for professionals and power users. The device is also rumored to include new features such as Face ID, 5G connectivity, and a higher refresh rate display. It remains to be seen whether the high price will deter consumers from purchasing the device, but it is likely to attract Apple’s loyal customer base.
