2024 iPad Pro Pre-Order Date & Time: What You Need to Know

Apple’s new 2024 iPad Pros will go on sale soon and We’ve been getting a lot of questions about 2024 iPad Pro pre-orders. We’ll answer as many as we can in this guide.

As we push deeper into April, anticipation around the new iPad Pros is building, especially now that Apple’s confirmed a special event on May 7th.

We expect the new 2024 iPad Pros to go on sale soon after the announcement. A pre-order period should culminate in a release a few days later.

With that in mind, here’s what you need to know about 2024 iPad Pro pre-orders as we push toward the company’s inevitable announcement.

2024 iPad Pro Pre-Order Date

The new iPad Pro models will launch on May 7th at Apple’s special event.

Apple is expected to release four 2024 iPad Pro models. We’ll see two different screen sizes as well as Wi-Fi only and cellular-enabled models.

These devices should share a pre-order period and a release date.

2024 iPad Pro Pre-Order Time

We expect the company to start taking orders for the new iPad Pro models soon after the event concludes.

If Apple starts selling the new iPad Pro on May 7th, it will happen sometime after 7AM Pacific. The live stream starts at 7AM Pacific/10AM Eastern.

If the pre-order period starts a few days after the event, on Friday for instance, we may see pre-orders open up at 5AM Pacific Time.

Apple’s used this timing many times in the past, most recently when it announced and started selling, the new M3-powered MacBook Air.

Where to Buy the New iPad Pro

Once 2024 iPad Pro pre-orders open up, you should be able to buy the device at a number of different places. From Apple, to carriers, to retailers, there will be plenty of options.

As we’ve noted many times in the past, the Apple Store app is often the quickest, and easiest, way to pre-order a new Apple device.

The app is free to download and it lets you buy a new iPad the same way you would through Apple’s website.

You can expect the new iPad Pro’s to be compatible with a wide range of carriers, so if you aren’t stuck with one, make sure you shop around before pre-orders begin.

2024 iPad Pro Price & Trade-Ins

There’s been a lot of back and forth about the price of the 2024 iPad Pro. While nothing is confirmed yet, we may see the price jump up.

Right now, the 11-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ starts at $799 while the 12.9-inch ‌iPad Pro‌ starts at $1099. It’s unclear how big of a jump we could see, but rumors suggest it could be a fairly significant increase.

That might be a tough pill to swallow, but there will be trade-in offers available when pre-orders begin. These will help you save money. In some cases, a lot of it. You can check Apple’s current trade-in values on its website.

Apple’s new iPad Pro’s are expected to usher in a new era for the company’s high-end tablet lineup. The device will reportedly come with an OLED display, a better front-facing camera, and better performance.
