We didn’t see changes to the iPad lineup in 2023, but that won’t be the case in 2024. Apple’s working on a new iPad Pro and the device is rumored to have significant changes on board.

If you’re in the market for a new tablet, you’ll want to take a long look at Apple’s iPad, iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini lines. These are all among the best tablets out on the market right now and they should be on your shopping list if you want to buy a new tablet.

The iPad Pro line represents Apple’s high-end and it’s aimed at people who want a ton of horsepower for video editing, intense multitasking, and gaming.

While many of you will be perfectly fine buying a new iPad right now, others may want to hang back and wait for the next version of the iPad Pro.

2024 iPad Pro Rumors

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says there are multiple iPad Pros in development, codenamed J717, J718, J720 and J721 behind the scenes at Apple.

There will be four new devices because we’ll see two different screen sizes as well as Wi-Fi only and cellular-enabled 2024 iPad Pro models.

Apple is targeting a release in early 2024 which puts those of you in the hunt for a new tablet in a tough position. Upgrade right now or wait?

While there are some great reasons to buy a new tablet right this second, there are also some great reasons to hang around and wait for the new iPad Pros.

In this guide we’ll take you through the best reasons to consider waiting for the rumored 2024 iPad Pro and the best reasons to buy something else.

Wait for OLED Displays

Wait for OLED Displays

2024 iPad Pro rumors point to the arrival of OLED displays.

Display analyst Ross Young, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, South Korea's ETNews and several other sources all maintain that OLED iPad Pros will debut in 2024. This lines up with rumors we heard back in 2022. 

Young says that while Apple plans to bring OLED to the MacBook Air line, Apple's current focus is getting OLED displays ready for the iPad.

Back in the summer of 2022, ETNews said the new OLED iPads will feature a lightweight design and "unrivaled image quality." 

Apple's current iPad lineup features backlit LCD displays. If the company does move to OLED, you can expect the 2024 iPad Pro's display to offer better power consumption, higher contrast ratio, and improved color accuracy. 

The company has reportedly ordered OLED panels from LG Display and Samsung ahead of the 2024 iPad Pro launch. 

The Elec reports that Samsung will be the initial supplier of the 11-inch OLED screens while LG will produce displays for the 13-inch model. 

While the 2024 iPad Pro models will likely be the first models with OLED displays, Apple will reportedly bring the technology to the iPad Air and iPad mini.

Research firm Omdia believes OLED will land on the iPad Air and iPad mini starting in 2026. ETNews says we'll see an 8.7-inch iPad mini with OLED and a new 10.9-inch iPad Air with OLED in 2026.

That's a long way away so if you really want an OLED display on an iPad in the near future, you'll have to buy a newer iPad Pro.
