Apple is widely expected to debut its first iPad Pro models with OLED displays in 2024 and a neww supply chain report today out of South Korea suggests that Apple is also planning a big price increase for the lineup.
The supply chain blog The Elec reports today that Apple is currently targeting a $1,500 starting price for the 11-inch iPad Pro with OLED and a $1,800 starting price for the 12.9-inch version.
This would be a significant price increase compared to the current iPad Pro lineup. As it stands today, the 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $799, while the 12.9-inch iPad Pro starts at $1,099.

Definitely give that a miss. Shame. At that price a MacBook is a much better choice IMHO. Probably it will be a good time to buy a refurb model and wait a few years for micro LED displays.
I was dumb before, but today, I am still as dumb as a box of alien rocks.
so apple is deciding not to sell any more iPad pros
Jason and BOB, are both right.
OLED is NOT a compelling enough. The current iPad experience cannot be fixed with OLED.…and my family only uses iPads as our computing device of choice, so I consider myself their target audience. The average person will not notice enough difference with OLED with money getting tighter to justify the price, tech YouTubers will…for their 15 minutes of fame.
The improvements needed by iPad aren’t with it’s hardware, see my rants below.
I now call iPadOS, TransOS, because it’s trying to be both a Mac and iPad and failing at both.
Overly complex gestures that only a contortionist would appreciate.
So called ‘pro’ features that no one outside of tech YouTubers asked for…funny how all them them still you their Macs for day-to-day, this was NOT the group of people to listen too.
A plethora of on-system app/menu nag screens that look more like the old days of windows asking you to confirm or deny your request, I mean how many times do I need to confirm to delete something!
Buying expensive products to be advertised too, does not a good customer experience make…I’m talking too you Apple News app!
And let’s face the fact that Apple has turned it’s loyal (for now) customer base into a bunch of ‘beta testers’ with each rollout. Getting a finished and polished product ended a long time ago at Apple.
Apple if you want to increase your revenue, cut 50% of your woke workforce…I mean diversity teams, seriously…you need a team to tell you people are different?! You’ve done more than any company I know to help the environment and the green people still bitch you’re not doing enough…well what the hell have they done…are they taking public transportation when they shop at WholeFoods?! Don’t raise prices on a device that many are now starting to question its value.
Rant over.
So we no longer have the iPad Pro, but an expensive iPad Poo?
You had me until the last paragraph.
unfortunately Apple has become Microsoft.
LOL, pass at those prices.
Those prices will never come to pass anytime soon. It is simply more baseless speculation.
Don’t count on it, remember who still CEO Bean Counter Chain Tim.
Yikes. I’ll overpay for a lot of things. But not THAT much.
That’s cheap at half the price!
