Apple Delays 14-Inch iPad Pro Release. The device was originally rumored to launch in early 2023, but it is now looking more likely that it will be released in late 2024. There are a few reasons for the delay. One reason is that Apple is reportedly facing supply chain constraints. The COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine have disrupted the global supply chain, making it difficult for Apple to get the components it needs to build its products. Another reason for the delay is that Apple is reportedly still working on the design of the 14-inch iPad Pro. The company is reportedly considering using an OLED display for the device, which would be a first for the iPad. OLED displays offer better contrast and viewing angles than LCD displays, but they are also more expensive.
