iPad Air 3 Release Date Delay News, Rumors: Upcoming iPad Pro 2016 Launch Stalls iPad Air 3?
Apple fanatics are looking forward to getting their hands on the up and coming iPad Pro 2016, as well as the iPad Air 3 sometime later. However, rumors are claiming that the release of the iPad Pro 2016 has stalled or delayed the launch of the iPad Air 3.
While there is no official release date slated for the iPad Pro 2016 just yet, media outlets are narrowing down the possible dates. According to iDigital Times, the rumored release date for the iPad Pro 2016 is Nov. 6, however that remains speculation.
Drawing some more information about a release date like that, sources are saying that a November 6 launch wouldn't be totally out of character for Apple. Even though Apple has gone ahead and stated they're going to make the iPad Pro 2016 available in November, they failed for provide a specific date.
The rumors take a step further and say that Apple's Chinese supply chain is the main reason why reports are claiming Nov. 6. On that note, the company has also been quiet about that piece of information.
If this is the case, and techies are going to get their hands on the tablet soon, there's a chance that the launch has affected the iPad Air 3. According to a source, Yibada, Apple had plans to announce the iPad Air 3 before the iPad Pro 2016, however it seems that things have turned upside-down.
Some Apple fans might be upset with this decision while others might have been looking forward to the iPad Pro 2016 more than the iPad Air 3. Evidently, that's a point of preference, but fans should remember that both devices will eventually be out on the market.
Reasons for Apple's decision have been speculated but not confirmed. Some say Apple felt the devices would cut into eachother's sales, therefore they chose to launch one before the other.
This leaves many wondering when is the iPad Air 3 going to release then, if it has supposedly been delayed by the iPad Pro 2016. Leave it to the rumors again, as some sources say Spring 2016 might just be the season for an iPad Air 3 release.
