Both Gurman and Kuo reported in 2023 to expect some form of announcement to be made of the OLED iPad around March 2024. Gurman even wrote in his newsletter, Power On, that we can also expect the iPad Air in two sizes for the first time.

However, that improved quality, and inclusion of Apple's powerful M3 processor, will come with a hefty price tag of around $1,500 to $2,000, according to a rumor reported on by MacRumors. The OLED displays are "three times the price of those used in iPhones" and may be part of the reason why the launch of the new redesign was delayed to the backend of Q1, according to Kuo.
