Updated information about next weeks iPad Pro

(a thread)
Still expect a press release on April 14th. As far as I’m aware, at least some of the models will be available, but don’t expect all models to be.
2021 11” iPad Pro, as far as I’m aware at the moment, is basically just a refresh. It’ll be backwards compatible with last years keyboards and such. It’ll have A14X, and that’s basically it.
The 5G variants will not be available to order next week. Those are being reserved for a later time, likely related to supply chain reasons.
2021 12.9” iPad Pro is an interesting one. Its chassis will be changing quite a bit and might not be backwards compatible, since MiniLED = thicker chassis.
I am not entirely sure if the 12.9” model will be available to order next week. However if it is available, expect supply to be *very* tight. I’ll keep you all updated on this detail.
iOS 14.5 will be launching alongside these new iPad Pros as well.

I was given some details about the new Keyboard, however will not be publishing them quite yet.
TLDR: 5G variants not next week, only Wi-Fi variants. And even then, I’m not sure if the 12.9” will even be available. That’s something I’ll have to update you all on later.
Once again, take it all with a grain of salt. I haven’t verified the source yet, and whether or not these leaks are correct will be the point of verification.

Would like to remind all of you that 16” MacBook Pro, AirPods Pro, 2020 iPad Pro, and iPhone SE all dropped on WEDNESDAYS. Not Tuesdays.

If the 2021 iPad Pro were coming this week — it probably wouldn’t be today. (thread)
I’m not saying there won’t be a press release today, I’m just saying there aren’t enough signs for me to get hyped for it personally.
Also, if Kang is to be trusted, then iPad Pro has only been in production for about 2-3 weeks, which is shorter than the typical 4-6 weeks of prelaunch production that Apple usually does.
