Here’s how to order the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro online

If you really like the looks of Apple’s new 9,7-inch iPad Pro, you’re probably really itching to get your paws on one. Although we’ve heard that good things come to those who wait, we think the merits of impatience are seriously undervalued. Therefore, we understand your need to be one of the first to own the newest addition to the iPad family. For those of you looking to order the new iPad Pro online, here is a full list of all the retailers and carriers who are offering the new tablet.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is available in stores as of Thursday, March 31, so you can try your chances there. Of course, you can order online instead, but unless you were one of the first to place your pre-order once the clock struck 12:01 a.m. PDT on March 24, you’ll almost definitely be receiving your new iPad in the mail after it’s been released in stores.

That said, ordering online will ensure you get the exact model you want and allow you to bypass the lines. Plus, you can order your new iPad while wearing pajamas — aka “thinking pants” — and licking Cheetos remnants off your fingertips. What do you have to lose?

The next iPad may miss out on Apple’s biggest new feature
Two hands holding an iPad.

Apple Intelligence is, without a doubt, the biggest advancement Apple has made in years — so it's surprising that the next iPad might not have those features. The iPad 11 could ship with the older T8120 processor, and that likely means it will use the A16 chipset. The A16 chipset, powerful though it might be, doesn't offer the same level of support for Apple Intelligence features as newer models.

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, along with the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, both use this chipset. According to MacRumors, the information is backed by a source that chose to remain anonymous; however, it also contradicts what Mark Gurman has previously said, and Gurman has the more proven track record.

According to The Elec (via MacRumors), production is shifting to manufacturing iPhone displays, which could delay the launch of the world's first iPad Air with OLED.

According to the report, LG Display hopes to maintain its current production of iPad OLED inventory until the end of February. By then, it hopes Apple will give it the go-ahead to shift production to OLED iPhone panels.
