New iPad Pro And iPad Air On The Way? Apple's Longest Pause On New Models Might End In May
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has reportedly been gearing up to launch its new iPad Pro and iPad Air models.
据报道，苹果公司（纳斯达克股票代码：AAPL）正准备推出其新的iPad Pro和iPad Air机型。
What Happened: The new iPad Pro and iPad Air models are expected to be released in early May, according to sources familiar with the matter, reported Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman on Thursday. The new Pro model is rumored to feature OLED displays and a 12.9-inch screen for the iPad Air for the first time.
发生了什么：彭博专栏作家马克·古尔曼周四报道，知情人士称，新款iPad Pro和iPad Air机型预计将于5月初发布。有传言称，新款Pro机型将首次为iPad Air配备OLED显示屏和12.9英寸的屏幕。
This release will mark the end of the longest period without new iPad models since Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the product in 2010. The last update was about 18 months ago, contributing to a decline in tablet demand.
此次发布将标志着自苹果联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯于2010年推出新iPad机型以来最长的没有新iPad机型的时期的终结。最后一次更新是在大约18个月前，导致平板电脑需求下降。
The Cupertino, California-based tech giant is hoping that the new models, equipped with faster chips and updated accessories, will reinvigorate the category, Gurman noted.
古尔曼指出，这家总部位于加利福尼亚州库比蒂诺的科技巨头希望配备更快芯片和更新的配件的新型号能够重振该类别。
Why It Matters: Despite a surge in iPad sales during the pandemic, the numbers have dropped in the last two fiscal years. During the recent holiday season, sales saw a further 25% year-over-year decline, a period when the devices are typically popular as gifts.
为何重要：尽管在大流行期间iPad销量激增，但在过去两个财年中，这一数字有所下降。在最近的假日季中，销售额同比进一步下降了25％，在此期间，这些设备通常作为礼物很受欢迎。
The new iPad Pro models codenamed J717, J718, J720, and J721, will be powered by the new M3 chip and will be compatible with redesigned versions of the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil. This marks the first major update to the lineup since 2018.
代号为J717、J718、J720和J721的新iPad Pro机型将由新的M3芯片提供动力，并将兼容重新设计的妙控键盘和苹果铅笔版本。这标志着该阵容自2018年以来的首次重大更新。
