Apple should launch a the latest iPad Pro at around March 2020, but according to DigiTimes shipments will only peak until after April, since component suppliers are still ramping up output following an extended Chinese New Year break.
The reason behind the longer-than-usual break is, of course, the coronavirus outbreak. DigiTimes says upstream supply chain partners kicked off component production for the new model before the Lunar New Year, but the epidemic has put on the break. As a result, shipments may peak at a monthly level of over 3.5 million units in Q2 2020, since assemblers will only start ramping up shipments from March.
