iPad Pro

Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.

We will keep this on your list as the date moves.

Reveal

The day it is shown to the world

Early days · Could still move by months

4 March 2027

in about 5 months

Almost certainly between 23 January and 30 April 2027 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.

Where we started When Apple usually launches No pattern for this model yet, so we started from the time of year Apple normally picks.

Reports behind it 3 separate stories Found across 4 articles. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.

Since last time No change Last changed on 5 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 23 Jan 2027 to 30 Apr 2027 (97 days wide), with a standard deviation of 36 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

Where you will be able to buy it

Probably worldwide Based on how this product line usually launches

Going on what this line normally does, not on anything said about this phone yet.

iPad normally launches worldwide.

No report so far has named a specific country for this one. That is normal early on: the market is usually only spelled out close to launch.

How this date has moved

Every time we changed our mind, we wrote it down and never touched it again.
