Pricing on the 11-inch OLED iPad Pro starts at $999 with 256GB of storage, and pricing on the 13-inch OLED iPad starts at $1,299.

For those looking for an iPad Pro size that's more affordable, Apple also launched a new iPad Air in the same 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, but the iPad Air is thicker and heavier, lacks an OLED display, uses Touch ID instead of Face ID, and has an M2 chip instead of an M4 chip.

Pricing starts at $599 for the 11-inch iPad Air with 128 GB of storage, while pricing starts at $799 for the 13-inch model.

No delays, Apple must be sitting on a lot of M4 chips
Or they still haven't overcome the 2018 iPad Pro gap...for most people that aren't digital artists or video editors, this iPad will do nothing more than any of the 2018-2022 iPads, which people already bought or are now available for much cheaper than the $999 starting price of the new iPad Pro.

I want one...but they will have to convince me at WWDC. For my use case, basically nothing will be improved except the screen quality (coming from an 11") The power is overkill, the weight/thinness is negated by the fact that it sits in the keyboard stand most of the time. The pencil squeeze gesture might be nice but I use my pencil maybe once a week.

Seems like a hard sell for Apple this year. Vision Pro and now iPad. Initial demand will be good, but after it dies quickly. I’m going to the store today and will see how much of a line there is.

Honestly I've never seen a line for a new iPad release.
There were for the very first 2 iPads. From the 3rd there isn't any queue since. I still have a photo of Sydney Apple store queue for iPad 2 😂

Look around (Geizhals, Idealo), there are already deals available here in Austria so I suspect it is the same in Germany!
There are some with 50-90 EUR less than Apples price, but I do like the Apple Store experience ;);)

I have the iPad Pro with the A12Z from 2020, and honestly, while it doesn't have a fancy double layer OLED and Pro pencil support (which does look pretty amazing as an upgrade), it's still incredibly powerful for what I sometimes need it for, which is sketching and such and photo editing, and it doesn't skip a beat.

Apple Silicon was already a beast before M1, and as you say, the old iPad Pros are still serviceable.
