Apple could charge more for its tablet than a MacBook Pro

Korean website The Elek, which specializes in electronic components, says the price of Apple’s OLED iPad, which is expected in 2024, could skyrocket.

The technologies that the Cupertino company would like to implement in the iPad Pro OLED are extremely expensive. This technical sheet made up of the best in terms of components coupled with the big Apple’s profit margin, estimated at 33% or moreexplains, according to The Elekwhy the future slates of the apple risk being unaffordable for ordinary customers.

According to the Korean site, very familiar with Apple’s supply chain, the switch to OLED panels will drive up prices. Displays produced for next year’s range cost two to three times as much as current mini LEDs. It is also rumored that Apple plans to offer an even larger iPad Pro. If this project materializes, and if it enjoys, why not, the Apple Silicon M4 chip, we can expect its price to flirt with the 1800 €, the price of a 13-inch MacBook Pro entry-level, if Revegnus’ tweet on Twitter is to be believed.

The 2024 iPad Pros could really cost more

The calculation of the journalists is relentless: the 13-inch OLED screen currently costs Apple $350. As it is the most expensive component of the device, we can consider that the Cupertino company will charge a high price to the end user. The brand’s most loyal customers are always ready to afford the best in smartphones, but will it be the same for tablets?

In terms of pricing policy, we can say that Apple is rarely cold-eyed. But the prices it could charge for the OLED iPad Pros in 2024 could end up infuriating even the brand’s most staunch fans. The 11-inch 128 GB iPad Pro, the most affordable in the range, is already priced at €1,069 on the Apple store. Apple is in negotiations with its suppliers, but uncertainty reigns over their ability to meet expectations in terms of quality, quantity and price.
