Title: Apple Store Down Ahead of Rumored New iPad Pro Announcement Post by: HCK on October 18, 2022, 04:05:02 pm Apple Store Down Ahead of Rumored New iPad Pro Announcement
Apple's online storefront has gone down ahead of the expected announcement of new iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) models via press release. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2022/07/apple-store-down.jpg) Upon the online store going down, Apple CEO Tim Cook (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/tim-cook/) seemingly tweeted a teaser for a new product announcement with the hashtag "#TakeNote," which could allude to the Apple Pencil (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/apple-pencil/) and the notetaking capabilities of the ‌iPad‌: <div class="center-wrap"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The possibilities are endless. #TakeNote (https://twitter.com/hashtag/TakeNote?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) pic.twitter.com/msmJg865tr (https://t.co/msmJg865tr)</p>— Tim Cook (@tim_cook) October 18, 2022 (https://twitter.com/tim_cook/status/1582340724711825408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div> Yesterday, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/mark-gurman/) said that Apple was planning to unveil (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/10/17/gurman-new-ipad-pro-october-18/) new iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) models today. The announcement is expected to come via a press release on Apple's Newsroom site. The next-generation ‌iPad Pro‌ models are expected to feature the M2 chip (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/13/new-ipad-models-launching-sept-oct/), MagSafe (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/magsafe-battery-pack/) wireless charging, two new four-pin connectors (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/08/10/two-new-connectors-coming-to-ipad-pro/) on the top and bottom side edges, and camera upgrades (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/13/new-ipad-models-launching-sept-oct/). The update has been expected for some time (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/01/major-retailer-preparing-for-2022-ipad-pro-launch/), not least because the current ‌iPad Pro‌ models are over 18 months old (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/25/ipad-pro-now-been-available-longer-than-any-other/). Apple is also rumored to be planning to release a 10th-generation entry-level iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/08/30/dont-buy-an-ipad-9-right-now/) with a larger 10.5-inch display, a USB-C port, flat edges (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/08/04/10th-generation-ipad-renders-rumor/), the A14 Bionic chip, 5G support on cellular models, and potentially a Touch ID power button and a landscape FaceTime camera (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/08/22/10th-gen-ipad-touch-id-power-button-rumor/). It remains unclear if this device will also be announced today alongside the new ‌iPad Pro‌ models.
