The 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPads that Apple is expected to debut at a March event aren't expected to ship*until May or June, supply chain sources tell (http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20170223PD209.html) DigiTimes. An entry-level 9.7-inch iPad, however, is expected to ship*within close proximity of the March event.

http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/11/ipadprodesign-1-e1487913806511.jpgIn January, DigiTimes reported (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/19/new-ipads-second-half-of-2017/) that the 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPads were expected to enter mass production in the Q2 of 2017 while the 9.7-inch iPad would enter mass production in Q1 2017.*The potential release dates partly line up with a recent report (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/20/ipad-pro-march-event-128gb-iphone-se/) from Mac Otakara, which said the 10.5-inch iPad may **t be ready to ship until May. However, that report said the three other iPad models rumored to debut at the March event, new 7.9-inch, 9.7-inch and 12.9-inch iPads, are expected to ship in March.

12.9-inch iPad shipments have been drying up (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/09/12-9-inch-ipad-pro-in-short-supply/) around the world in recent weeks, slipping to shipping estimates of 2-3 weeks in the United States, Canada, Australia, France, Germany and Japan. While increasing shipping times are a sign of an impending refresh, in this case it seems to be a supply issue.

During Apple's latest earning call (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/01/31/q1-2017-results/), CEO Tim Cook (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/tim-cook/) said that the company underestimated iPad demand in the past quarter and had an issue with one of its suppliers. Cook said the issue would probably **t be resolved this quarter, likely leading to shriveling 12.9-inch iPad stock.*Similarly, the supply issue could keep the refreshed 12.9-inch iPad from shipping before May.

The new 10.5-inch model*is expected to be the flagship model in Apple's new iPad lineup, sporting an edge-to-edge display on the same footprint (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/28/bezel-free-10-9-ipad-pro-**-home-button/)*as the current 9.7-inch iPad. Alongside new iPads at a March event, Apple is also expected to debut a 128 GB iPhone SE (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-se/) and red iPhone 7 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/) and 7 Plus color variations.
