• Target may have accidentally leaked the new 2021 11-inch iPad Pro.
• A customer found a case from Speck that refers to the new device.

Target may have accidentally leaked that Apple is releasing its new 11-inch iPad Pro this spring.

In a post on Reddit, user nanosplitter21 posted a photo of a new iPad case from Speck that he found at a local Target. The information on the case specifies that it was designed for the 2021 11-inch iPad. He also noted that, when he attempted to purchase the case, he was told that it should not have been on the shelf and that it would not be available until April 6.

"Target leaked the new iPad to me, when I tried to buy this case it errored and said "This item can't be sold until 4/06" and an employee told me that item shouldn't have been on the floor yet."

While the Speck case does not say it is specifically for the expected 11-inch iPad Pro, it is all but certain. Apple just released the new iPad Air in the fall, and the case refers to that device separately, so it is unlikely to be a new generation of that device. A base-model iPad is also unlikely, as reports so far have said that the new iPad will feature a 10.5-inch display. Of course, Speck could just be rounding up, but that seems less likely. Granted, I would jump at a base-model 11-inch iPad that looks like the iPad Air and iPad Pro that came before it.

What is most likely is that the case is referring to the refresh of the 11-inch iPad Pro, which is expected to feature a Mini-LED display, 5G connectivity, and a new processor. Apple is rumored to be hosting an event on March 23, so we may all soon find out what Target accidentally leaked.
