Apple is breaking traditions and departing from the normal product cycle by not releasing a new iPad model in 2023. According to Apple analyst Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the next major iPad refresh will be in spring 2024, in line with the company’s timeline. Meanwhile, Apple also surprised users with the sudden launch of the USB-C Apple Pencil.
Expectations are high for Apple’s future iPad models
iPad Pro: This model is about to receive its most significant update since its redesign in 2018 and the launch of the M1 chip in 2021. The high-end tablet is expected to feature an OLED display, house the M3 processor, offer advanced camera features and launch a revamped Magic Keyboard accessory. This highly anticipated release has been on the radar for over a year and will likely be announced at the spring 2024 event.
iPadAir: As reported by 9to5Mac, Apple will introduce four Air models, including a larger variant. All versions will have an LCD screen, work with the M2 processor and may include camera improvements. Additionally, new color options are on the way.
Bad news for the new iPad Pro! Expected feature may be canceled
Apple made an unexpected decision for the long-awaited new iPad Pro. According to emerging reports, OLED iPad Pro is postponed until another spring.
ipad mini: This compact tablet is expected to be upgraded to the A16 Bionic processor, as well as new color options. While this is expected to be a modest improvement, it’s likely to add to the tablet’s appeal.
ipad: Now in its eleventh generation, the standard model is gearing up for a processor upgrade and the potential introduction of new color options. It is estimated that this update will be relatively minor.
Apple also joined the trend: iPad with a giant screen is on the way!
A 12.9 inch version may be being developed for iPad Air. Apple, which wants to increase the competition between Pro and Air, will attract attention with the price.
Looking beyond the iPad lineup, Apple’s spring event could include announcements about new Mac models, a new iPhone color option, and the unveiling of the Apple Vision Pro release date. As spring approaches, more details are likely to emerge about Apple’s plans for this event. With significant upgrades and additions on the horizon, 2024 promises to be a pivotal year for enthusiasts of the device.
