Apple plans to redesign the whole iPad lineup in 2024. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, this update covers many devices, including the iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Mini, and the entry-level iPad.
When to Expect the Changes
Sources expect Apple to release the new 11- and 13-inch iPad Pro models in the first half of 2024, while updates for the mid-range and lower-end iPads may arrive as early as March of that same year.
Anticipations for the Future
Rumor has stated that the next generation of iPad Pro devices will have OLED screens and run on the M3 chipset, which should result in improved performance. Meanwhile, the M2 chip is anticipated to enhance the capabilities of the upcoming iPad Air. Regarding the iPad Mini, it may have the A16 Bionic chip.
The Reliability of the Source
Although Mark Gurman has a reputation for being a reliable source of Apple-related news, Apple has not formally acknowledged these changes. This will be the first time Apple has upgraded the whole iPad lineup in a single year if its information turns out to be accurate.
New AirPods on the Horizon
Gurman also suggests that Apple may release new AirPods in the upcoming year in addition to improvements to the iPad. However, fans may need to wait a little longer because Apple anticipates launching the new AirPods Pro model in 2025.
