The journalist ofBloombergMark Gurman estimates that new iPads could be revealed at the end of March, or in April. At the same time, the manufacturer, Apple, could also present a new Magic Keyboard and a new Bluetooth stylus for drawing on its flagship tablets. We do not know precisely the release day of these new products, but as no keynote is planned, it seems, it is perhaps through a simpler press release that Cupertino will reveal these products unpublished. This is also how the new thirteen-inch MacBook Airs were created,with an M3 chip under the hood.
Among all these new products, Apple is reportedly preparing11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Proto succeed previous generations. It is very likely that OLED panels will then be included, allowing you to benefit from better contrasts and deeper blacks. The display would be designed in partnership with LG Display and Samsung Display, companies also seen at the helm of outsourcing iPhone displays. So much information that Apple has of course not confirmed. As usual, the Cupertino giant prefers to keep its future announcements secret. For better or worse.
It is assumed that the new iPad Pros of 2024 will also be powered by a processorM3, in other words the one found under the chassis of the thirteen and fifteen inch MacBook Air or the most affordable 14 inch MacBook Pro.
iPad Air: a serious novelty planned for spring
The M3 chip, in fact, could also see the light of day under the hood of two iPad Air models. A major change, since until today, only one tablet in this range was offered by Apple. The news could be entitled to a big screen of12.9 inches, the same size as the diagonal of the largest iPad Pro.
The new iPad Air should not see their design revisited significantly. If the products are announced in March or April, as Mark Gurman suggests, then we can easily bet on a release date in stores before the Worldwide Developer Conference. This is held in June, but the date between the publication of an announcement press release and that of pre-orders is generally only a few days, for Apple tablets as for its high-end iPhones. .
As a reminder, today, iPad Airs are available with a single diagonal size of10.9 inches. The small model to follow could, however, increase this size to a height of 11 inches, but this remains to be verified. Count on 789 euros for the fifth generation iPad Air, available in the Apple Store at the moment. For comparison, the iPad Pros are much more expensive today but they have a LiDAR radar and a telephoto lens on the back, unlike the iPad Pros.iPad Air.
Apple Pencil: towards a third version?
By April, Mark Gurman therefore estimates that Apple will perhaps unveil another Apple Pencil. Rumors regarding a modelnoiremerged several months ago now, but these have still not been proven for the moment. We therefore do not know if we will be entitled to two Apple Pencils this year (one black and one white), or just one model (black color).
- The third generation Apple Pencil could land by the coming April
- Apple would also like to release two iPad Pro models with OLED panel (11 inches and 12.9 inches)
- The iPad Air would also be entitled to two new versions, including a very large 12.9 inch never seen before
