Apple plans to update its entire iPad range throughout 2024. That means new models of the iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini and entry-level iPad are expected to be released next year.
Gurman touched on the lack of new iPads and AirPods heading into the holiday shopping season in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter:
Apple could have tried to rush out more new products, but refreshed iPads and AirPods aren’t ready yet. The company plans to update its entire iPad range in 2024. New low-end AirPods are also due next year, with a refreshed Pro model following in 2025.
2023 is expected to be the first year without a new iPad since Apple first introduced the device in 2010, so updates to all models next year seem likely.
When each iPad model was last updated:
- iPad Pro: October 2022
- iPad: October 2022
- iPad Air: March 2022
- iPad mini: September 2021
Gurman previously reported that the low- to mid-range iPads could be updated as early as March 2024, while he expects new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models with the M3 chip and OLED displays to be released in the first half of 2024. The next iPad Air and iPad mini are expected to use the M2 and A16 Bionic chips, respectively.
