For those who’re hoping Apple goes to announce new iPads someday quickly, you may wish to reset these expectations. Based on Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, “new iPad fashions are unlikely earlier than the yr’s finish,” he said in a tweet on Tuesday.
We weren’t anticipating to see them at Tuesday’s Wonderlust occasion; rumors have pointed to that present being about new iPhones, Apple Watches, and possibly AirPods. Nonetheless, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman stated final week on the MacRumors present that “I do suppose we would get an iPad refresh in October” and {that a} spec-bumped iPad Air is “coming soonish.” (The iPad Air was final refreshed in early 2022.) Gurman additionally famous that the “main” new iPad Execs, which he has stated will have M3 chips and OLED screens, will likely be launched subsequent yr. (The iPad Professional was final refreshed in October 2022.)
Apple didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark.
Final week, Kuo reported that Apple’s M3-equipped MacBook lineup wouldn’t arrive this year, either. On condition that — and I’m purely speculating right here — I’m wondering if Apple will launch its new iPads and new Macs in a single fell swoop at an occasion in early 2024.
