Apple Could Announce a New iPad Air With a Bigger Display as Company Tests Two Models, iPad mini 7 to Launch Later This Year

Is Apple releasing a new iPad this year or not? Several reports, including those from Supercharged and 9to5Mac, suggested that new iPads were coming last week. But all we got was a new Apple Pencil with a USB-C connector, and the latest rumor now pushes the next iPad launch to spring 2024.

Apple is expected to launch new iPad Pro models with an OLED display next year, potentially after Spring. The devices were originally rumored to launch this year with M3 chips, but recent reports suggest that Apple has pushed the launch of the chip to next year. One of the major additions coming with the forthcoming iPad Pro models is the new OLED display on both display sizes of the tablet. A new report claims that Apple will launch the OLED iPad Pro next year and then trickle the display technology down to the iPad Air and iPad mini lineup.

It was initially reported that Apple plans to launch new iPad and MacBook models later this year. Later on, rumors coined that the forthcoming M3 chips have been delayed until next year. Various reports highlighted that the company would not release the M3-powered iPad Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models this year. However, the iPad mini 7, iPad Air, and iPad 11 were reported to launch this year with upgraded internals. It is now anticipated that Apple does not have plans to release any iPad this year as the launch has been pushed to Spring of 2024.

Apple is not new to testing weird products that never make it out of the prototype stage.

However, a new leak has surfaced showcasing an Apple device that could very well make it to the market - a HomePod with an LCD display. Know all about it.

For months, it was rumoured that Apple was planning to refresh its iPad lineup in late 2023. However, it isn't likely to be the case anymore.

Of late, many platforms that manage a large amount of data, especially social media platforms, news websites, and large blog sites have expressed their frustrations at bots being used by companies working with AI to crawl these platforms and scrape their data to train large language models (LLM). Many companies are asking to be paid by AI firms now. Among them is Reddit, whose senior officials recently met with AI companies to strike a deal, however, they have not yet been able to reach any agreement. A report claims that if Reddit cannot reach an agreement soon, it can block bots from crawling its site, even if it means that the platform will get delisted from Google and Bing search engines.

Apple is rumored to announce new iPad mini 7 and iPad Air 6 soon, potentially alongside the 11th-gen iPad. It was previously rumored that the company would see fit to announce the new iPad 11 on Tuesday but it did not go through.
