It has been an eventful year for Apple so far. At its World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 in June, the Cupertino-based tech giant showcased the latest operating systems for its devices while also unveiling Vision Pro, the company's first-ever spatial computer, and a new 15-inch MacBook Air. Last month, we witnessed the launch of the new iPhone 15 series, along with new Apple Watches. We've seen the launch of every device so far except one - iPad.
There hasn't been an instance in the iPad's 13-year old history where a whole year has gone by without any new releases, and it won't be the case this time as well as a new report claims that Apple could unveil its latest iPads this week.
According to a report by Supercharged, Apple could expand its iPad lineup by announcing new iPads this week. The news comes after Supercharged spoke to sources familiar with Apple's media plans. Last year Apple introduced the M2-powered iPad Pro alongside the iPad 10th Gen in October. And this October could witness the launch of three new iPads - iPad Mini, iPad Air, and iPad 11th Gen.
What's more interesting is that the launch could happen as soon as tomorrow, October 17!
No official information has been revealed in terms of specs however a possible bump in processor could be on the cards. While it is known that iPads powered by Apple's upcoming M3 SoC are in the works, they aren't likely to see the light of day this year.
Instead, the new iPad Air could finally get the M2 upgrade, while the iPad Mini could feature A16 SoC, the chip which also powers the current iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, as well as last year's iPhone 14 Pro models.
Although Apple held a big event named ‘Wonderlust' where it unveiled its new iPhones on September 12, it isn't likely to be the case with the new iPads. Instead, Apple could simply announce them via a press release and announcement video on its website, YouTube channel and social media handles. Apple has also scheduled briefings with select media personnel this week, as per the report.

Apple has brought in a lot of new features to its cameras recently. The company spent quite a bit of time going over these features and highlighted that the iPhone 15 Pro models could easily be used for professional photography and video recording. If you thought that was just some marketing jargon, think again, because Apple is now walking the talk. The ‘Scary Fast' event on October 30, where Apple introduced a new iMac, MacBook Pro models, and new Apple Silicon, was shot entirely using an iPhone 15 Pro Max, or so the company claimed. Now, the iPhone maker has released another video where it showcases the behind-the-scenes of how it made it happen.
Twitter was transformed into X earlier this year, and while the change was essentially a logo, name, and domain shift, company owner Elon Musk has much grander plans for his platform. From a simple messaging platform, in his own words, Musk wants to turn X into an ‘everything app', similar to China's WeChat, where people can do a bunch of different things outside of typical social media activities on the app itself. This can include even checking your bank account balance, applying for a job, watching a live stream, shopping for clothes, and even finding a date. Even if it sounds ridiculous, Musk is pretty serious about it and mentioned it all during the company's first all-hands employee meeting.

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.

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. We've already seen several new Apple products this year, ranging from the iPhone 15, and Apple Watches to the 15-inch MacBook Air. The Cupertino-based tech giant even debuted the Vision Pro, its first-ever spatial computer, at the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2023 on June 5. However, one product has not been refreshed - the iPad.
