San Francisco, CA – Tech enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the release of new MacBook Air models with the M4 chip, as well as upcoming updates to the iPad lineup. Rumors suggest that Apple may reveal these new products as early as this week.
Inventory levels for the iPad Air and iPad 10 at Apple Stores are dwindling, leading experts like Mark Gurman to speculate that new iPad models could be on the horizon. While the new MacBook Air is expected to debut in the coming days, Gurman notes that the refreshed iPads may not hit the market simultaneously.
Although the exact launch date for the new iPads remains uncertain, industry experts predict a rollout sometime in March or April. Speculation points to incremental internal improvements rather than major design overhauls for the next iPad Air and iPad 11 models.
The next iPad Air is anticipated to be powered by either the M3 or M4 chip, while the iPad 11 may feature an A16 Bionic chip or the A17 Pro chip. Contrary to expectations for the MacBook Air update, the iPad Pro is not expected to receive an overhaul until Apple introduces the M5 chip.
It is worth noting that the iPad mini underwent an update just a few months ago, indicating that the focus for now lies on refreshing the larger iPad models. As anticipation builds for the latest Apple releases, consumers can expect improvements in performance and efficiency rather than dramatic external changes to the devices.
