Apple announced the updated MacBook Air featuring the M3 chip earlier this month, yet this is not the only plan the tech giant has in store.
Bloomberg reports that following the release of the MacBook Air, Apple’s next endeavour will be to introduce revamped iPad Pros and new iPad Air models, including a 12.9-inch variant. Additionally, a new Magic Keyboard and an upgraded Apple Pencil are expected.
For the first time, the new iPad Air will be available in two sizes, while the Pro model will be upgraded to OLED screens, according to Bloomberg.
The iPad Air, Apple’s mid-range tablet, is currently equipped with a 10.9-inch display. In the upcoming release, Apple plans to introduce a larger version, approximately 12.9 inches, which aligns with the current largest iPad Pro size.
OLED displays will offer a broader spectrum of colours, bringing the iPad Pro’s screen technology on par with that of the iPhone, which has featured OLED since 2017. Additionally, the premium tablet will be powered by the M3 chip.
Enhancements to the new Magic Keyboards will render the iPad Pro more akin to a laptop and will incorporate a more robust frame made of aluminium. The new Pencil marks the third generation of the product, while the company introduced a new low-end model in November.
This new hardware is anticipated to launch around the end of March or in April, coinciding with the readiness of the accompanying iPadOS 17.4 software.
