Apple is expected to announce new MacBook Air models equipped with M4 chips this week, while new iPad lines may appear soon after.
Currently, the supply of 10th generation iPad Air and iPad at Apple stores is gradually running out. According to Bloomberg author Mark Gurman, this is a sign that Apple is about to launch a new generation of iPads.
Notably, Apple may announce a new iPad at another time, instead of at the same time as the MacBook Air using the M4 chip. Based on leaked information, it is likely that new iPad models will be released in March or April.
The new generation iPad Air and iPad 11 are not expected to have major changes in design, but will only be upgraded in configuration. The iPad Air could use an M3 or M4 chip, while the iPad 11 is rumored to be equipped with an A16 Bionic or A17 Pro chip.
For the iPad Pro, Apple will not launch a new generation until the company announces the M5 chip. Meanwhile, iPad mini was updated a few months ago, so it is unlikely that a new version will appear in the near future.
In short, with signals from the supply chain and forecasts from experts, it can be seen that Apple is preparing for a series of new products in the near future. The MacBook Air with M4 chip is likely to be announced soon, while the iPad Air and iPad 11 may be launched a little later.
Although there have not been significant improvements in design, performance upgrades promise to bring a better experience to users. As the tablet market is gradually saturating, Apple's hardware upgrade strategy is expected to help the company maintain a competitive edge and attract new users.
