Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has said quite a few times that we can expect the next batch of iPads to be launched as early as end-March or early-April. Numerous leaks suggest that the new iPads are likely to debut as early as March. In fact a new report on Mac Rumours claims that Apple might not opt for a traditional launch event for it’s next big iPad launch and announce them on its website instead. There’s more than just iPads in the mix for the likely launch in March:

Fully loaded Pros: Two new iPad Pro models are expected to debut. The all-new M3 chip is expected to be at the heart of these iPad Pros. The new Pro is also likely to feature an OLED display, a thinner enclosure and a redesigned camera bump. We could also see MagSafe charging make its debut on the Pro.

More Air: Traditionally, Apple has always launched the iPad Air in one size. That’s all set to change. We’re likely to see two sizes this year including a 12.9-inch option. The new iPad Air models are likely to be powered by the M2 chip.

A new addition to the Pencil line-up: Apple launched a more affordable version of its Apple Pencil in the last quarter of 2023. We’re likely to see at least one new Apple Pencil debut at this launch event. This one’s likely to be a Premium option.
