Oct. 16, 2023

According to sources, Apple won’t hold a dedicated event for the new iPads, instead, they will be announced via announcements on the website, YouTube, and a press release. The giant followed the same strategy for theM2 iPad Proand even the M2 Pro & M2 Max MacBook Pro models.

New iPads Expected This Week

As for now, we can expect a new iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Mini. We’ve summed up all the important changes that we might see in the new models. Here you go!

The iPad mini 6 sports an A15 chipset and the new iPad mini 7 is expected to house an A16 chipset, offering slight performance upgrades over the current model. Several sources suggest that Apple is working to address the jelly scrolling issue seen on the iPad mini 6 while scrolling in portrait orientation. If rumors are to be believed, Apple plans to rotate screen assembly to reduce the jelly scrolling effect.

However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman hassaid in his weekly newsletterthat while he reported in July that Apple will launch new iPads in October this year, he doesn’t see it happening this month anymore. On the other hand, the Japanese publication Mac Otakara hasmentionedthat Apple is on the verge of announcing the new Apple Pencil third generation with magnetic tip instead of the new iPads.

Therefore, we recommend our readers to take this with a pinch of salt and wait until the official announcement.
