8 - Apple Will Launch New iPads in 2024 Apple didn't worry about updating the current iPad lineup in 2023. After all, why should you fix it if it hasn't broken? With that said, the company might be working on a few new iPads, and they might come sooner than you think. First, there are rumors that the iPad Air will get a refresh this year, and instead of just one model, we might get two. Rumor has it that we'll have the familiar 10.9-inch version joined by a 12.9-inch model this time around. Moreover, they'll also likely feature Apple's M2 chip, making them more powerful than the current M1 iPad Air. The iPad Pro might also see a refresh this year. Rumors say that Apple could increase the size of the larger model from 12.9 inches to 13 inches. It might not seem like much, but it'll definitely make it stand out. We'll also likely see the M3 chip on the iPad Pro models since the current generation already has Apple's M2 processor. The good news is that we might see all of these new iPads in the first quarter of 2024. The bad news is that iPad Pros might get a price increase. According to some rumors, the 11-inch and the 13-inch iPad Pros might raise their prices to $1,500 and $1,800, respectively.
