Report suggests that the launch of Apple iPad Air and Pro models may occur in late March or April.

Apple has already released new versions of the MacBook Air models equipped with the M3 processor in March, but the company has bigger things coming in the coming weeks. Apple’s new iPad Air and Pro models are expected to be released either at the end of March or early next month, according to new information published by Bloomberg this week.

The company is unlikely to hold an event for these products as well, but it is likely that Apple will release several accessories alongside the new iPads.

The company has seen demand for iPads decline, which is evident in its recent financials. However, Apple is ready to raise the bar in 2024 and ensure that the iPad has a clear identity, starting with the basic iPad all the way up to the iPad Pro versions.

iPad Air and Pro 2024 release timeline: what we can expect

The new iPad Air and Pro models may receive a design update that is long overdue. Apple wants to offer the M2 chipset for the iPad Air, which is likely to be offered in 10.9-inch and even 12.9-inch versions, the first in the Air tablet lineup.

When talking about the iPad Pro, Apple is expected to mess around with the M3 chip, the OLED screen and its design changes to complement the inevitable price development of the range. USB-C is understandably part of the product range, complementing the iPhone 15 series launched last year.

A report coming this week also says that Apple will release a new version of the Apple Pencil and an all-new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro model with a new aluminum construction and a larger trackpad.

iPadOS is the default platform for both models, but Apple is hoping that a major update to the iPads will help its sales numbers in the coming quarters. Apple has complicated things for itself with the complex iPad catalog on the market. We hope that the new update will streamline the portfolio, making it easy for consumers to choose the model that suits their needs.
