Reasons Why Apple May Not Release New iPad Air and iPad Mini This Week
Apple has been rumored to release new iPads this week, suggesting that the new iPad Air, iPad Mini, and regular iPad will be updated with new hardware for consumers. This time, the company is expected to use the new M2 chip for the iPad Air and A16 Bionic for the iPad Mini and iPad.
But now we’re hearing reports that suggest the company is working on these devices, but the launch isn’t imminent. Bloomberg has mentioned that Apple is unlikely to have any more releases in 2023, suggesting that even the new iPad Air and Mini will be announced in early 2024, as previously reported.
It’s likely that Apple might hold a big Mac launch event around spring next year to let buyers unleash the new M3 Mac and iPad upgrade models. Apple has not officially commented on any of these reports, but based on Bloomberg’s previous Apple updates, it’s possible that the release information for the new iPads was premature and pushed out to get the public excited about the new products.
The last iPad Air model was released in 2022 with the M1 chip, so it’s only been 12 months since we saw a new model. There are also reports that Apple could move iPads to a microLED display, but that won’t happen for another 2-3 years.
The iPad Mini is an exception to the list, as Apple last announced a Mini version long before the pandemic. So it will be interesting to see how Apple plans to market its new Mini model if it is released. Meanwhile, Apple has started the latest Apple Diwali Sale 2023 offer where you can get up to Rs 10,000 off on MacBooks, while the iPhone offer will go up to Rs 6,000 this year.
