Apple is gearing up to launch its new iPad Air models soon, featuring an upgraded M4 chip that may replace the M2 chips in current models. The company has been hinting at a new product lineup, with stock of M2 iPad Air models dwindling in stores worldwide.
Industry analyst Mark Gurman suggests that Apple will focus on launching the M4 MacBook Air model first, possibly within the next few days, while delaying the launch of the M4 iPad Air and iPad 11. The analysis indicates that the new iPad Air models may skip the M3 chip upgrade and jump straight to the M4 chip, offering enhanced performance.
The iPad 11 is expected to feature a similar design to the current model but will likely be priced lower due to the absence of Apple Intelligence (A17 Pro chip). It’s unclear whether the device will incorporate Apple’s custom 5G C1 modem. With the new models anticipated for launch in March or April, fans can expect more details on these upgrades as they become available.
