Apple is gearing up to release new iPad models in 2024, with significant updates expected for the iPad Air and iPad Pro. Here’s what sources familiar with Apple’s plans have revealed:

– Two new versions of the iPad Air, codenamed J507 and J537, are in the works. One model will maintain a similar appearance to the current iPad Air, while the other will feature a larger display, marking the first time Apple offers the iPad Air in two sizes.
– The larger variant of the iPad Air is expected to have dimensions similar to the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro, suggesting a nearly identical screen size.
– The 2024 models of the iPad Pro are anticipated to be both slightly larger and thinner than their predecessors due to the adoption of OLED displays, which have fewer layers compared to regular LCD screens.

Here’s a breakdown of the dimensions for both current and new models according to 9to5Mac:

11-inch iPad Pro (current): 247.6 mm x 178.5 mm x 5.9 mm
11-inch iPad Pro (new): 249.7 mm x 177.5 mm x 5.1 mm
12.9-inch iPad Pro (current): 280.6 mm x 214.9 mm x 6.4 mm
12.9-inch iPad Pro (new): 281.5 mm x 215.5 mm x 5.0 mm
12.9-inch iPad Air (new): 280.6 mm x 214.9 mm x 6.0 mm

Accessory manufacturers are gearing up production in anticipation of these new iPads, with shipments expected as early as next month.

Rumours surrounding the upcoming iPad Pro suggest that it will feature Apple’s M3 chip, OLED displays, expanded storage options, and new accessories designed to complement its capabilities.

As for the updated iPad Air, it is expected to receive a performance boost with an upgrade from M1 to M2 or M3 chip.

However, one lingering question remains – will prices increase for these new iPads? It seems like if you want the newest Apple tech, you’ll have to pay for it.
