Apple’s next-gen iPad Pros and iPad Airs are ‘still coming’ in the next month or so،
If you were disappointed to see Apple go against tradition in 2023 by not releasing a single new iPad all year, your disappointment may have only become more bitter this time of week last. In line with a number of recent rumors, the Cupertino-based tech giant revealed improved hardware on March 4, but alas, it didn't include anything to please the company's portability-focused fans.
Exact launch date remains up in the air
Instead, Apple will likely drop this highly anticipated announcement on its editorial website, and it could happen without notice and without any fanfare. You probably don't need to keep an eye on this portal day by day yet, as this announcement is currently expected to be released “around the end of March or April.”

That's right, Apple is widely expected to roll out a revamped 12.9-inch iPad Pro and a larger-than-ever 12.9-inch iPad Air this spring, which seems a bit odd and potentially very confusing. Alongside these giants, the iPad Pro (2024) is also expected to come in an 11-inch size, while the iPad Air (2024) could also come in a 10.9-inch variant for buyers on budgets. tighter.
As you can imagine, we don't have a very complete picture of the possible differences between these four similar-sounding tablets, although we're pretty sure the two iPad Airs will be powered by an Apple M2 processor while the two new ones iPad Pro will take it to the next level with industry-leading M3 performance.
Some cosmetic distinctions could also be considered, with the iPad Air line likely retaining Touch ID fingerprint recognition technology, for example, while the iPad Pros have firmly moved to a more modern Face ID authentication stage.
