New iPads

There were previously very specific rumors that Apple would release a new iPad in May. This announcement seems to confirm those rumors.

• It has now been 2022 since a new iPad came onto the market. Since then, sales have been declining. Since worldwide sales of iPhones are also sluggish, Apple hopes for a significant boost with these new iPads. Currently, iPads account for about 6 percent of Apple’s total sales.

iPad Pro

• The new iPad Pro will be the seventh generation, after the most recent model was announced in October 2022.
• It will be the first model ever with an OLED display. The largest model would also be available in 13 inches.
• In addition, this new iPad will also have a faster chipset thanks to the updated M3 chipset. As Apple’s announcement suggests, we can also expect accessories such as Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil.

iPad Air

• The most recent model of the iPad Air, the fifth generation, dates from more than two years ago.
• With this sixth generation, an iPad Air would be launched on the market for the first time with a 12.9-inch display. Currently that is only 10.9 inches.
