Description:
Apple is reportedly planning three new iPads for 2025, but not all at the 
same time.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

2025 could be a big year for iPads, as it now sounds like Apple might have 
refreshes for three models planned, namely the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and the 
base iPad. 

This is all according to Mark Gurman, who recently claimed that wed see the 
iPad 11 and a new iPad Air in the spring (meaning sometime between late March 
and late June), alongside the iPhone SE 4 , and in his latest newsletter for 
Bloomberg he said the same again. 

This time though Gurman added that the iPad 11 will apparently have roughly 
the same design as the iPad 10.9 (2022) , but that it will get a speed boost  
one that we imagine will also allow it to support Apple Intelligence . 

In any case, these two tablets will be landing before too long if Gurman is 
right, but if youre holding out for a new iPad Pro then you might be waiting 
quite a lot longer, as in the same article Gurman said he doesnt expect this 
to land until either late 2025 or early 2026. 

When it does, it will probably come running a new M5 chipset, but Gurman 
doesnt expect other major changes, since the design of the current model is 
only around six months old. The iPad Pro (2024) is still quite new (Image

So while 2025 might be a big year in terms of the number of new iPads we see, 
it doesnt sound like these new models will be massive upgrades on the current 
ones. 

As such, you can probably safely buy the iPad Pro (2024) right now, since its 
likely still quite a wait for the next one, and possibly with only a new 
chipset to show for it. It might be worth waiting for the next iPad Air, 
since that could arrive in the first half of 2025, but the iPad Air (2024) is 
still fairly new, so again, we might not see many upgrades. 

The most worthwhile of these products could be the iPad 11, since unlike the 
latest Air and Pro models, the iPad 10.9 (2022) doesnt support Apple 
Intelligence, so even if this upcoming model does just have a new chipset, it 
could open up a whole new world of features. 

As ever wed take these claims with a pinch of salt anyway, but Gurman has a 
good track record, so theres every chance these release timings will pan out.
