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

Were now just a day away from the launch of the iPhone 15 line at Apples 
September event (on September 12), and while were not expecting to see any 
iPads there, we might not be waiting too long until one does show up, with 
the iPad Air 6 apparently set to land in October. 

This is according to MacRumors , which cites a post on Chinese site Weibo 
from an account with a proven track record for disclosing accurate 
information about Apple's plans. That said, they dont link to the post or 
mention the username, so well have to take their word for that. 

Additionally, this Weibo user apparently says that "only the iPad Air series 
should be updated this year," then clarifies that there will be "no mini and 
Pro this year." So if you were hoping for a new iPad Pro, youll probably have 
to wait until 2024, but thats in line with recent leaks. 

An October launch for the iPad Air 6 also makes sense, as that would be 
around 18 months after the iPad Air (2022) landed, and that itself launched 
roughly 18 months after the iPad Air 4 (2020) . More support for October 

Plus, in the latest edition of The MacRumors Show podcast, Mark Gurman  who 
has a great track record for Apple leaks  claimed that the iPad Air 6 was 
"coming soonish," with October being likely. 

So all signs currently point to October for the iPad Air 6, and our only 
hesitation about that month is that we havent heard much about this slate, 
and wed think we would have done, if it was landing so soon. Still, with no 
conflicting reports, October is our best guess for now. 

If it does land in October, then dont expect a major event for it. Instead, 
Apple will likely just put out a press release. Gurman predicts as much and 
that would make sense, since two big events in two months seems excessive, 
and while its possible that other devices will be announced alongside it, we 
wouldnt expect anything as exciting as the iPhone 15 line, so a press release 
should probably have it covered. 

As for what the iPad Air 6 might offer, well, we dont really know, though one 
early leak suggested it will be powered by an M2 chipset, much like the iPad 
Pro 12.9 (2022) is. So it could be very powerful, and will likely be a 
contender for our best iPads list. You might also like iPad Air (2022) review
