According to a report from 9to5Mac, a foreign tech media, Apple will expand its existing iPad lineup in 2024, including a larger iPad Air and a thinner iPad Pro. Apple had not updated its iPad product line in 2023.
iPad Air
In 2023, IT Home reported that Apple has been developing two new models of iPad Air with codenames J507 and J537. One of the models has a design similar to the current iPad Air, while the other model has a larger display.
If the rumors are true, this would be the first time Apple introduces two different sizes of iPad Air. It is said that the larger iPad Air will have a similar size to the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro, indicating that the screen size will also be similar. The smaller size iPad Air is unlikely to have any major design changes.
Dimensions of the 12.9-inch iPad Air (new): 280.6 mm x 214.9 mm x 6.0 mm
iPad Pro
The 2024 model of the iPad Pro will not have significant design changes. It will only further reduce the bezels to make the screen larger and become thinner.
The new iPad Pro is rumored to be thinner due to the use of OLED display technology, which requires fewer layers compared to LCD displays.
Here are the dimensions:
Release Date: Currently, there is no official information on the release date of the new iPad. However, accessory manufacturers are ramping up production of protective cases for the new iPad, with the earliest shipments expected next month.
Previously, Bloomberg reported that Apple plans to launch the new iPad lineup by the end of March, along with a new MacBook.
