iPad lineup as of October 2024. The most recent change is the new iPad Mini. We expect the iPad Pro and iPad Air will be updated as schedule, we will see if iPad 11 will make its debut

Prediction: New iPad Pro with M5 chip before WWDC 2025, iPad Air with M3, and the rest is status quo. iPad might, just might updated to iPad 11. Possibly the first iPad with the M1 chip.

Actual: iPad Air and iPad updated in March 2025. iPadOS 26 brings the iPad closer to macOS functionality as ever with multi-window environment, background tasks amongst others.

  • iPad Problems: good content consumer device, not good content producer
  • problem is the crippling iPadOS, which was designed as a seperate branch of iOS to unleash the power of iPad, but Apple still maintain tight controls over everything, limiting their usefulness for developers.
  • iPad might be updated
  • iPad Pro with M5 chip
