According to a report by Bloomberg, the new iPad Air will come in two sizes, 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch, and will be powered by the M2 chip, which offers improved performance and efficiency. The new iPad Air models will also feature a redesigned camera system, Wi-Fi 6E support, Bluetooth 5.3, and 5G connectivity on the cellular variants.
The new iPad Pro models will also sport the M2 chip, but the highlight will be the OLED displays, which will provide higher brightness, contrast, and color accuracy than the current LCD panels. The OLED displays will also support ProMotion technology, which allows for a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz. The new iPad Pro models will also have MagSafe wireless charging and a revamped Magic Keyboard with a larger trackpad and an aluminum top casing.
The new MacBook Air models will also get the M2 chip, which will enable hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading for enhanced graphics performance in games and other applications. The new MacBook Air models will also support Wi-Fi 6E and will have no major design changes.
Apple is expected to announce the new iPad Air, iPad Pro, and MacBook Air models as early as March or April of 2024, according to the report. The launch will be followed by the annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, where Apple will showcase its latest software innovations.
