Upcoming iPads Slated for March Release, Suggests Insider Report. In a recent turn of events, tech enthusiasts will have to exhibit a tad more patience as Apple’s highly anticipated iPad lineup is set to launch in March. This revelation comes from none other than Bloomberg’s tech journalist, Mark Gurman, in his latest “Power On” digest.

Gurman sheds light on an interesting sequencing by Apple. The company released the innovative Apple Pencil, which boasts a USB-C charging capability, even before the upcoming iPad refresh slated for March.
As per Gurman’s insights, Apple’s drawing board has been buzzing with activity around the 11th iteration of the standard iPad, the 7th generation of the petite iPad mini, and the 6th edition of the elegant iPad Air. While the grapevine might be abuzz with whispers of a new iPad Pro, Gurman emphasizes that the March lineup is more inclined towards the aforementioned trio.
One notable tidbit Gurman touches upon is Apple’s strategic move to phase out the inaugural Apple Pencil and the 9th-gen iPad powered by the A13 chipset. If this transpires, it’ll mark the end of iPads equipped with Lightning connectors in Apple’s retail repertoire.
Despite recent speculations hinting at a potential late October debut of the 6th gen iPad Air, Gurman’s deductions converge on a March launch.
To jog the memory, Apple’s previous iPad Air iteration, which graced the tech world in March 2022, was a technological marvel, sporting the powerful M1 chipset, dual 12MP cameras (wide and ultra-wide) upfront, the revolutionary Center Stage feature, USB-C compatibility, 5G capabilities for its “cellular” variants, and a vivid palette of color choices. Building on this, the tech community is rife with anticipation that the impending iPad refresh might house advancements like the M2 chipset, a Thunderbolt port reminiscent of the iPad Pro, compatibility with the new Apple Pencil, and perhaps an even more diverse color spectrum.
Given Apple’s history of pushing the envelope with every product release, it’s not just about the new tech specifications but also the broader impact it’ll have on the consumer ecosystem and the future trajectory of tablets in the tech realm.
