Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has quashed the swirling rumours of an imminent iPad announcement on March 26, 2024.
Despite the anticipation and speculation from various sources pointing towards an end-of-March reveal for Apple’s updated iPad lineup, Gurman’s concise response on Twitter/X, “Not true,” has put a pause on expectations for any such announcement on the speculated date.
Previously, Gurman himself hinted at a potential refresh in the iPad lineup towards the end of March or early April.
This prediction fueled expectations and speculations across the tech community.
However, as other reports narrowed down March 26 as the announcement date, Gurman’s rebuttal has brought a moment of reconsideration regarding the timing of Apple’s next big reveal.
Despite the setback in timing expectations, the anticipation around the new iPad models remains high.
Speculations have been rife about the introduction of new iPad Pro and iPad Air models, with significant upgrades in the pipeline.
Rumours suggest the possibility of a first-time 12.9-inch iPad Air model and an OLED screen introduction for the iPad Pro.
Additionally, potential redesigns for the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil have been part of the buzz surrounding the upcoming refresh.
The last update to the iPad Pro series in October 2022 brought forward 11-inch and 12.9-inch models, with speculation suggesting the 2024 refresh could see a slight increase in screen sizes to 11.1 inches and 13 inches, respectively.
Further, the introduction of the M3 chip and an increase in maximum storage capacity to 4TB are among the eagerly awaited enhancements.
The introduction of OLED screens to one or both models could mark a significant leap in display technology for the iPad lineup.
The iPad Air, which also saw its last update in October 2022, might see an expansion with two new models, maintaining the 10.9-inch size and potentially adding a larger 12.9-inch variant to the lineup.
Mark Gurman recently addressed the rumours surrounding a supposed Apple iPad announcement on March 26, 2024, by simply stating “Not true” on Twitter/X. This response has dismissed speculations about the exact date of the upcoming iPad lineup refresh.
The upcoming iPad refresh is anticipated to introduce significant updates, including the possibility of OLED screens for the iPad Pro models, a new 12.9-inch iPad Air model, and enhancements like the M3 chip for improved performance.
There are also rumours of potential redesigns for accessories such as the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil.
While the exact date remains unconfirmed due to recent developments, there’s speculation that Apple may announce the new iPad models sometime after March 26, potentially aligning with Gurman’s earlier predictions of a late March or early April timeline.
Apple typically updates its iPad lineup annually, though there wasn’t a new iPad release in 2023, leading to increased speculation and anticipation for the next refresh. The last updates for the iPad Pro and iPad Air were in October 2022.
Rumours suggest the next iPad Pro models might feature slightly larger displays, moving to 11.1 inches and 13 inches, alongside the introduction of the M3 chip and an increase in maximum storage capacity to 4TB. For the iPad Air, there’s speculation about introducing two new models, including a larger 12.9-inch version for the first time.
