Apple is apparently preparing to release the entry-level iPad 11 early next year. According to the source, the business might release the new iPad around the same time as the iPadOS 18.3 upgrade. The new revelation contradicts prior claims that the basic iPad device might come in March 2025. Notably, in 2024, Apple improved all of its tablet devices, including the iPad Air, iPad Mini, and iPad Pro.
Apple to Reportedly Launch iPad 11 in Early 2025
According to a 9to5Mac story, the iPad 11, the company's entry-level tablet, might be released early next year. According to an unidentified informant, the launch might take place around the same time as the public release of the iPadOS 18.3 update. Notably, the first developer beta of iPadOS 18.3 was published last week.
The article did not provide much information on what to anticipate from the upcoming iPad. However, it was stated that the iPad 11 might be fitted with Apple's in-house modem capable of Wi-Fi and 5G connectivity. However, some sources indicate that it may possibly be packed with the A17 Pro chipset.
However, this story contradicts an earlier prediction by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who stated that the iPad 11 might be released in March 2025. Instead, the current study suggests a debut date in late January 2025. The new tablet is also expected to include Apple Intelligence capabilities, which the technology giant initially introduced in December.
Separately, the source stated that Apple has been developing an iPad model using the A14 chipset, the same engine that powers the current iPad 10. However, it has since been revealed that the iPad model was really a prototype to test the company's new modem, and it will not appear on the iPad 11.
Notably, the iPad Mini (2024) has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display (1,488x2,266 pixels), the A17 Pro processor, and storage options of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. It also includes a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera with f/1.8 aperture, autofocus, and Smart HDR 4 capability. It includes Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 connection, with cellular variants supporting 5G, 4G LTE, and GPS.
