Apple might be gearing up for a surprise announcement in the upcoming week, sparking excitement with rumors of new iPad models on the horizon.

Apple's new iPad announcement expected this week

Unfortunately, these revelations won't include the highly anticipated iPad Pro family, which is slated for a 2024 debut, leaving tech enthusiasts waiting for the new M3 chipset.

Three new iPad models on the horizon

According to recent rumors, Apple is set to unveil a trio of new iPad models this week, and insiders have informed Supercharged that the tech giant is already in discussions with media outlets regarding these unveilings. With the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models not expected until 2024, the focus shifts to the remaining contenders due for an update: the new iPad Air, iPad mini 7, and the entry-level iPad.

iPad Air: The M2 upgrade

For the iPad Air, following the inclusion of the powerful M1 chip in the previous iteration, it's highly probable that its successor will receive the M2. This upgrade promises users a bump in computing and graphics performance, all without the need to dive into the 'Pro' tablet range.

iPad Mini 7: A16 Bionic potential

As for the iPad mini 7, it may be in line for the A16 Bionic chip, the same SoC featured in the recently launched iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. While it's unlikely that Apple will incorporate its cutting-edge 3nm A17 Pro chip into the smaller tablet, especially considering its target audience is budget-oriented, this upcoming release might address the 'jelly scrolling' issue that has plagued iPad mini 6 owners, leading to noticeable lag and sluggish performance.

No major design changes, official press release expected

The announcements for all three iPad models are anticipated to be delivered via an official press release. Since no significant design alterations are rumored, a dedicated event for this launch is deemed unnecessary. However, it's worth noting that the iPad Pro lineup set for next year, with a transition from mini-LED to OLED, is likely to warrant its own keynote.

Apple enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting these forthcoming releases, and while the iPad Pro family remains on the horizon, the promise of enhanced performance and features in the new iPad Air and iPad mini 7 is sure to excite consumers.
