Apple is set to introduce a range of new tablets in the coming months, all slated to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab lineup. These offerings include the 7th generation iPad mini, 11th generation iPad, and the 6th generation iPad Air, available in various sizes. Additionally, two new iPad Pro models are on the horizon.
Starting with the iPad mini (7th generation), it will maintain its existing design while receiving updated internals, potentially featuring the Apple A16 Bionic, Apple A17 Bionic, or an M-series SoC. Despite no ProMotion display, it’s expected to retain its $499 price point, making it unique in its class.
The new iPad (11th generation) is rumored to feature an upgraded processor, likely the Apple A15 Bionic, without significant design changes, and a $449 price tag, placing it in competition with the Galaxy Tab S9 FE.
The iPad Air (6th generation) will offer two screen size options, with the specific sizes currently unknown. While it’s expected to sport a new M-series processor (Apple M2 or Apple M3), other specs remain undisclosed. Due to potential enhancements, its price may rise from the current $599, potentially competing with the Galaxy Tab S8 at $699.
The upcoming iPad Pro models (11-inch and 13-inch) are anticipated to bring major upgrades, including OLED displays and the Apple M3 processor. These tablets will receive a new design and a larger Magic Keyboard with an enhanced trackpad, likely leading to a higher price point compared to the current iPad Pro and positioning them as premium devices in competition with the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
