Apple Is Reportedly Launching 3 New iPads in 2027

Apple is reportedly set to launch three new iPad models in the first half of 2027, according to a Bloomberg report by Mark Gurman. The new tablets will revamp the budget, mid-range, and premium iPad offerings. The updates will include faster processors, superior displays, and enhanced cooling technology. This comes after Apple introduced an iPad mini featuring an OLED display.

The budget iPad, rumored to be called the iPad 12, may receive a major performance boost with the A19 processor and 8GB of RAM, enabling it to support Apple Intelligence. The current entry-level iPad, which uses the A16 chip, lacks Apple's AI capabilities. The new model is also speculated to include Apple's N1 wireless networking chip, providing Wi-Fi 7 support and faster 5G connectivity.

The iPad Air could be upgraded with an OLED display, replacing its current LCD screen. This upgrade could make the tablet more appealing to those seeking a high-quality screen without purchasing the premium iPad Pro. The iPad Pro might see better cooling and a faster chip, possibly the M6, to handle demanding tasks more efficiently.

While Apple has not announced official release dates or pricing for these devices, the upgrades are expected to keep the iPad lineup competitive amidst Apple's introduction of a foldable iPhone and touchscreen MacBook Pro models.
