Apple Reportedly Launching Three New iPad Models By Early 2027

Apple may announce three new iPad models ahead of early 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The company is reportedly preparing updated versions of its base iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro, each with significant hardware improvements. The current iPad and iPad Air were launched in March 2025, while the latest iPad Pro debuted in October of the same year.

For the entry-level model, the next iPad will reportedly receive Apple Intelligence support, faster chipsets, and Apple’s N1 wireless networking chip. It will also feature faster wireless speeds and improved power efficiency, making it compatible with Wi-Fi 7 and sub-6GHz 5G connectivity alongside the new A19 processor and 8GB of RAM.

The rumored update for the iPad Air could include an OLED display, which would bring the mid-range tablet in line with the recently refreshed iPad mini. Besides the display upgrade, the new iPad Air is expected to receive the usual processor upgrade, although the specific details of its chipset remain undisclosed. This new model may also come equipped with a vapor chamber cooling system to help dissipate heat effectively during demanding tasks.

The flagship iPad Pro is reportedly getting a processor upgrade as well, possibly moving to the M6 or even a future M7 chipset. This powerful component is expected to generate more heat, especially during AI-dependent tasks, so the upcoming iPad Pro will likely feature a vapor chamber cooling system to maintain performance efficiently.
