Apple plans to release new iPad Air, iPad Pro and entry-level iPad models in the first half of 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This follows the company's recent launch of a new iPad mini with an OLED display.

The iPad Air will feature an OLED display to match the iPad mini, along with an expected M5 chip upgrade. The iPad Pro will move to an M6 chip and include a new vapor chamber system that dissipates heat for improved sustained performance, particularly during artificial intelligence tasks.

The entry-level iPad is expected to gain Apple Intelligence support with an upgrade to the A19 chip and 8GB of RAM. It will also include Apple's new N1 chip and C1X modem, enabling Wi-Fi 7 support and faster speeds with reduced battery draw.
