Entry-level iPad to be updated in early 2025
Following updates to the rest of the iPad lineup during 2024, the lowest-cost model is now expected to see a refresh in spring of 2025.
The 10th generation iPad came in multiple colors in 2022
The regular iPad was last updated in October 2022, and this 10th generation model had its price cut to $349 in May 2024. It's now the last iPad to see an update, but according to Bloomberg, the 11th generation iPad will be released in the spring.
It's claimed that the iPad will have at least approximately the same design as the 10th generation. It will, though, be faster, although it's not known what processor will be used.
The 11th generation iPad is likely to launch at roughly the same time as Apple brings out a new iPad Air and the expected iPhone SE 4.
That will mark under a year between updates for the iPad Air. It's not expected that the iPad Pro will see a similar update cycle, and instead will most likely be updated with an M5 processor in late 2025 or early 2026.
Separately, it's recently been claimed that the iPad mini will be updated to use an OLED display. However, that's not expected until at least 2026.
