Get ready for the future of tablet technology, as Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman spills the beans on the highly anticipated iPad 11! This next-generation device promises not just a budget-friendly price tag, but also some incredible upgrades that will bring the power of Apple Intelligence to users on a budget!

According to Gurman's latest insights in his Power On newsletter, the iPad 11 will be equipped with the cutting-edge A17 Pro chip and a generous 8GB of RAM. This leap in specs will place the new iPad 11 on par with the latest iPad mini, allowing for smoother multitasking and enhanced performance—a game-changer for those who rely on their tablets for both work and play.

Mark your calendars! The highly awaited iPad 11 is expected to launch in the spring, likely in March or April. However, don’t expect any dramatic redesigns; the new model is expected to maintain a similar aesthetic to the iPad 10.

Speaking of the iPad 10, released in October 2022 with an initial price of $449, Apple made a bold move by slashing the starting price to $349 in May 2024. Will the iPad 11 see a return to higher pricing, or will it carry on the trend of affordability? Here's hoping for the latter!

For comparison, the current iPad 10 houses an A14 Bionic chip and 4GB of RAM. But once the iPad 11 hits the market, it will open the door for Apple Intelligence features across all recent iPad models. This includes compatibility for models with an M1 chip and above, or the A17 Pro processor found in the upcoming iPad 11.

But that’s not all! Gurman also predicts that the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models will receive a significant spec upgrade to the M4 chip, launching alongside the iPad 11. Additionally, expect new and improved Magic Keyboards designed for the iPad 11 and freshly updated iPad Airs, indicating Apple’s commitment to enhancing the user experience across its product range.

As for the iPad Pro? Expect to wait a bit longer for updates, as no hardware changes are expected until late 2025 or early 2026.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we get closer to the launch of the iPad 11—this is one device you won’t want to miss!
