Expected Launch
The upcoming iPad Air and Pro models might undergo a much-needed design update. Apple is considering equipping the iPad Air with the M2 chipset, possibly in both 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch versions, a first for the Air series. The larger model’s pricing will be interesting to watch given its expected high cost.
