Apple is purportedly planning to roll out the entry-level iPad 11 early next year. The company is rumoured to introduce the new iPad around the same time when it releases the iPadOS 18.3 update.
However, the new report differs from previous reports, which claimed that the standard iPad model could launch in March 2025.
It is important to note that Apple upgraded all the other models of its tablet, including the iPad Air, iPad Mini, and iPad Pro, in 2024.
Apple to launch iPad 11 in early 2025
According to a 9to5Mac report, the iPad 11 could be launched early next year. The report did not share much information on what people can expect from the new iPad.
However, it mentioned that the iPad 11 could be featured with Apple's in-house modem that can handle Wi-Fi and 5G connectivity. Meanwhile, some reports said that it could also be equipped with the A17 Pro chipset.
Separately, Apple is reportedly working on an iPad model with the A14 chipset, the same processor that powers the current iPad 10.
Notably, the iPad Mini (2024) sports an 8.3-inch (1,488x2,266 pixels) Liquid Retina display, the A17 Pro chipset, and comes in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage variants.
Moreover, it features a 12MP wide-angle camera with an f/1.8 aperture, with autofocus and Smart HDR 4 support. It has Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity, while the cellular models also offer 5G, 4G LTE, and GPS support.
