New iPad in March 2025
This new model, which aims to renew the line of entry-level iPads, promises to be a great contender in the market thanks to improvements in connectivity, performance and compatibility with the latest innovations from Apple.
The iPad 11 will be positioned as the direct successor to the iPad 10, launched in October 2022which integrated the A14 Bionic chip. For this new generation, rumors indicate that Apple will include a more modern A-series chip, accompanied by at least 8GB RAMwhich would put it on par with more advanced devices in terms of multitasking capabilities and support for Apple Intelligence. The latter, one of Apple’s key bets on artificial intelligence, promises to improve the user experience thanks to faster and more precise functionalities.
In terms of connectivity, the big news will be the inclusion of the new 5G modem designed by Apple. This component will offer download speeds of up to 4Gbps, although it will not be compatible with mmWave frequencies, reserved for the company’s most premium models. However, for most users, the sub-6GHz 5G that it will integrate will be more than enough to guarantee excellent performance on most global networks.
The iPad 11 will be the first model in this line to include iPadOS 18.3 out of the box, a version that is expected to be released in late January or early February 2025. Although all the details of this update have not yet been revealed, the Early betas have revealed that Apple will continue to invest heavily in integrating tools like Image Playground, Genmoji and Siri with advanced AI-based capabilities, including the integration of Siri ChatGPT.
This is important because, since the source states that it will be released with iOS 18.3, it would have to be from February so it would probably arrive in March.
New iPhone SE 4 and iPad Air
Additionally, Apple is rumored to be developing a new Magic Keyboard specifically designed for this iPad and the iPad Air, scheduled for release in mid-2025. This accessory could be redesigned for greater ergonomics, quieter keys and a more precise trackpad, thus offering an experience closer to that of a laptop.
The iPad 11 will not arrive alone. The same source that revealed its characteristics also mentions that will share the stage with the new iPhone SE 4 and a renewed iPad Air. Although competition in the mid-range of tablets continues to be intense, especially against brands like Samsung or Lenovo, Apple seems to be clear about its objective: to offer an attractive device in terms of features and price, ideal for both students and users looking for a reliable device. for day to day.
With an estimated launch in March 2025, Apple seeks to consolidate its presence in the entry-level tablet segment, offering a product that, without being the most advanced, promises to be the most balanced and versatile in its category.
