In recent times, there have been numerous mentions of possible release dates for new iPad Pro and iPad Air models. However, some budget-conscious Apple consumers are still eager to know when the cheaper next-generation iPad mini and the new entry-level iPad will be released.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg mentioned in the latest edition of the Power On newsletter that the new iPad mini and entry-level iPad models might be released as early as the end of 2024.
“The company is also working on new versions of the entry-level iPad and iPad mini, but these products won’t be launched until the end of this year at the earliest,” he said. “Starting from 2022, the new lower-end iPad might eventually become a cost-reduced version of the 10th generation model, while the iPad mini updates will only include processor upgrades.”
