Overview

  • Reporting by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, carried by multiple outlets on Monday and Tuesday, says Apple is preparing updates to the entry iPad, iPad Air and iPad Pro for the first half of 2027.
  • The entry iPad is reported to get an A19 chip and 8 GB of RAM plus new connectivity (Apple’s N1 Wi‑Fi 7 and C1X modem for cellular models) so it can run Apple Intelligence on-device.
  • The iPad Air is said to receive its first OLED display and an M5 processor to bring its screen and performance more in line with the iPad mini and higher-end models.
  • The iPad Pro update is reported to add a vapor-chamber thermal design to sustain higher M6-class performance for gaming and heavy AI or video workloads without throttling.
  • Apple’s newly shipping 8.5-inch OLED iPad mini has drawn strong early reviews for portability and iPadOS apps, a factor that may shape pricing and how Apple positions the 2027 lineup against devices like the iPhone Duo.
