👂 Apple is preparing several iPad updates over the next year:
• iPad mini (J510) – the biggest overhaul of the mini line in half a decade, finally getting an OLED display for the first time. Expected to be announced this fall, with sales starting no later than October.
• Base iPad (J581) – due as early as Q1 next calendar year. The main change will be a faster processor rather than a design overhaul.
• iPad Air (J807 / J837) – will stick with 11" and 13" screen sizes, expected to launch this spring.
iPad Pro – new models are also in the works, expected around the same timeframe as the Air.
• Apple Pencil (USB-C) and Pencil Pro are also getting refreshed, reportedly with a new battery design that's easier to replace yourself — likely to comply with new EU rules taking effect in February 2027, which require portable batteries in devices to be user-removable and replaceable throughout the product's lifespan.
