Gurman: New iPads and Macs Likely to Launch in Late March

I thought being fan-less was one of the prime features of being a MacBook Air. Hence the name “Air”
What's her old one, and is it using the original Apple Pencil 1 (lightning?) or Pencil 2 (magnetic)? Rumors are that as part of the new release this spring, Apple will debut a new Apple Pencil.
If you need Apple Pencil 1 compatibility, the 9th Gen or 10th Gen iPads are good.
If you need Apple Pencil 2 compatibility, I think the current M1 iPad Air is a nice value assuming your daughter doesn't need the stuff in the Pro. But per the topic of this article, this is one of the iPads likely getting a refresh this Spring... so would wait if you can, unless you can get a really good discount on one today. Would not buy one of these full-price from Apple today.
Nah. Even the entry level MBP didn't get it.
Would be weird to have midnight and space black also.
I didn’t say it was recent. 😉 Just saying that you shouldn’t expect a lot of changes. A couple minor things like processor maybe. The iPad mini is more like the iPhone SE.
That’s because due to the intel chips, the MacBook would get hotter than the fire of a thousand suns
I guess what I'm asking is whether the stories of the M3 getting really hot would make them have to add fans to a new M3 MacBook Air.
I think midnight is weird so it'd be no great loss to IMHO. Every time I see someone with a midnight MacBook I'm like "why did you shell out for Apple but make it look like a Dell?"
Next to zero. Doesn't in the M3 Macbook Pro.
But iPad has iPad OS, which makes it useless.
Let the iPad get native macOS like the MacBooks then it's a good deal.

Yes unfortunately it's clear that Apple has decided, intentionally, to:
1) Have number of external displays that the MBA can output to (1) be a differentiator between it and the Pro lineup
2) Keep iPad to iPadOS and not have it truly crossover to MacOS
This is all intentional, and unrelated to whether the hardware could support it (or be modified to support it). Whether that may change well into the future, it's always possible, but near- to medium-term, I think a virtual certainty it won't be changing.

introducing MacPad! ... but seriously, Apple has zero motivation to do that ... now they sell you the package as two devices
It just seems strange that Apple would release a revamped iPad pro with oled and then release an iPad ultra? what will the iPad ultra have that the new pro won't? slightly larger screen? i doubt they can put a m3 pro in it with no fans. Besides m3 pro is not going to have any use over m3 for iPad OS.
I think @john1970 was referring to the Mac Studio, with M3 Ultra. Not an iPad Ultra...
