Unless Apple goes for a refresh rate above 120 Hz, which is exceedingly unlikely, no.

Gurman: New iPads to Launch Towards 'End of March' or April

I sold my M1 last week. I've been using my Mini 6 to take notes during my calls.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it's working. I thought the size would make it difficult.
I do miss the ProMotion display.

The suspense is killing me. I am ready for a new iPad, my first for over four years. Really wanting a 12.9" iPad Pro with OLED display and LOTS of storage, plus the Magic Keyboard.
Burn in? There’s no burn in my experience. I have a 4 year old OLED TV used all the time, brightness maxed with the service remote. My OLED Samsung tablet also has no burn in. Other newer TV has been great too. Neither do my PC monitor or laptop monitor have any burn in. And of course my iPhone has no burn in.
Why does the Mini exist any more. It’s just an iPhone Pro minus telephony.
No one is saying you need to upgrade. If your M1 is still working for you, then stick with that one. I've got a 2018 12.9 pro and I'll be upgrading. My storage needs today, are not the same as they were 5 1/2 years ago. The screen is starting to degrade and doesn't show color as accurately as it used to, the battery doesn't hold a charge like it used to, and while iPadOS doesn't take full advantage of the M processors, I'll still be getting a significant improvement over the A chip that's in my current iPad. Yes, I could replace the battery, but that would cause me to be without it for a day or two, and I use my iPad on a daily basis for work, and personal use. I can get external storage, which I do, but it takes away from the portability of the ipad. Replacing the screen would take longer than the battery, and now the price is getting to the "why not just buy a new one" range, which is what I'm going to do.
I'm wondering if Apple will offer the new iPad Pro's in the same Space Black color as the MBP Pro/Max.
Same here. I own the Air 4. I'm looking forward for Air 6. Should be good upgrade with it's M2 over A14 and double the RAM. I'm curious also for the Pro variants. May be I go with Pro this time, if the feature set and price are good.
Are there any plans at all for a new ipad mini? I know mini updates are less periodic, but it’s been three years…
In September most likely. It was September 2021 when the current mini was released. I’m hoping it gets the A18 for some possible console gaming and the blue color that the Air currently has as a color option.
I use it regularly everyday at home it’s the perfect device to web surfing, play games, look at email, or Netflix / YouTube etc..regular phones are too small.
The thing is they made the iPad so good there is no need to upgrade. I am using the pre m chip iPad Pro and it does everything I want with little to no lag, so there is zero reason to upgrade, just like my 4 years old apple watch. I guess I will get the new one when it can no longer support the latest os.
Yeah, it may be an Apple trifecta for me this year with the iPhone 16 Pro, Apple Watch Series X/10 and iPad mini 7. My wallet is already getting nervous.
Yeah for me is the same. Looking forward for both iPhone 16 Pro and Watch X/10.Yeah, it may be an Apple trifecta for me this year with the iPhone 16 Pro, Apple Watch Series X/10 and iPad mini 7. My wallet is already getting nervous.
Looking forward to this - made a mistake last time and didn't get the cellular model, so no GPS in it. OLED will be nice, and looking forward to the landscape camera.
My wife's got the 12 and is looking forward to switching back to the smaller one - both because of weight, but mostly because of the blooming issue on the screen.
And these ipads are likely to be 4 year devices. All of our apple purchase cycles are extending towards that because the devices are all well into the good enough (or better than good enough) category, and it takes multiple years of refinements to hit the 'worth it' threshold.
Apple Silicon changed the game across the board. With the new ipads, all other little refinements are about all in place. The last major one on the phone is the lightning on the 14's, but that alone isn't worth upgrading until the 17's. Ditto the M1 MBP's - M4 is the target, and even then it'd have to have TB5 and Wifi7 to really be a trigger. Ultra watch is about the most perfect device apple's built yet (as long as they stop nerfing the UX with WatchOS upgrades that is), and barring a major new health sensor (that's actually FDA approved and unencumbered by patents lol), I can't see why I'd upgrade anytime soon.

Ive got the Air 4 as well and it works like it was brand new, so gonna stick with it for a while (likely getting an M3 MBA though). One thing about the ipad air that worries me is that it wont live up to its name if the new iPad Pro become thinner with their OLED screens.
Just wildly untrue. iPad is a $40 billion a year business. Next.
