New iPad Models Spotted in Regulatory Database Ahead of Launch

[klasma]

Just Apple, please just announce the iPads so this can be over finally.

You prefer the “What to expect of the 2nd-gen OLED iPad Pros” or the “OLED rumored to come to the iPad Air as early as 2029” articles?

Just as an observation to iPads hardiness- it took several attempts across my knee to get it to complete smash.

Pics or it didn’t happen.

 

[slippery-pete]

Since it’s only two models, it might be just the Airs and not the Pros, due to OLED yield issues.

I was thinking/wondering the same.

 

[NagasakiGG]

I dont care for Hardware Updates for iPads anymore.

I want better Software, which can replace my Macbook Pro. Without that, i will never buy an iPad.

True, like you can feel a difference between an A14X, M1 or M2 iPad nowadays. I think i(Pad)OS is the limiting factor here tbh

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Sure, no problem.

Sure, its nice to see new devices released… but not so nice seeing the desperation of a minority in pain over the release date of said ipads.

So don’t look.

I think you might be misreading everyone's messages from your high horse.

Don't mistake enthusiasm and impatience for pain and upset.

How many comments do you need to chastise others for wanting a new device ?

I'm looking to buy my first iPad, have been holding out for the updated iPad Air.
Although I'll survive a May release, I hope this registration means the launch of the Airs is around the corner.

While I fully expect these to be the iPad Air or Pro models, a part of me is hoping these are iPad minis. Would there be separate numbers for the wifi and cellular models?

 

[Lounge vibes 05]

Yep - and that was after it went flying across the garden a couple of times (which didn't damage it at all )

Seriously though, it was so frustrating. It would miss letters when typing, wouldn't scroll up/down sometimes, wouldn't always pinch/zoom. Tried resetting etc, found threads online with the same issue but no proper solutions.

No proper solutions… Like maybe seeing if there was an actual physical problem with your screen?
You know, after you tossed it around the garden a couple times?

 

[xmarcuswildx]

Oof, that's kicked the "maybe the mini will be refreshed too" rumours in the nuts.

I want to die inside.

 

[Biro]

Please hurry up and get these out the door.

I miss my iPad Air after it got smashed over my knee due to several years of frustration with the unresponsive screen issue - oddly, it was one of the more satisfying moments of my life, too.

Just as an observation to iPads hardiness- it took several attempts across my knee to get it to complete smash.

Hey… I had a similar episode - for the same reason - with an 11-inch iPad Pro. After my knee didn’t work, the edge of a coffee table did. 😉 But the device still worked enough to allow me to wipe it clean of any data before trashing it.

Or maybe there will be a mini Air and a mini Pro.

just like the iPhone 16 mini Pro

 

[Dopestdude2]

Oof, that's kicked the "maybe the mini will be refreshed too" rumours in the nuts.

Maybe I missed something but has there actually been any credible rumors about the mini?

Nothing other than a new Mini is “likely” to be introduced this year. Assuming that happens, it deserves nothing less than a 3nm processor.

Last rumor is that it would get the A17 and an improved LCD display.

You do realise Applecare is available?

I hope you at least got it recycled after smashing it up.

 

[manhattanmania]

If they show up in the regulatory database already, then they will be released this month and not next month.

Agreed. This was my suspicion even prior to this news. Announce/preorders in April with customers receiving them in early May.

In 2021 for the M1 iPad Pro it was announce April 20, preorders that Friday, availability “2nd half of May”

 

[TracerAnalog]

Ive never seen such desperation for a new product…. Are you guys like this for new washing machine model releases 😀

Its just an ipad… its a tablet. Not a life saving drug or device 🤣

How dare you shame my iPad addiction!

🤣

Very curious!
It'd be good to see some redesign elements, beyond the oled display.

Oof, that's kicked the "maybe the mini will be refreshed too" rumours in the nuts.

There are no credible rumors of a spring mini refresh.

There is no endpoint on that circle.
