Apple is gearing up to launch its next-generation flagship smartphones in the form of the iPhone 14 series and the updated smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series 8, next month.
Now, a new report claims that the company isn’t planning to launch new iPad models at the next month’s event but will be hosting a separate event sometime in October to announce at least two new iPads.
As per the report, the Cupertino-based technology giant is planning to launch the new entry-level Apple iPad and the Apple iPad Pro powered by the M2 chipset. While the launch date remains unknown, the event is likely to take place towards the end of the month.
The refreshed entry-level iPad will be launched as a successor to the Apple iPad 10.2, which was launched in 2021. It is said to come with thinner and flat bezels and will have a camera bump at the back. The device is expected to feature a bigger display and come powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chipset with support for 5G connectivity.
On the other hand, the new Apple iPad Pro will come powered by the new Apple Silicon’s M2 chipset, but not much is known about this premium tablet. The launch of this tablet will coincide with the release of the iPadOS 16, which has some features especially tailors for the M2-series powered devices.
