11th Generation iPad

The base iPad hasn’t seen much love lately, especially since the more powerful iPads are getting more attention.

Fortunately, that might change in 2025, as Apple is getting ready to release the 11th-generation iPad.

Rumor has it that Apple will likely focus only on upgrading the internals of the base iPad while keeping its design the same, similar to what the company did with the iPad mini in 2024. 

If this is true, we expect Apple to change the processor to an A17 Pro chip (or a souped-up A16) and bump the RAM to 8GB, which is the minimum requirement for the iPad to support Apple Intelligence.

While we don’t have a precise date for this launch, we expect to see it in the first half of 2025.
