What's the best-kept secret since Darth Vader turned out to be Luke Skywalker's dad? Apple plans to seriously upgrade many of its products in early 2024. This is obviously great news, considering it will be Cupertino's first OLED tablet. Equally exciting, however, is the prospect of a new M3 MacBook Air.
Mark Gurman, Bloomberg's resident Apple guru, has been informed that new versions of the MacBook Air, iPad Pro, and iPad Air will all be available next March.
As for the MacBook Air, Gurman suggests that the new M3 model will be offered in the usual sizes of this sleek device, meaning we are looking at 13-inch and 15-inch versions of Apple's lightest laptop. Along with these rumored new announcements, as a knock-on effect that is hardly shocking, it seems that The Big A could make the 2020 M1 MacBook Air disappear.
Back to the new iPad Pro, the headline news is the OLED element. While Apple phones have been using OLED screens since the iPhone X, the company's high-end tablets are still stuck with mini-LED displays. Sure, these are great panels with hundreds of dimming zones and produce solid black levels, but they still can't compete with OLED quality, especially when viewing content in dark rooms. The iPad Pro 2024 is also rumored to feature the Apple M3 chip.
The new iPad Pro could come in two sizes: an 11-inch model and a larger 13-inch model. Garman also speculates that Apple will release a new Magic Keyboard specifically for these upgraded iPad Pros.
As for the new iPad Air, Gurman said Apple will release 11-inch and 13-inch models of Apple's ultra-portable tablet, both using the iconic technology giant's M2 silicon.
Apart from the company's portable devices, the Bloomberg reporter is told that the Mac Studio and Mac Pro will be late to the M3 party. He predicts that for both of these computers, Apple's new chips could be delayed until late 2024 at the earliest, and that date until 2025.
The main takeaways from these rumors focus on upgrades to the MacBook Air, iPad Pro, and iPad Air. the M1 iPad Air is already one of the best iPads the company has ever produced, so a more powerful M2 edition We have high hopes for the more powerful M2 edition. As for the new iPad Pro, if the OLED screen rumors are true, it will almost certainly be the best tablet on the market... By a huge margin.
