Apple to Launch New Low-End iPad in Spring 2025 [Gurman]

Apple is planning to release a new low-end eleventh generation iPad in spring, according to a new report from Mark Gurman.

In a recent newsletter to subscribers, Gurman predicts the new iPad 11 will arrive around the same time as the iPhone SE 4 and the next iPad Air.

Earlier this year, Apple also cut the price of its lowest-end iPad to $349. Now, I'm told that the company is deep in development of an 11th generation of that model. It will have roughly the same design as the current version from 2022, while getting a speed boost. This model is scheduled to be released around the same time as the new iPhone SE and iPad Air in the spring.

There were initially some rumors that the iPad 11 could arrive this fall; however, Apple has already released the new iPad mini (A17 Pro), and this week's announcements are expected to focus on M4 Macs.

Gurman also predicts that, given the recent M4 iPad Pro updates, we likely won't see another iPad Pro refresh until late next year at the earliest.

As for when to expect the next iPad Pro, the company has historically updated that device every 18 months or so. Given that the M5 chip is expected to arrive around the end of next year, it seems likely that the next iPad Pro won't debut until late 2025 or the first half of 2026. I would count out there being other major changes, since the current design is only six months old.

The iPad 10 is currently on sale for just $299, grab the deal here:
