Gurman reports that Apple has already started production of the devices, as they should all be launched at the end of March 2024. The highlight will be the iPad Pro with an OLED screen, MagSafe support and a horizontal front camera to look more like a notebook when connected to a keyboard.
The second item will be the new generation of iPad Air, which should have two variants, one of which is 12.9 inches, M2 chip, new design and Face ID.
Finally, we should also see an updated MacBook Air with Apple Silicon M3, WiFi 6E and improved support for artificial intelligence computing features.

iPad Pro with OLED screen must have Face ID and new position for the front camera
According to information contained in the iOS 17.4 code, the next iPad Pro with OLED screen should hit the market with some interesting changes to your hardware.
An example of this is the presence of the Face ID feature for user facial recognition, with the sensor will be positioned on the side of the device so that it can be used horizontally.
During Face ID setup, the iPad needs to be in landscape mode with the camera facing the top, says an excerpt from the code.
With the 10th generation iPad, Apple relocated the front camera to the side of the device so that it can be used in landscape mode instead of portrait mode. Now, it looks like Apple is bringing this change to all future iPads.
As a result, there is a chance that Apple will bring Face ID to models in the iPad Air line, but, at the moment, the company is not commenting on the matter officially.
The only certainty is that the future iPad Pro should hit the market with the Apple M3 chipset and OLED screen that has a rate of 120 Hz.

As expected, the component will have a greater impact on the use of iPads, as this type of display tends to deliver more accurate colors, intense black tones with high contrast and high brightness compared to current models that use LCD in the 11-inch version and Mini LED in the 12.9” variant.
This, in fact, should not be the only new feature present in Apple’s new tablets. After all, it is speculated that the models will be launched with a redesigned look, which should cause changes to Face ID. In this sense, the sensors for facial unlocking of items will be adapted for use with them horizontally.
Apple must also maintain technology ProMotion for the devices to deliver refresh rates of 120 Hz. Inside, the equipment is expected to use the same M3 chip as the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Furthermore, accessories such as Magic Keyboard will receive updates with the new line.
The products will suffer a price increase, according to recent speculation. Finally, check out the rumors about the production of versions with foldable screens of iPhones and iPads.
Update (01/08/2024) – HA
With the technology update and new features, Apple’s iPad Pro OLED is expected to receive a significant price increase, according to information from the Naver blog. The starting price will be US$1,500, can reach US$ 1,800 and US$ 2,000depending on the chosen size and configuration.
This information reinforces a previous forecast from The Elec, last March, which also pointed to a considerable increase in the prices of these devices.
If projections come true, the new iPad Pros will represent a notable increase over existing models. The 11-inch model would be more than 80% more expensive than the current 11-inch iPad Pro, which starts at US$799. The 13-inch model, estimated at US$1,800 in the basic configuration, would be around 60% more expensive than the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro, which starts at $1,099.
One of the reasons for the increase is the OLED panels supplied by companies like LG and Samsung. Apple plans to justify the higher prices by emphasizing improvements such as increased storage capacity and the benefits offered by OLED screens, such as greater contrast and brightness, while maintaining or reducing power consumption.
Additionally, the new iPad Pros will be able to feature MagSafe charging, such as already informed here, and an updated Magic Keyboard, including a larger trackpad for a more laptop-like experience. Apple intends to release these models, along with software updates (iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4), at the end of March.

Apple is preparing to launch a new generation of tablets for professional use, and according to rumors released on Monday (18), the iPad Pro should finally support wireless charging with MagSafethe magnetic connection technology that initially debuted on the iPhone 12 in 2020.
According to MacRumors, the information was revealed by industry sources related to the magnet maker in Apple’s supply chain. To support MagSafe charging, the iPad Pro could undergo significant design changes, which would include replacing its aluminum back panel with glass.
The tipsters point out that there is also a chance that the magnetic charging mentioned for the iPad refers to a magnetic charger similar to the MacBook accessory, rather than an iPhone-style magnetic charger. With this, it is possible to imagine a new Magic Keyboard with support for the Mac’s magnetic connector.
It should be noted that, currently, MagSafe only supports charging with a power of 15 W, which is significantly lower than recharging via USB-C on the iPhone and iPad, however, it would be an interesting option for those who want to recharge the device at the same time. in which they keep the physical port free to connect other accessories.
New tablets must be equipped with renewed 11.1 and 13-inch screens with OLED technologywhich would guarantee an important leap in image quality and contrast compared to the IPS LED technology of the iPad Pro with M2.
And speaking of processing, the new tablets must feature Apple’s new M3 processor, the first in the line manufactured with 3 nanometer lithography. This would allow performance equivalent to the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, although power adjustments will need to be made.
