JAKARTA – After releasing the latest series of iPhone and MacBook, now Apple plans to announce the latest series of iPad. Quoting from 9to5Mac, Apple plans to announce this update on October 17.

Most likely, Apple will provide updated versions of the iPad Air, iPad mini, and simple models of the iPad. Not only releasing the iPad, Apple will also include design changes to the chip.

Reportedly, the iPad Air and iPad mini that Apple will launch will be updated with the latest generation of Apple Silicon chips. Apple Silicon is a chip architecture that can be found in almost all Apple devices, even the M1 and M2 chips.

The last released iPad Air still uses the M1 chip, a strong competitor to the Intel i5. However, 9to5Mac reported that the latest model of iPad Air that Apple will release uses the M2 chip.

Unlike the iPad mini, this device will use the A16 Bionic chip which is already found in several Apple devices such as the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 series. The improvement on this chip is also quite small compared to the A15 Bionic chip.

The new iPad mini is also rumored to have improvements in display. The device will use a new controller to reduce the jelly scrolling, inconsistent refresh rate issues often found on the iPad mini.

Apple last updated their iPad devices at the end of October last year. Even though the iPad announcement date this week is still uncertain, Apple will still announce a new generation of iPad this month.
