In the year 2025, Apple is expected to bring significant upgrades to its devices across the entire ecosystem. As we get closer to the first phase of launches — Apple usually starts launches with a spring event in March or April — anticipation about what’s new is growing higher. For starters, at its spring launch, Apple is likely to announce a new lineup of iPad Air models, and a new report suggests that these models will feature the M3 chip.

In his latest private post on Is. This image suggests the possibility of these launches and the chipsets that will come with these devices. Although Blass did not share the source, the image hints that Apple may launch a new iPad Air lineup soon. The launch was first suggested by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who said that Apple is likely to launch the new iPad Air lineup around April 2025.

Meanwhile, the source code image leaked by Blass indicates that the upcoming iPad Air models and iPad 11 will feature an M3 chip – removing the possibility of an M4 chip, which was previously speculated. Additionally, an earlier report from Gurman said that the new iPad 11 will come with the A17 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM, which will allow these iPads to support Apple Intelligence features and its AI units.

Additionally, the iPad Air is also likely to come with a 90Hz display and may include Wi-Fi 7 support, an improved mic array, and potentially Apple’s own 5G modem, which would reduce reliance on Qualcomm’s chips. . The iPad 11 is also expected to feature better connectivity with Wi-Fi 6E/7, Bluetooth 5.3, and possibly 5G support.

Apart from more improvements and a powerful chipset, the new iPad Air lineup and iPad 11 are also speculated to come with a new Magic Keyboard. In one of his newsletters, Gurman shared that Apple is planning to launch a new Magic Keyboard for the entry-level iPad. These keyboards will be updated and will adopt some new features from the Magic Keyboard launched in 2024 for iPad Pro. It may include a thin and light design with an aluminum palm rest, a large glass trackpad, and a row of function keys with shortcuts for features like display brightness and volume.

The all-new iPad Air, iPad 11, and Magic Keyboard models are likely to arrive at Apple’s spring launch, likely in late March or early April. Along with the iPad Air refresh, the upcoming launch slot is also expected to bring the new generation iPad SE – the iPhone SE4 – with significant upgrades over its predecessor. With the A18 series chip, support for Apple Intelligence, a 48-megapixel rear camera, and Apple’s in-house modem, the new affordable iPhone is expected to deliver a better experience.
