Blessed are the apple fans! Although the iPad was not updated in the latest iPhone 15 series, according to the latest news from foreign media, Apple plans to update the iPad product line again before the end of this year, which undoubtedly gives everyone an exciting news. With the Double 11 shopping season and the start of school season upon us, Apple is in the right time to act.
According to SuperChargedNews, Apple will launch three updated iPads later in October. In addition to the highest-end iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad mini, even the most popular iPad digital series will usher in a new upgrade.
The appearance of the iPad in this update has not changed much, mainly focusing on performance improvements. It can be said that Apple has entered a mode of "eating the old and old". In addition to looking forward to the highest-end iPad Pro, we should pay more attention to the improvement of configuration specifications.
The first is the iPad Air 6, which will carry Apple's M2 chip. Although there are no changes in the appearance, this upgrade is still very good for the iPad Air. Compared with the previous generation of M1, the M2 chip has improved CPU performance by 18%, GPU performance by 35%, and NPU performance by 44%. In terms of storage, the iPad Air 6 still comes with 8GB of RAM. But what is interesting is that the standard storage space of the previous generation iPad Air 5 is only 64GB, which is somewhat insufficient to use. So we're looking forward to whether the next iPad Air will be upgraded to 128GB of storage capacity to meet the needs of more users.
Next is the iPad mini 7, which will be equipped with the A17 Pro chip, or the A16 chip with a small probability, and the memory will be increased to 6GB. As we all know, the iPad mini series has never compromised on performance. Despite its smaller screen size, it may even lose its qualification as a console if it is not powerful. It is worth noting that the screen of the new iPad mini 7 is still a 60Hz refresh rate and does not support the high brush function, which disappoints some users. However, the next generation of iPad mini has improved on the jelly screen phenomenon, improved the screen packaging method, and brought a better display effect.
Finally, there's the entry-level iPad 11, codenamed J126b. Since it is the lowest-end product, the media exposure to it is very limited. Personally, I think that the iPad 11 with the A14 chip has been excess in performance. Definitely enough for general Internet access, client use, and light painting. The most important improvements for the entry-level iPad are the non-fully bonded screen and the adaptation of the second-generation Apple Pencil. The previous generation of iPad 10 changed the interface, using a C port, but only supported the lightning interface of the first generation Apple Pencil, which confused users. If you want to charge the pen, you also need to buy an additional adapter. Isn't this forcing everyone to buy copycat pens? We expect the new iPad 11 to natively support the C port and better adapt to the full screen design of the iPad 10, the only regret may be that it still does not support the pressure sensitive function.
As the demand for mobile work and remote learning wanes, tablet sales continue to decline. Apple released these three new iPads, will the price be reduced to attract users? What is your opinion on this? What is the reasonable price in your mind? Welcome to leave a message to discuss! This updated iPad is coming soon, are fruit fans ready for the new product?
