Here's When to Expect the iPad 12 to Launch

The anticipated iPad 12, initially expected to launch this year, will now likely debut no earlier than the first quarter of 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The main upgrade for this new entry-level iPad will be a faster processor, indicating a minor performance boost rather than significant design changes. Notably, while the next iPad mini is expected to feature an OLED display, the base model will retain its LCD screen. This delay and the nature of the update suggest Apple may be focusing on other product lines in the near term.
