Anticipated iPad Release: Speculated Features and Specs for Later This Year
# Upcoming iPads: What to Anticipate in 2026
As summer approaches, filled with software announcements, there are rumors that Apple will introduce more than 15 new hardware items later this year, including several iPads. Here’s what we have learned about the upcoming iPads set to make their debut.
## 1. iPad Mini with OLED Screen
The iPad Mini, although not the most favored variant, has its loyal followers. Reports indicate that a revised model of the iPad Mini will be launched later this year, boasting a major enhancement: an OLED screen. Sources, among them Bloomberg, suggest that this modification aims to resolve the complaints regarding the current model’s LCD, which has faced criticism for problems such as “jelly scrolling.”
The shift to an OLED screen is expected to elevate the visual experience, particularly if it reflects the quality found in the iPad Pro’s OLED displays. Furthermore, the new iPad Mini is likely to be equipped with a more powerful chip, possibly the A19, and may come with upgraded water resistance features.
## 2. Entry-Level iPad with New AI Chip
Alongside the new iPad Mini, Apple is projected to introduce an enhanced entry-level iPad. Although there were speculations about a March release, only the iPad Air was presented at that time. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg remains optimistic about the arrival of the new entry-level iPad this year, though the precise date is still unknown.
This upcoming model is rumored to include an A18 chip, which will introduce Apple Intelligence functionalities to the basic iPad for the first time. While existing users might not see immediate applications for these AI features, the forthcoming iOS and iPadOS 27 updates are expected to emphasize AI advancements, potentially transforming user experiences significantly.
Aside from the new chipset, most characteristics of the entry-level iPad are thought to align with previous iterations. Importantly, the iPad Pro series, particularly the current M5 model, is not predicted to receive upgrades until 2027.
As excitement grows for these new iPads, users are curious about which features will capture their interest the most. Whether it’s the OLED screen on the iPad Mini or the AI functionalities in the entry-level model, Apple appears ready to provide substantial innovations in its tablet range.
