A report that circulated earlier this month said that iPadOS 16 would launch in October, one month after iOS 16 did. At the time, we made the assumption that this would imply Apple would introduce new iPads in October rather than at its September iPhone event.
And today, a story from Korea, which claims that the new low-cost iPad will launch with the M2 iPad Pro in October, supports that precise hypothesis. particularly near the conclusion of the month.
The new entry-level iPad, which will replace the iPad 10.2 in 2021, is expected to be slimmer than its predecessor, have "flat bezels," and have a rear camera bump. In addition, it will lack a headphone connector and include a USB-C port and a larger display. It will support 5G and be powered by the A14 Bionic chip.
Several of these details have been the subject of speculation for some time, but it now appears highly likely that Apple will wish to concentrate solely on iPhones (and probably Apple Watches) at its September presentation, with the new tablets receiving their own, independent formal debut. Having said that, remember that we're still talking about rumours, so try not to take anything too seriously.
