Speaking of the iPad Pros first, we might get to see improved displays, with the LED panels being replaced with OLED panels for deeper contrast and brightness. We might even get to see a thinner chassis. Rumours also suggest that Apple can move the selfie shooter to the landscape edge. The prices will see a rise too.
The new 12.9-inch iPad Air is also said to see an upgrade from its current M1 chip. We are not sure if it will get the M2 chipset or the M3 one yet. This will be comparatively cheaper compared to the iPad Pros.
