Apple introduced the first generation iPad in 2010. The company has since introduced at least one new model every year, sometimes as many as four in a single year. However, 2023 will be the first year that Apple has not introduced any new models.
No new iPad models are expected to be released by Apple in 2023. |
The iPad has become an important product line, helping Apple lead the tablet market. In 2022, the American technology giant launched 4 different tablet models, including the iPad Air 5, iPad Gen 10, iPad Pro 11 inch and iPad Pro 12.9 inch.
In 2023, Apple's only hardware addition to the iPad is the release of the Apple Pencil with USB Type-C.
The pause in new iPad launches marks a turning point in the product line's history. Apple may be planning to reshape the iPad lineup with a clearer direction going forward.
Apple is working closely with manufacturers to develop a foldable iPad, with small-scale production expected to begin in late 2024 or early 2025, according to supply chain sources.
Leaked information shows that Apple has been researching foldable screen products for the past 4 years as well as making many changes in design. According to MacRumors , the company will release a foldable screen iPad, before developing a foldable screen iPhone line.
