According to Ross Young, this new iPad screen will start shipping this month in October 2024 and early next year. Mark Gurman explains that pill “may be updated” With Apple Intelligence.
This is an update to the current range whose A14 Bionic chip does not support AI. As a reminder, the new iPad Mini 7 benefits from Apple Intelligence, a model unveiled last week via a press release from the Californian company.
A delay in integrating Apple Intelligence
If the iPad doesn’t come out until 2025, it’s because the integration of Apple Intelligence would have been delayed. The Cupertino company wants AI to be present on as many of its devices as possible, but the technology requires powerful hardware. Only A17 or later chips are compatible.
Assistant is rolling out the first burst of features, but others will arrive in 2026 and 2027. However, according to employees, this solution is two years behind the competition.
Typically, the iPad uses two-year-old chips. Except that the A16 chip isn’t powerful enough for Apple Intelligence, as evidenced by its absence on the base version of the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 14 Pro.
