Introduction
Hello everyone, it seems that the new iPad Pro and iPad Air will finally be released in 2024! The last time Apple announced a new iPad Air was in March 2022, so I can't help but be excited to see what the specs of the new iPad model will be, the first in two years!
Let's start by reading the leaked information about the new iPad Pro and new iPad Air!

Release date | April? June 2024?
The 2024 new iPad Pro (7th generation) and iPad Air (6th generation) are expected to be released before the WWDC announcement event in June 2024.
Apple's launch event is likely to take place on March 27, 2024 local time, with the device likely to go on sale on April 5.
Presentation, reservation start date, and release date (estimated):
・Announcement of Apple's launch event
Japan time: Wednesday, March 13, 2024
Local time: Tuesday, March 12, 2024
This year's new iPad Pro, iPad Air, and MacBook Air were expected to be unveiled at an online Apple event in March, but contrary to expectations, Apple did not hold a press conference. Instead, it released sales information and specifications for the new MacBook Air directly at the Apple Store on March 4, 2024.
As a result, it is highly likely that Apple will not hold a "March event" and will instead announce new products through online videos and marketing campaigns. (Updated 31/3/2024)

New iPad Air: Available in two sizes
For the first time, Apple is planning a new 12.9-inch model for the new iPad Air (6th generation) expected to be released in 2024, in addition to the current 10.9-inch model. In other words, two iPad Air models are expected to appear in April of this year!
By the way, the enlarged "12.9-inch" new iPad Air will be the same size as the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro (6th generation).
New iPad Pro: Uses OLED technology (organic LED)
Meanwhile, rumors are spreading that the new iPad Pro models will have thinner bezels and larger screens.
The new iPad Pro will also have a larger screen, and will use OLED technology , which is expected to make the display more than 1mm thinner and brighter . Similarly, the 11-inch model is also expected to be almost 1mm thinner.
NIMASO Fun Facts: The biggest feature of OLED displays is that they offer brighter, more beautiful images than LCD displays.
NIMASO Glass Film ★ Keeps the beauty of your screen intact ★
High transmittance and clarity of screen. High quality tempered glass with 9H hardness and impact resistance.
AF coating technology, water and oil repellent, ultra-smooth guide frame included, easy application
NIMASO's strengths: Cumulative sales of 10 million glass films, No. 1 on Amazon for 7 consecutive years!
There don't appear to be any design changes to the new iPad Air and iPad Pro, so we can expect both models to feature the same two-edge displays with thin bezels and flat, rounded edges wrapping the screen.
In terms of thickness, the iPad Air and bezels are still slightly thicker than the iPad Pro.
Chip | Is the iPad Air also an M3?
According to rumors, the new iPad Air is expected to be equipped with an M2 chip or an M3 chip. The current iPad Air (5th generation) is equipped with an M1 chip, but since the M2 chip is a chip that has been on the market for two years, the new iPad Air (6th generation) may be equipped with an M3 chip.
However, since the manufacturing cost of the M3 chip is higher than that of the M2, there is a high possibility that the cost-saving "M2 chip" will be adopted (in the new iPad Air) in order to keep the price of the device down .
On the other hand, while there is a high possibility that the new iPad Pro will be equipped with an M3 , there are also rumors that it will use an M4 chip.
NIMASO Fun Facts: The M3 chip was released last year (2023) and uses a new GPU architecture based on the next-generation 3-nanometer architecture, the chip used in the MacBook Pro. This configuration is equipped with an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, with up to 24GB of unified memory, which can support professional apps and games, and enables higher image quality gaming. The M3 chip offers 2.5x faster GPU speed and runs at half the power compared to the M1 chip in the iPad Air. CPU-wise, the M3 is up to 30% faster than the M1's performance cores and up to 50% faster than the M1's efficiency cores.
