While almost the entire iPad range has been updated during 2023the entry-level model has remained unchanged since 2022. However, reliable sources reveal that Apple is finally working on an iPad 11, which could arrive as early as the first months of 2025.
iPad 11 and iPadOS 18.3, a synchronized debut
As reported by the site 9to5macthe iPad 11 is expected to launch early next year to coincide with the public release of iPadOS 18.3. Currently in the beta testing phase, this new version of the software currently has support as its main innovation for robot vacuum cleaners via the Home app. But it could also hide changes dedicated to compatibility with the new entry-level iPad.
iOS and iPadOS “.3” updates usually come released at the end of January: This suggests that the iPad 11 launch could happen in that time window. Some time ago Apple expert Mark Gurman on Bloomberg had previously indicated spring 2025 as an exit period. But the latest rumors place the launch in a more defined time frame.
A revolutionary wireless modem
One of the most interesting features of the iPad 11 concerns the introduction of Apple's first wireless modem for managing Wi-Fi and 5G connections simultaneously. According to sources reported by 9to5macApple has already tested this technology on an equipped iPad prototype with the A14 chip, the same one currently present on the iPad 10.
However, the final version of the device is expected to boast a faster chip. Probably the A17 Proalready used on the iPad mini, which would thus guarantee better performance and compatibility with Apple Intelligence features.
2025 promises to be full of announcements for Apple, with rumors also suggesting the launch of a new iPhone SE and a Updated iPad Air. It is not excluded that these devices are presented together with the iPad 11during a special event or through a series of promotional videos.
