Following the rollout of the iPad Pro powered by the M5 chip, Apple's subsequent product roadmap for 2026 has slowly come into focus, with significant enhancements planned across its three flagship iPad lines. In the initial six months of 2026, the iPad Air is anticipated to feature the M4 chip and might incorporate Apple's proprietary network chips and modems. Meanwhile, the entry-level iPad is projected to come with the A18 chip, enabling support for Apple's intelligent features, and is also expected to include Apple's in-house network chips and modems. Moving into the latter half of 2026, the iPad mini is slated to be outfitted with the A19 Pro chip, boast an OLED display, and provide improved water resistance.
