The following iPad-related announcements are expected in the March-April window:
- Two new iPad Pro models with the M3 chip, OLED displays, a thinner enclosure, a landscape-oriented front camera, a redesigned rear camera bump and other design tweaks, and possibly MagSafe wireless charging
- Two new iPad Air models with the M2 chip and a landscape-oriented front camera, including a first-ever 12.9-inch model
