The entry-level iPad is now rumored to get Apple Intelligence support this year
Apple is expected to refresh its cheapest iPad this spring, with a modest internal upgrade aimed at running Apple’s new AI features.
According to a usually reliable Japanese source, the next entry-level iPad will keep the same design as the current model from March 2024 but swap the A16 Bionic chip for an A18, first used in the iPhone 16. RAM is rumored to rise from 6GB to 8GB, which appears to be Apple’s minimum for Apple Intelligence support. Beyond the new chip and added memory, no other major changes are currently reported.
