Well-known leaker Evan Blass has seemingly confirmed that Apple’s next-generation iPad Air and entry-level iPad models are on the way.
In a privateĀ social media post, Blass shared an image of what appears to be source code with references to unreleased 11-inch iPad Air, 13-inch iPad Air, and iPad 11 models. Blass did not share where he obtained the information.

Most notably, the Blass post indicates the next iPad Air models will be equipped with Apple’s M3 chip. While some observers had speculated that Apple might equip the new iPad Air with the iPad Pro’s M4 chip instead, in a move away from chips manufactured with TSMC’s expensive and lower-yield first-generation 3nm process, known as N3B.
The leak does not mention which chip will power the iPad 11, although Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman previously said the device will be equipped with theĀ A17 Pro chip and 8GB of RAM to offer Apple Intelligence support.
The leak also appears to confirm the much-rumored iPhone SE 4.
iPad 10 models have an A14 Bionic chip and 4GB of RAM.
Apple last updated the iPad Air in May 2024 with the M2 chip.
Apple will likely announce its new iPads by March or April this year.
