Further, the iPad Air could also get updated with an OLED screen. Apart from the entry-level and Air iPad, the iPad Pro could debut with a faster chipset in 2027. The upcoming top-end tablet may get a vapour-cooling chamber for better performance in AI and gaming-based tasks. The seasoned journalist believes the refreshed tablets could debut before June 2027 if Apple decides not to delay these product launches.
