While Apple recently unveiled the new iPad mini, according to Bloombergby Mark Gurmanthe Cupertino tech giant is already deep in the development of the entry-level 11th generation iPad. The report suggests that the entry-level iPad will release alongside the iPhone SE 4 and iPad Air in the spring.

Gurman said in the latest Power Up Newsletter that the entry-level iPad will have the same design as the 2022 version and will benefit from a speed increase.

It’s unclear if this device would support Apple Intelligence. The device would need an A17 Pro or A18 chip, replacing the current A14 chip that powers the Basic iPad.

The iPad mini had an A15 Bionic chip, but has been updated to an A17 Proso even if the latest entry-level iPad had an A14 chip, it’s also possible that it could get an A17 Pro.
