Expected iPad 11 Features
Apple is anticipated to release the 11th generation iPad in Spring 2025. This refresh is overdue, as the current model uses the aging A14 chipset. The iPad 11 is rumored to include several key upgrades.
Apple Intelligence
The new iPad is expected to support Apple Intelligence features, potentially powered by the A18 chip. This would enable functionalities like notification summaries, Image Playground, Genmoji, the new Siri, and ChatGPT. For more on Apple's software advancements, see iOS 18.2's Battery Intelligence.
Connectivity and Performance
The iPad 11 will likely support Wi-Fi 6E (or Wi-Fi 7) and Bluetooth 5.3. Cellular models may even include Apple's first 5G modem. This upgrade would significantly improve connectivity and performance. For insights into other connectivity advancements, see Apple Vision Pro's potential cellular connectivity.
New Magic Keyboard
A new, more traditional Magic Keyboard designed for iPads is in development, and the iPad 11 may be compatible with it. This would offer a more conventional typing experience compared to the current folio-style keyboard. For information on other Apple accessories, see potential MacBook Air upgrades.
Release Date
The iPad 11 is projected to launch alongside the new iPhone SE and iPad Air in Spring 2025.
