The iPad 10.2in (2021) is a great entry-level tablet, but Apple is quietly working away on the next-gen tablet behind closed doors at Apple Park. And, if rumours are true, we could be seeing one of the most exciting and radical iPad updates in the past 10 years, with whispers detailing a potential redesign alongside other key upgrades at release later this year.
Here’s everything there is to know about the iPad (2022) right now, from release date and pricing speculation to the latest design and feature leaks. We’ll update this article as news breaks, so be sure to bookmark the page and check back frequently for the latest news.
iPad (2022) release date rumours
There aren’t any solid rumours surrounding the release date of the next-generation iPad just yet, but that’s not surprising given the current variant was only released in September 2021.
But, with that being said, we can take a good guess by taking a look at previous iPad announcements.
The latest 9th-gen iPad was unveiled on 14 September 2021, while the 8th- and 7th-gen iPads were released on 15 September 2020 and 12 September 2019 respectively. It seems that Apple prefers a yearly mid-September update for its entry-level iPad then, but we can go a step further because Apple tends to hold events on Tuesdays.
Let’s apply that formula to the next-gen iPad; the closest Tuesday to the previous reveal dates in 2022 is Tuesday 13 September 2022, with availability expected within a week or two of the announcement.
However, a report from Bloomberg suggests we could be waiting a little longer for the new iPad. In an August 2022 report citing sources with knowledge of the matter, Mark Gurman claims that iPadOS 16 has been delayed until October to match the release of an upcoming iPad. Considering only the entry-level iPad and iPad Pro are rumoured for a 2022 refresh, it’s safe to assume Gurman’s sources are referring to those models.
