Everything you need to know

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.

Alienware’s new gaming monitors get Legend 2.0 design

Dell’s gaming sub-brand Alienware has announced two new high-speed monitors with refresh rates of up to 360Hz and new Legend 2.0 design features.

First up is the Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor (or AW2523HF going by its model number) which has been designed with feedback from pro gamers in mind. The Legend 2.0 design has a smaller hexagonal base to keep the desktop footprint down.

Alienware says this gives users more flexibility when it comes to keyboard and mouse placement on the desk and, for the first time, the monitor has a built-in retractable headphone stand for ease. As it’s on the left, the headset’s microphone neatly sits behind the screen.

The panel itself is an IPS Full HD display and offers a speedy variable refresh rate of 360Hz, matching the likes of the MSI Oculux NXG253R and Asus ROG Swift PG259QNR as well as older versions of the 25 Gaming Monitor.

It’s also got a 0.5ms GtG (grey to grey) response time and offers AMD FreeSync Premium support as well as Vesa AdaptiveSync certification. “Experience stutter- and tear-free gaming and crystal-clear graphics, even during action-packed sequences,” said Alienware.

All you need to know about the next-gen iPad Pro range

Last year’s iPad Pro range brought significant changes to the premium iPad duo. As well as an upgraded Mini-LED display on the 12.9in model, Apple introduced its desktop chipset – the Apple M1 – to the range, allowing the tablets to harness the impressive processing power and battery efficiency usually exclusive to desktops and laptops.

While that’s impressive enough, Apple is hard at work on the next iPad Pro range behind closed doors. We round up all there is to know about the iPad Pro (2022) range right here, including the latest release date rumours and what to expect from the upcoming tablets.

When will the iPad Pro (2022) range be released?
With the iPad Pro (2021) now around a year old, Apple is expected to release an update soon – though not as soon as some might hope.

Going back to the release of the first-gen iPad Pro 11 in 2018, here’s how the iPad Pro release schedule looks:

iPad Pro range (2018): November 2018
iPad Pro range (2020): March 2020
iPad Pro range (2021): May 2021
As you can see, it’s not quite as clear-cut as the Apple Watch or iPhone, which tend to debut in September every year, but there is a vague first-half-of-the-year schedule over the past few years.

iPadOS 16: Everything you need to know

iPadOS 16 is arriving in a couple of months and brings a whole host of new features: improved multi-tasking, new collaboration tools, and most important of all, the very first built-in weather app for iPad.

Even though it isn’t out yet, you can get excited about iPadOS 16 because Apple has unveiled the key new features, which we’ve outlined below. If you’re brave enough, you can download and try out the beta version of the update right now.

When will iPadOS 16 be released?
Apple has confirmed that iPadOS 16 will launch in “fall” (or autumn, if you’re in the UK), but this is no surprise as it releases a new version every year.

iPadOS 15 was released in September 2021, so most would assume iPadOS 16 will roll out this September alongside iOS 16, which we expect to be released at the same time as the iPhone 14.

However, a recent report from Bloomberg suggests that, for the first time, the release of iPadOS 16 could be pushed to October. The news comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman citing “people with knowledge of the matter,” who suggest the delay is down to several reasons.

Per Gurman, the big reason behind the delay is that an October release would line up better with the rumoured release of the new iPad Pro and entry-level iPad, though there are other benefits to an October release. It gives Apple a little bit longer to test out issues with Stage Manager, the new iPad multitasking interface that’s particularly buggy in current beta builds, and it’ll also free up resources in the short term to work on iOS 16 ahead of release next month.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Series: Everything you need to know

Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 30 Series offered a significant jump in performance compared to the RTX 20 Series, and rumours suggest we could be seeing a similar jump from the next-gen RTX 40 Series currently in development behind closed doors at Nvidia HQ.

The latest leaks point towards a 5nm process node running Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace GPU architecture that could offer a 2x jump in performance, and Nvidia has confirmed that it’ll officially reveal the next-gen architecture at an event in September. Here’s all there is to know about the Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Series right now.

When will the Nvidia RTX 40 Series be released?
Nvidia’s next-gen RTX 40 series of graphics cards were originally rumoured for release sometime in late 2022 – and given the two-year gap between the RTX 20 series and RTX 30 series, that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

Twitter leaker @Greymon55 claimed back in July 2021 that the graphics cards will launch “no earlier than end of 2022”. That aligns with previous Nvidia graphics card releases, which tend to appear towards the end of the year, although the leaker has also suggested that this could potentially slip into Q1 2023, which runs from January – March.
