Why didn't Apple unveil a new iPad in 2023?
The company has not officially spoken about why there will not be a new iPad in 2023, but technology sector experts and analysts have offered several possibilities and explanations including:
Apple is trying to prioritize iPad operating system updates and focus better on improvements and features for iPadOS.
Another possibility is that Apple, like other technology companies, is suffering from a global chip shortage crisis, which is why the company may have chosen to postpone the launch of new iPad models until it can secure components, or until the crisis ends.
The other explanation indicates that Apple has temporarily halted the launch until it evaluates its full strategy for iPad devices, as the company offers a wide variety of iPad devices, and Apple may want to simplify the lineup and focus on updating certain models and abandoning others.
Finally, many expect this year to see a major update to the iPad. Rumors indicate that Apple intends to update the 11-inch iPad, Mini, iPad Air, and Pro models. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro may come with powerful specifications such as an OLED screen, an M3 chip, and a new keyboard accessory to closely resemble laptops. This is why 2024 will be a pivotal year for the famous Apple tablet.

I don't think Apple will change its plan
Just an unjustified delay
Because of the large and dispersed assortment, as I mentioned before in one of the articles! I mean, the iPad of generations is close to the iPad Air, that's one of them!
Hello MuhammadJassem 🙋♂️, Yes, I agree with you. There is a wide variety of devices that Apple has introduced in recent years, and some may find it difficult to choose the best among them. But this diversity allows users to choose according to their needs and preferences. 😅🍏📱
Why didn't Apple reveal a new iPad?
The bitter truth is that what will Apple offer in a new iPad
Everything has been presented, and I expect and may see that the current iPad Pro has enough capabilities to last us for years to come
I hope we see an iPad every 3 years, which is enough time
What do we want? Type C has been introduced. M1 or M3 has been introduced
The imprint of the face of truth is the iPad. There is nothing that tempts me to buy it or even wait for it. It is a device that no longer offers anything impressive.
Rather, I believe that the iPads provided by Apple are enough to last us years. Add a MacBook to it
They are all repeated with the phrase 30% faster or M1 and so on
At this time, we notice that everyone is not waiting for the iPhone only, as it is Apple's biggest cake, despite its features and its refined appearance for years.
Even the Apple Watch has become repetitive and boring
If you want to laugh and be surprised a lot, check out the Apple Watch Ultra, first and second generation.
I was surprised that Yvonne Islam did not notice that.
Greetings to you.
Hello Salman 🙋♂️, Thank you for your comment, which is rich in analysis and predictions. I think that Apple always seeks to amaze us with something new and amazing, and perhaps this wait for the launch of the new iPad holds surprises for us. Yes, the current iPad Pro may be equipped with capabilities that will suffice us for years to come, but who knows what Apple has in store for us! 😄🍏💫
After using the iPhone, I began to notice a decrease in the quality level, especially on mobile phones and iPads.
Hello Rataj 🙋♂️, the feeling of low quality could be due to the continuous development of technology and the emergence of new features in other devices. But don't worry, Apple is always working to improve its products and this year's expectations indicate that there are major updates coming to iPad devices 📱🚀. Let's follow together and see what Apple has to offer us! 😃💙
Frankly, the iPad is a wonderful and practical device. I own an iPad Air 2, and it is still convenient. I am excited for Apple to launch an iPad with an OLED screen, because I watch a lot of content on the iPad.
Hi Mufleh 😊, yes the iPad Air 2 is still a great device today! We are also looking forward to seeing an iPad with an OLED screen. The viewing experience on the iPad will definitely be amazing! 🍎📺💫
It is surprising that Apple has not yet launched an iPad version (for games), and when I say games, I mean completely dedicated to game lovers.
I know that the current iPads serve the purpose, but not as a device that was designed from the beginning with the intention of gaming!
There are things that we share as gamers, such as “binding”, “graphics card”, “the screen itself”, “processor power to handle graphics and renders”, etc..
Hello Muhammad Othman! 😊👋 I completely agree with you, there seems to be a great opportunity for Apple to develop a gaming version of the iPad. Of course, the current iPad offers great performance in playing games, but a version dedicated to gaming may add a new dimension to the gamers’ experience. But, as we know, Apple always keeps its ideas secret until launch 🍎🤫 Let's follow together and see what the coming days will bring us!
I think that launching multiple versions of the iPad has become a big problem, especially with the convergence of specifications, and the price of the Pro reaching a level close to the price of a laptop!
The focus now must be on a maximum of 3 copies of it without distracting users at a time when we already suffer from distraction!
Hi Abdul Rahman Al Yafei 😊, I agree, it can be difficult to keep track of all these different versions of the iPad. But let's remember that all these changes and updates are part of Apple's strategy to satisfy its diverse user audience. 2024 may be the perfect year for Apple to make some changes to the iPad product line, and we may see a reduction in the number of models and a focus on improving what already exists. 🍎📱🚀
I think that old iPads are sufficient in terms of performance and programs, and there is no need to download 6 types of iPads this year. It is enough for 3 types, with screen sizes: mini, 11, 12.9 inches, to be suitable for the general public.
Peace and mercy of God
I have no comment on the current topic, but I have a problem on my iPhone-15, which is when I press the search button for applications, the search button does not work, and I have to turn the phone off and on in order for the search button to work. Do you have a solution to this problem on the iPhone? Islam, thank you very much.
May the peace and mercy of God be upon you, Abdulaziz Al Harithi 🙋♂️. Looks like your iPhone 15 needs some TLC! This problem may be caused by a minor software glitch. Try updating iOS to the latest version, and if the issue persists, it may be a good idea to factory reset your device (but be sure to back up your data first). I wish you success 🍀.
I have the same problem. My device is 14+. It was solved for me. My time went to Settings, Home Screen and then show the search on the Home Screen. Close it and restart it. Sometimes it works for several months and the problem returns, so I repeat the steps
Unfortunately, and it saddens me to say this after 14 years of using Apple devices: the company began an era of decline 3 years ago, as the most important item, which is the stability of the IOS system, is no longer available. There are many problems and more updates, but to no avail. They fix one problem and create another, and in doing so they have deviated from what distinguishes them the most.
The apparent confusion in iPhone measurements indicates a lack of follow-up to consumers’ desires, and the iPad, which is one of Apple’s best products, is neglecting to update its most important models, which are the economy and mini categories.
In my opinion, the countdown to Apple's transformation into a regular company has begun if it does not get a creative president who follows the founder's principles.
Hello Walid 🙋♂️, I feel for you and understand your concerns. You're clearly a long-time Apple fan. But let's say that Apple is famous for surprises, and although the year 2023 did not witness the launch of a new iPad, the year 2024 is expected to be full of new releases! 🎉 Just take a deep breath and wait, perhaps you will find something on the horizon that will restore your confidence in Apple. 😊
