On March 26, Apple is expected to unveil the new iPad Air and iPad Air. Rumors have circulated for some time about the Cupertino-based company's plans to introduce these next-generation tablets this year. Anticipation is also building around the upcoming iPad Pro lineup and the 6th Gen iPad Air. While immediate availability may not be guaranteed, tech experts suggest that these products will be released soon.

Arrival of Upgraded iPads and Accessories

As reported by multiple sources including Instant Digital and IT Home, the new iPads are expected to be available for purchase as early as this week. These predictions coincide with Bloomberg's previous projections, indicating Apple's iPad released by the end of March or early April. There is also speculation of a potential launch alongside the forthcoming iPadOS 17.4, currently under development.

The upcoming iPad Pro is reported to feature significant upgrades, potentially including the introduction of the first OLED display on an iPad, offering vibrant colors and improved brightness. Speculation suggests it may be equipped with the M3 processor, the same powerful chip found in the latest MacBook Air.

Enhanced Features in 6th Gen iPad Air

Now, let's explore the 6th Gen iPad Air. Rumors suggest it will adopt features from the previous iPad Pro, such as a sleek micro-LED display. Furthermore, there's speculation that it will be powered by the Apple Silicon M2 chip. Just visualize having a camera on your iPad that seamlessly operates in landscape mode! Additionally, there are murmurs indicating the possibility of a larger 12.9-inch variant for those desiring an expansive screen.

However, Apple's innovations won't end with the iPads; new accessories may also make their debut. A redesigned Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro is rumored to be in the works, boasting a larger trackpad and an improved keyboard for enhanced comfort. Additionally, there's speculation surrounding the release of the Apple Pencil 3, reportedly compatible with both the new iPad Air and iPad Pro.

Yet, these enhancements could potentially come with an increased cost. With the inclusion of numerous new features, the new iPads may carry a higher price point compared to previous models. Get ready—Apple may be preparing to launch its most expensive iPad to date. So, be sure to mark your calendars! Exciting times lie ahead for iPad enthusiasts, as fresh models and accessories are anticipated to make their debut very soon.

Apple has stuck to its four-model iPhone lineup for quite some time, but that might change soon now. According to rumors, Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 17 Air in 2025, replacing the Plus variant. Following this shift, the company is also planning for the next year. In a recent report, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman confirmed that Apple is gearing up to launch a foldable iPhone in 2026. He also revealed that Apple's foldable device will adopt a book-style design rather than a clamshell-style fold.

Foldable iPhone to Take Inspiration from iPhone Air 

According to Gurman, Apple’s foldable iPhone will adopt a book-style design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, rather than a flip-style format. He also notes that the upcoming foldable device will include many of the advanced technologies featured in the highly anticipated ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air.

The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet, showcasing a sleek 5.5 mm profile. While this ultra-slim design may come with certain trade-offs, especially in speaker and camera capabilities, it will still deliver the core iPhone experience, including improved battery life compared to the iPhone 16e. 

What to Expect from Apple’s Foldable iPhone 

According to leaks and reports, Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch main display when fully unfolded, with a 5.5-inch external screen. Analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu, with leaker Digital Chat Station, suggest that Apple has finalized key hardware decisions, opting for a book-style design.

To improve durability, Apple is apparently including liquid metal in the hinges, a material previously used in smaller components like SIM ejector tools. Known for its strength and flexibility, liquid metal could help reduce screen creasing and extend the device’s lifespan, addressing common durability concerns with foldable phones.

The foldable iPhone is set to be remarkably slim, measuring just 4.5mm when unfolded and between 9mm and 9.5mm when folded, making it one of the thinnest foldable devices on the market. To achieve this sleek form factor, Apple may replace Face ID with a Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button, optimizing internal space. 

Another major focus will be the battery life with Apple reportedly opting for a high-density battery, though exact specifications remain unknown.

Expected Price 

Exact details about Apple’s foldable iPhone are not available, but according to Gurman, the device is expected to be priced at approximately  $2,000 (around Rs 1,71,885). He also suggests that initial production may be slow, resulting in limited availability. If everything proceeds as planned, the foldable iPhone could debut alongside the iPhone 18 series.
