Apple is currently working on a series of new tablets, all of which will become official in the coming months. In fact, all of them are expected to launch with a version of iPadOS 17, meaning they’ll be released before next September, when Apple will push iPadOS 18 to supported devices.
This is by no means a very clear timeline, but what is clearer are the patterns we should expect. First, a new iPad mini, with the same design as the previous one, but newer internals.

Second, not one but two new iPad Airs, one of which could be a plus-size or higher-end model compared to the “vanilla” iPad Air. Here too the design should be shared with the current iPad Air.

Next up, the entry-level iPad. The 11th generation is on the way, with the same design as the current model, but an updated chipset. The new iPad Pro with M3 chip is also finally arriving, again in two sizes as usual.
There will also be a new Magic Keyboard, which was first rumored last month and is now “confirmed” by this leak (as much as that word makes sense considering it doesn’t come directly from Apple).
Current Magic Keyboard
This keyboard will make your iPad feel more like a laptop, it seems, and its construction will be aluminum rather than plastic like the current Magic Keyboard. The trackpad will also be larger and have some new sensors, including an accelerometer. This is expected to be revealed alongside the new iPad Pro tablets, perhaps unsurprisingly.
