San Francisco, October 16: Apple is likely to announce updated versions of its iPad lineup this week with top-of-the-line silicon chips and other internal upgrades. The iPad Air, iPad mini and the base model iPad are expected to be refreshed and the company is expected to update specifications rather than significant design changes, reports 9to5Mac.

“Updates for iPad Air and iPad mini are indeed due, so the timing makes sense. This October refresh will update the tablets with newer-generation Apple Silicon chips,” the report mentioned. The iPad Air and the iPad mini will be bumped to M2 and A16 Bionic chips, respectively, according to the report. Big Billion Days Sale 2023: Flipkart’s Festive Sales Saw a Record Over 1.4 Billion Customer Visits.
