Instead, there were updates for the iPad Air and new MacBooks. The affordable entry-level iPad was left out. However, new clues have emerged regarding its release \u2013 and it seems imminent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The base iPad has traditionally been known not for major innovations, but for solid technology at a comparatively low price. The upcoming model follows this same approach. No major changes are planned, but one important upgrade takes center stage: the new A18 chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-release-ipad-weiterhin-fur-erste-halfte-2026-geplant\">Release: iPad still planned for first half of 2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-03-22\/apple-s-airpods-max-2-blurs-the-lines-between-marketing-and-innovation-mn1pfx3h\" id=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2026-03-22\/apple-s-airpods-max-2-blurs-the-lines-between-marketing-and-innovation-mn1pfx3h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">report<\/a> by Mark Gurman, Apple is still planning to release the new iPad in the first half of 2026. This timeframe is based on iOS 26.4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since iOS 26.4 has already reached the release candidate stage, April is considered the most likely release month. However, delays could push the launch into May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wichtigste-neuerung-a18-chip-im-ipad\">Key new feature: A18 chip in the iPad<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new iPad gets an upgrade from the A16 to the A18 chip from the iPhone 16 series. This results in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>more performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>better future security<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall faster usage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At its core, however, it remains a classic chip upgrade without major changes to the concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-apple-intelligence-erstmals-im-gunstigen-ipad\">Apple Intelligence for the first time in the affordable iPad<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the A18 chip, the iPad now supports Apple Intelligence for the first time. This brings Apple&#039;s AI to the entry-level model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, many features will be limited at launch. Important Siri and AI features may not be available until iOS 26.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weitere-mogliche-anderungen\">Other possible changes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also under discussion are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a dedicated C1 modem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an N1 network chip<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, these points have not yet been definitively confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kritikpunkt-zubehor-bleibt-teuer\">Criticism: Accessories remain expensive<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One problem remains the price of accessories. The iPad costs around 379 euros, the Magic Keyboard Folio around 299 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This adds up to 678 euros \u2013 almost as much as a MacBook Neo for 699 euros. This makes the overall package less attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ipad-2026-mehr-leistung-aber-kaum-veranderungen\">iPad 2026: More power, but hardly any changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new iPad is a deliberately small update. The A18 chip delivers more performance and enables Apple Intelligence, while the design and concept remain the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release is still expected in spring 2026, probably in April or May. The biggest criticism remains the expensive accessories. Nevertheless, the iPad remains a solid device that reliably fulfills its purpose \u2013 just without any major surprises.
