Display panel shipments for refreshed versions of the MacBook Air and the low-cost iPad will begin in October, display analyst Ross Young said in

Reports reveal Apple plans to introduce the new M4 MacBook Air sooner than expected. It could launch with the new iPad 11.

With OLED being a huge selling point for the M4 iPad Pro, seeing it come down to the cheapest iPad or the MacBook Air is a long way away. Only thing I’m personally hoping for is that the iPad 11 gets a less reflective panel and a new display controller to stop the jelly scrolling issue.

Weighing your options between a tablet or a laptop? The iPad Pro and the MacBook Air are two capable devices that offer different needs.

Quick Summary Predictions of an October 2024 launch for the latest low-cost iPad may be overly optimistic: display shipments for the new model haven't started yet and early 2025 now seems more likely.

While Apple is anticipated to refresh the iPad mini, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro in October, the MacBook Air and entry-level iPad will take a bit longer.

Apple has a lot left to launch in 2024, but today brings news of two products expected to arrive in early 2025: the iPad and M4 MacBook Air.
