Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the entry-level iPad 12 with an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence is ready and still coming this year, with no major redesign expected; Apple Intelligence already exists on other iPad models, and while Macworld has floated an A19 chip rumor, the report suggests the upcoming iPad 12 will align with the current design.
A leak has confirmed that Apple will use the A18 chip in its upcoming low-cost iPad model, indicating a new hardware update for the device.
Recent rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 lineup will see some changes, including the base model using the A18 chip instead of the A19, and all models adopting new metalens technology for smaller Face ID sensors, potentially leading to a smaller Dynamic Island across the lineup, contrary to previous reports.
The iPhone 17 base model is rumored to feature the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16 and 8GB of RAM, with minor upgrades like a larger 6.3-inch display, 120Hz refresh rate, and a 24MP front camera, indicating a modest update over its predecessor. The series is expected to be announced in September, with design and hardware changes across the lineup.
The upcoming iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to retain their current screen sizes but will feature a new power-efficient OLED material, a vertical camera arrangement for spatial video, and capacitive buttons. They will likely use the new A18 chip, with the Pro models getting an A18 Pro variant. The release is anticipated in mid-September, with potential new color options and significant software enhancements leveraging AI.
