Mark Gurman once again discussed the next products announced by Apple at the start of 2024. In his latest newsletter Power Onpublished this Sunday, January 28, the Bloomberg journalist indicates that the iPad Pro and MacBook Air with M3 chip are “already in production”.
He adds that iOS 17.4 mentions the arrival of new accessories for iPad Pros, with a new Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil, but also a new location for the camera and Face ID sensors. Mark Gurman thus refers to the discoveries of 9to5Mac in the code of the first beta of the update released at the end of last week.
The newsletter specifies the release period for the next iPad and MacBook Air. While a launch between March and April 2024 was mentioned, the journalist is now betting on an announcement at the end of March. One thing is certain, the next iPad Pro, iPad Air and MacBook Air will arrive in early spring.
