Gurman said that the mid-tier iPad Air is also expected to get an overhaul with 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch display sizes. The iPad Air would likely feature a M2 processor, making it superior to the lower-end 10th generation iPad models that may get updated later in the year.

With the 11th generation iPad, Apple plans to phase out the ninth-generation of baseline iPad that is the last to feature the home button. This would also let Apple discontinue some of its older generation accessories that support the ninth-generation iPad.
The iPad mini is also expected to get a refresh with a new processor. Previously, Gurman said that the next-generation of compact iPad mini would be powered by the A16 Bionic chip.
Beyond iPads, Apple would release its highly-anticipated mixed-reality headset the Vision Pro early in 2024. According to reports, Apple has started inviting retail employees from its US stores to Cupertino, California, to receive Vision Pro training. The mixed-reality headset is expected to launch in March in the US and will be gradually introduced in other regions.
