With four new models, Apple is gearing up to launch the next flagship iPhone 14 lineup in the coming weeks. Moreover, leaks and rumours suggest that along with the iPhone 14 series, Apple will bring the Watch series 8. However, a new report claims that there is something more in the bucket! Following the iPhone 14 launch, Apple may announce a new low-cost iPad and an updated version of the iPad Pro with the new M2 silicon chip and possible MagSafe charging capabilities. The news comes from a Korean blog Naver, which says that the affordable iPad and new iPad Pro may arrive during an event currently scheduled for October of this year, MacRumors quoted the sources.

The latest leak claims that the low-cost iPad is expected to get a significant redesign with flat edges as well as a larger display. Additionally, the affordable iPad is expected to feature the A14 Bionic chip, 5G connectivity, a larger display, and a USB-C port. The launch of the expected new iPad and iPad Pro is likely to coincide with the final rollout of iPadOS 16 for everyone, which is tipped to be delayed than iOS 16. The new iPadOS 16 brings new features and minor refinements for non-M1 iPads.

The previous rumours suggest that besides the M2 chip and new iPadOS 16, the iPad Pro 2022 will feature a 14.1-inch display and 16GB of RAM. The famous Apple analyst, Mark Gurman reported a few weeks ago that the production of the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8 have already started for the fall event this September 2022. Adding to it, he expects that Apple may hold two fall events this year, another for iPad and the Mac.

However, there is no final word on the arrival of these gadgets and as always, Apple has been mute on this. It is expected that Apple will first announce the arrival of iPhone 14 series in the first or second week of September and later will focus on the launch of new iPads.
