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

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.

While we are still jittery from the iPhone fever, a fundamental analyst is already reporting about more Apple products with an expected 2025 launch: the M4 MacBook Air and the base model iPad. The report comes from the expert display analyst Ross Young through a new subscriber-only post on X/Twitter.

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

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.
