Apple plans to discontinue this iPad model next year

Apple did not release a new iPad in 2023, affecting declining sales. The company plans to streamline its cluttered iPad lineup by discontinuing older models and introducing new ones next year. The upcoming models include an iPad Air with an M2 chip and a larger size option. The iPad Pro will receive upgrades and come in two sizes, offering an OLED screen option for the 12.9-inch model. Additionally, a new iPad mini with a faster chip is in development. The 9th generation iPad may be discontinued when the 11th generation is released later next year.
