iPad (2027)

Not out yet. Here is when we think it lands, and exactly why we think so.

Reveal

The day it is shown to the world

Rough idea · Somewhere in this season

16 March 2027

in about 5 months

Almost certainly between 17 February and 15 May 2027 — that is where eight out of ten of our guesses land.

Where it will almost certainly land Still possible, but unlikelyThe higher the shape, the more likely that date.
Where we started When Apple usually launches No pattern for this model yet, so we started from the time of year Apple normally picks.
Reports behind it 1 separate story Found across 1 article. When several sites repeat the same leak, we count it once — otherwise one rumour would look like proof.
Since last time 1 day earlier Last changed on 4 Oct 2026. We recheck every day, and only write a new forecast down when this answer moves.

What changed our mind

  1. GSMArena
    Guesswork

    Says revealed sometime between March and May 2027

    “its successor has been expected to arrive about two years after that in spring 2027” Read it ↗
    Strong track record Moved our date 133 days earlier

    GSMArena usually calls things later than they happen, so we pulled this 1 days earlier before believing it.

Numbers, for the curious

The 80% range runs 17 Feb 2027 to 15 May 2027 (87 days wide), with a standard deviation of 36 days. Starting model: manufacturer_seasonal+coupled (reveal and on-sale dates were solved together, so neither can end up before the other).

What the hardware is

1 of 20 headline specs known so far. Values from a spec database describe a phone that exists; values from articles are what sources claim about one that does not yet. Each row says which it is, and where sources contradict each other we print both figures rather than choosing.

Chipset
A19 Rumoured

Still unknown: screen size, panel type, refresh rate, resolution, ram, storage, main camera, front camera, rear cameras, battery, wired charging, height, width, thickness, weight, ingress protection, operating system, 5g, nfc.

Where you will be able to buy it

Probably worldwide Based on how this product line usually launches

Going on what this line normally does, not on anything said about this phone yet.

iPad normally launches worldwide.

No report so far has named a specific country for this one. That is normal early on: the market is usually only spelled out close to launch.

How this date has moved

Every time we changed our mind, we wrote it down and never touched it again.
