Apple Inc. is planning an ambitious pipeline of new products for release during the first half of 2026, including a new low-end iPhone, multiple iPads and upgraded Macs. The lineup — due by spring of next year — includes updates to Apple’s entry-level tablet and iPad Air,

The iPad Air 2025 replaces the M2 chip in last year's models with the more powerful M3 chip, previously only used in the iPad Pro, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. All colors are on sale, including the new spring-hued Blue and Purple. You get 128GB of storage for the advertised $479, but you can pay up to $979 for 1TB if you need more space.

The iPad Mini is a fantastic choice if you're looking for something that can offer strong performance in a compact build.
