The next iPad Air may have a display we’ve waited years for

Earlier this year, Apple introduced its largest iPad Air to date, featuring a 13-inch display. However, like previous models, this display has a refresh rate of only 60Hz, which is lower than the 120Hz found on the 2024 iPad Pro. Improvements in this area may be arriving with the upcoming iPad Air.

According to an anonymous source from the popular Upgrade podcast, the 2025 iPad Air could include a 90Hz refresh rate. Similar displays might also be featured in a rumored 24-inch iMac and the next-generation Studio Display.

Reading? Check. Is it good for note-taking? It’s probably the world’s best little diary. What about gaming? It can blaze past the best titles out there. All that excellence can be yours for a cool $500, at the very minimum.

Apple has had a busy year on the iPad front. Just last week, the company announced the iPad mini (2024). In the spring, it launched next-generation versions of the iPad Air (2024) and iPad Pro (2024). The entry-level iPad is the only model that hasn’t been refreshed this year — and it probably won’t be.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple won’t announce a new regular-sized iPad until 2025. As such, we’ll probably see the 11th-generation iPad arrive in the first half of the year alongside the long-rumored iPhone SE 4 and next-generation iPad Air versions.
