Apple is now bringing an affordable iPad for low-budget customers. Apple is concerned about declining MacBook and iPad sales. Despite the increase in iPhone sales, demand for Apple’s MacBook laptops and iPad tablets has reduced. In this context, Apple is trying to increase sales of MacBooks and iPads and planning to launch a refreshed Mac and iPad in March in March 2024. The new iPad may feature the M3 chip that debuted with the Apple MacBook. Another report has revealed that Apple is planning to launch a lower-priced iPad in 2024.
Apple is moving its production resources to Vietnam. After China, Vietnam is known as one of the production centres of electronic products. Samsung and other brands export products from Vietnam to other parts of the world. After the COVID-19 pandemic, Apple has been concerned about moving manufacturing hubs to other regions outside of China. Apple is considering allocating more production resources for the iPad in Vietnam, especially for new products.
However, Vietnam is not the only country where Apple is looking to expand its manufacturing unit. Apple recently signed an agreement with India’s Tata Group to manufacture low-cost iPhones. The exact launch timeline of the low-cost Apple iPad is still unknown. Apple may use the 10th-generation iPad’s display in the upcoming low-cost iPad. Notably, Apple sells its 10th generation iPad for $449 (approx 36,999 rupees) and a low-cost iPad may debut with the same price. Apple is expected to use the same design on the upcoming tablet.
The 10th generation iPad has a 10.9-inch LCD. The device uses the Apple A14 Bionic chipset built on a 5-nanometer process. The tab features a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 12-megapixel selfie camera. The new report also suggests that the upcoming low-cost iPad will be the 11th gen iPad. The gadget is also likely to feature an “A1x series” chipset. Any official information regarding the specifications of the upcoming low-cost iPad has not been revealed yet.
