Apple iPad market and product updates

Overview

Morgan Stanley has projected a 14% decline in annual Apple iPad shipments for 2026, potentially reaching 46.8 million units. This downward revision is attributed to demand being pulled forward into the first half of the year and price increases impacting entry-level models.

While the next generation of the standard iPad may be delayed until early 2027, Apple is expected to refresh high-end models, including potential OLED displays for the iPad Air and improved cooling technology for the iPad Pro. In the retail market, the iPad A16 has been seen with discounts of up to 19%, marketed as a productivity alternative to laptops when paired with accessories.
