The wait for new iPads seems to be nearing its end. Just yesterday, two unreleased Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) devices were spotted in the Indian Standards (BIS) database.
Now, two more models have surfaced, adding fuel to the fire of rumors about an iPad launch next month, according to MySmartPrice report on April 5.
Larger iPad Air and OLED display for iPad Pro?
While specifics remain confidential, the presence of four distinct model numbers (A2836, A2837, A2898, and A2899) suggests potential updates for both the iPad Air and iPad Pro lines.

Industry speculation suggests that Apple may introduce a larger 12.9-inch version of the iPad Air for the first time, catering to users who seek a powerful tablet with a bigger display for creative work or multitasking.
Meanwhile, the iPad Pro could be in for a major display upgrade. Rumors suggest a switch to OLED technology, which offers superior contrast, deeper blacks, and potentially improved battery life compared to the current LCD panels.
This transition could solidify the iPad Pro’s position as the most compelling option for professionals who demand a better visual experience on a tablet.
Apple’s regulatory filings signal near launch
While regulatory filings alone don’t guarantee an immediate launch, their presence suggests Apple is in the final stages of development for new iPads.
The appearance of these devices in regulatory databases signifies that Apple has completed the necessary testing and compliance procedures, indicating that the products are nearing completion.
Such filings typically occur when a device is on the brink of release, serving as a regulatory requirement before market entry.
Moreover, the emergence of four distinct model numbers hints at a comprehensive refresh of the iPad lineup, further reinforcing the notion that Apple has significant plans for its tablet offerings.
Coupled with rumors of a May release, which have been circulating with increasing frequency, tech enthusiasts can likely expect official news on these next-generation tablets very soon.
As the tech community eagerly awaits further details, excitement continues to build around what promises to be a significant update to Apple’s tablet range.
