The Upcoming iPad 12: What You Need to Know!
Recently, many of our customers have been waiting for one big question: When will the next-generation Apple iPad be released?
In the past, Apple used to hold grand launch events to announce new iPads. However, in recent years, such events have become rare, with new models simply appearing on the official website for sale. Because of this, many people easily miss the updates. Currently, Apple’s iPad lineup consists of three main categories: the high-end iPad Air and iPad Pro series, and the more affordable, entry-level standard iPad and iPad mini series, which are deeply loved by students and the general public.
Notably, the entry-level iPads no longer follow a strict annual update cycle. The 10.9-inch iPad 10 was released in October 2022, and the iPad 11 (A16) followed in March 2025. This unpredictable release schedule makes it difficult to forecast exact launch dates.
For our tablet case development, we have good news: the iPad 10 case is fully compatible with the iPad 11 (A16). This significantly reduces hassle for our customers, as they don't need to worry about choosing between multiple models, while also saving sellers substantial mold development costs. Since 2022, drop-proof tablet cases have been consistently best-selling across both online platforms (Amazon, Shopee, eBay, Temu) and physical retail stores.
Now, our customers are asking: With the new iPad 12 on the horizon, will the dimensions be the same as the previous generation? Have there been any changes to the speaker or button cutouts? Have you started developing cases for it? And can they be used interchangeably with iPad 11 cases?
Based on the latest information we have received so far, the iPad 12 is approaching and is expected to be released around October 2026. Best of all, the dimensions will remain exactly the same as the iPad 11!
