The technology giant from\nCupertino is believed to be finalising the development of the latest\ngeneration iPad, temporarily known as the iPad 12. The tablet is planned\nto disrupt the entry-level segment by the end of 2026. This news was\nfirst reported by veteran technology analyst Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.\nAccording to his report, the iPad 12 is designed with the primary\nmission of bringing the Apple Intelligence ecosystem and the latest\ngeneration virtual assistant Siri to more users, without needing to\nspend on Pro-class devices. The key to the presence of AI features in\nthe iPad 12 lies in its processing power. Apple realises that artificial\nintelligence processing requires significant power. Therefore, the iPad\n12 is predicted to abandon old chips and switch to the latest, more\npowerful A series. Although there was speculation about using the A19\nchip, the latest reports point to the use of the A18 chip\u2014which made its\ndebut in the iPhone 16. The most crucial upgrade is the inclusion of 8GB\nRAM as the minimum standard so that Apple Intelligence features can run\nsmoothly on-device. This step reinforces Apple\u2019s strategy to level\naccess to artificial intelligence across its entire product line. With\nthe iPad 12, even the most affordable tablet users will eventually be\nable to enjoy advanced features that were previously exclusive to\npremium models, such as: From the display side, Apple seems to still\nadhere to the principle of \u201cif it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it.\u201d The iPad\n12 is expected to retain the iconic design from the iPad 11 with a large\nLiquid Retina screen. However, there is good news regarding storage\nspace. Apple is rumoured to increase the base internal memory capacity\nto 256GB, considering the larger data needs of AI applications. The iPad\n12 is not just a routine update. It is Apple\u2019s effort to ensure that its\nmost economical line remains relevant amid the increasingly massive AI\ntechnology competition. With a competitive price and a smarter \u201cbrain,\u201d\nthe iPad 12 has the potential to become the best-selling tablet in 2026.\n(MacRumors\/Z-1)<\/p>",
