Apple has announced plans to release three new iPads this year, including the 9.7-inch iPad, the 10.5-inch iPad and the upgraded 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

According to the information from relevant product assembly lines, all products are still under planning. The 9.7-inch iPad is expected to enter mass production in the first quarter, followed by the other two models. The 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPads are expected to use A10X processors.

Unfortunately, it is revealed that Apple will replace the 9.7-inch product line with the 10.5-inch iPad in consideration of the lack of the mini iPad. The new 9.7-inch iPad will be positioned as an entry model, mainly for the education market. However, the chipset of A10X processor is still in production. Considering that the processor is still in production, Apple is unlikely to make a single device announcement, and Apple's new iPad tablet may be delayed to release in the second half of this year.
