Apple is reportedly planning to give its flagship tablet, the iPad Air, a major overhaul with its first significant redesign since 2020. The revamped iPad Air model is expected to debut in 2027, as Apple has retained the same external design since 2020, making it the longest-running design in the company's current tablet lineup. In the last seven years, Apple has focused mainly on the iPad Air's internal hardware and introduced several updated chips such as M1, M2, M3, and M4, without changing much in the device's looks.

The world's newest $5 trillion giant is expected to introduce an OLED display to iPad Air, with Samsung Display reportedly supplying single-stack LTPS OLED panels. An OLED panel is expected to offer deeper blacks, improved contrast, better colour accuracy and enhanced power efficiency compared to the existing LCD display. For those unversed, Apple introduced OLED technology to the iPad Pro in 2024.
