Lower-Cost iPad and iPad Mini Refreshes Draw Closer as Apple Files New Models in Indian DatabaseApple has registered two unreleased
iPad models with the Bureau of Indian Standards, according to
MySmartPrice.
The model numbers A2124 and A2133 were
already registered with the Eurasian Economic Commission in late January alongside five other <!---->iPad<!----> models, but the Indian filing suggests that a release is drawing closer.

Apple is widely expected to refresh its 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!----> and <!---->iPad<!----> mini in the coming weeks, with each tablet rumored to
receive a spec bump, including a faster processor. The 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!----> is also
expected to feature a larger 10.2-inch display. It would be the first update to the <!---->iPad<!----> mini since September 2015.
It's unclear how and when the new <!---->iPad<!----> and <!---->iPad<!----> mini will be revealed. Multiple reports indicate Apple will
host a special event on March 25 at Steve Jobs Theater, but the word is that the keynote will be focused on Apple's rumored subscription-based news and video services, possibly ruling out hardware.
Given that the <!---->iPad<!----> and <!---->iPad<!----> mini refreshes are shaping up to be rather minor, perhaps a press release will suffice. March has become a common month for updates to Apple's lower-end <!---->iPad<!----> models, so an announcement could be just weeks away.
Two new
iPad Pro models are also expected in
late 2019 or
early 2020, but few details are known about them yet.
