Last month, Apple hosted its first major event of 2021 to unveil a variety of new products, including a redesigned iMac, the long-awaited AirTag tracker, and an upgraded iPad Pro with an M1 chip on board. There were rumors that Apple would take the opportunity to announce multiple new tablets, but the fifth-generation iPad Pro was the only one to make an appearance. It’s unclear whether or not Apple had ever planned to update the rest of its iPad lineup at the Spring Loaded event, but according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, we’re going to have to wait at least a few more months before Apple will be ready to announce any additional iPad models. On Monday, Kuo released a new report claiming that Apple would start shipping the first foldable iPhone model in 2023. In that same report,9to5Mac says that the analyst also suggested a touch panel supplier would benefit from the launch of a new iPad mini in the second half of 2021.
