Apple is developing a new low-cost iPad powered by an A18 chip, according to code references accidentally disclosed by the company yesterday.

A new leak claims that Apple's next entry-level iPad will get an A18 chip, which could add support for Apple Intelligence to Apple's budget tablet.

Currently, the basic iPad is the only Apple device that does not yet support the AI suite Apple Intelligence. So far, the hardware simply isn’t sufficient to run the demanding applications. Now, leaked programming code suggests a more powerful successor.
