Although the iPad Pro 2024 had a 120 Hz display, the refresh rate did not reach iPad Air which was released earlier this year. A sketchy rumor suggests that this will change in 2025, with the refresh rate jumping up to 90Hz.

According to an anonymous source on Podcast upgradeApple is ready to increase the refresh rate on the next iPad Air. The 2024 iPad Air has a 60Hz refresh rate, but the source claims that the 2025 model will be upgraded to have a 90Hz refresh rate. They add that the display will still be an LCD panel, and that similar screens are in the works for the 24-inch iMac and the next-generation Studio Display.

It is important to note that there is no way to confirm this rumor. Also, we can’t rely on this leaker’s track record because they are anonymous. As such, this rumor should be taken with a healthy dose of salt.

At this point, not much is known about the iPad Air’s display. But if this rumor is true, it would put the iPad Air 2025’s screen on par with its own Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus.
