Apple's next-gen entry-level iPad will support Apple Intelligence capabilities upon its launch in late 2025.
The iPhone SE is expected to gain Apple Intelligence features in March 2025, with the entry-level iPad following later in the year.
Nearly every Apple device with a screen is projected to support Apple Intelligence by 2026.
The delay in updating the entry-level iPad could be attributed to the technical requirements of implementing AI capabilities in a budget-friendly device.
