Recently Apple unveiled a USB-C Pencil. The Cupertino-based tech giant usually announces new-generation iPads every year a month after the debut of the iPhones. A recent report hinted at the arrival of the new iPads by the end of the year. Now, in a new development, details about the next-generation iPad Air has surfaced courtesy of DigiTimes citing industry sources.
A larger iPad Air is on the cards
Apple offers the iPad Air in only a single 10.9-inch size. As per the report, the Cupertino-based tech giant is working on the next iPad Air with a 12.9-inch display. Thus it would be the biggest iPad Air model to date. This would also put it on the par with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. However, it will still stick to the LCD panel instead of the mini-LED found on the iPad Pro.
Previously a report by 9to5Mac also revealed that Apple was working on two iPad Air (6th Gen) versions. There are four separate models in development with two each in WiFi and Cellular. The differentiating factor was not clear as per the publication. However, the latest development indeed hints at two screen sizes for the next-generation Air.
The current fifth-generation iPad Air arrived last year and is nearly a year and a half old now. It has a 10.9-inch screen and is powered by an M1 processor. Apple may launch the iPad Air 6th generation in the first quarter of next year with an M2 chipset. We should expect more details about the next-generation tablet in the coming months.
