Back in September 2021, Apple had announced its latest 9th generation of iPad. Now, the company is preparing to release its next gen iPads later this year. But prior to any official announcement, the CAD renders of the iPad 2022 has been spotted, revealing its design.

The CAD renders were exclusively shared by MySmartPrice. These images offers us a first look at the 10th generation of iPad and its design in its full glory. Previously, we had covered reports regarding the tablet finally switching to the USB Type C standard for charging and data transfer but these CAD renders do not confirm this feature. Looking at these images, we can also tell that the next gen model will be similar to the 9th gen iPads in terms of design, with the front camera on top and Touch ID on the bottom of the display.

Furthermore, the screen panel is also flanked by noticeable bezels on all four sides. On the rear, the renders depict a lone rear camera sensor like its predecessor. However, unlike the 9th gen iPads, the upcoming version will have a small oval shaped camera module, similar in design to the iPhone X series. This houses the single camera as well as an LED flash module. Apart from this, the one notable aspect on the back is the Cupertino based giant’s brand logo.

On the bottom of the device, we can see the speaker grilles, which are a part of the quad speaker setup, with the other two speakers being housed on the the top. We can see its charging port, but its covered in red, so it is unclear whether it is a Type C port or the Apple Lightning port. Based on what we know so far, the 10th gen iPad will be powered by the A14 chipset that was featured on the iPhone 12 series and could sport a larger 10.5 inch or 10.9 inch Retina display. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.

Just like every year, Apple is expected to hold its March event this year. However, the launch date was yet to be revealed. Now, as per Bloomberg, Apple could keep the event on March 8. Also, it is expected to be an online event like last few years.

This time around, we are expected to see new hardware as well as the public release of the iOS 15.4 software. Right now, the iOS 15.4 is in the beta stage and it brings some interesting features like the Universal Control. In case you are unaware, this update also allows iPhones to unlock even with the mask on.

If we talk about the hardware, the much-anticipated iPhone SE is expected to arrive at the March event. As per earlier reports, the iPhone SE 2022 will retain the old iPhone 8 design. But it will have upgraded internals, new cameras, and most importantly, the 5G connectivity.

The new iPhone SE is expected to come with a 4.7-inch Retina HD LCD display and the traditional home button. It will come with 3GB of RAM and the Apple A15 Bionic chipset.

Other than the iPhone, we might also see a new iPad Air at the event. The new iPad may come with the same A15 Bionic chipset and support 5G connectivity. It is reported to have a 10.9-inch screen. The Mac Mini is also expected to get a refresh at the event.
