The iPad Air 4 will eventually find its place among Apple’s upcoming low-cost iPad 8 like the iPad Pro, even though rumors have it that you will have to wait until 2021 to see it in action. Luckily, if you wanted to see a little glimpse of what the slate looked like, Michael Ma, also known as @apple_idesigner on Twitter, shared three exciting finishes of the iPad Air 4 and how it looked looked like he has the chassis of the previous generation 2018 11-inch iPad Pro.
Rumored switch from iPad Air 4 to USB-C would suggest that Apple is working on a new design
The iPad Air 4 shown in the concept is available in the three finishes, as you can see in the images. Two of them are Silver and Space Gray, while the third flavor looks more of a Bronze finish than a Gold, but it is equally attractive. What has changed about the iPad Air 4 in this concept is that it no longer shares with those thick rings and the home button like the current generation iPad Air 3.
Instead, it sports slimmer edges, though unlike the 2020 iPad Pro, there is no dual camera on the back; only a single sensor as it is present in the 2018 iPad Pro. There are rumors that the iPad Air 4 will drop the Lightning port in favor of USB-C and Apple is also expected to bring Magic Keyboard support for the upcoming tablet. It almost looks like the company will be refurbishing an earlier chassis and upgrading it with upgraded internal, just as it did with the 2020 iPhone SE, which is quite an iPhone 8 on steroids.
Speaking of upgraded internals, the iPad Air 4 is also rumored to sport an A14 Bionic, the same chipset that is expected to be present in the iPhone 12 family. Other reported changes as implementations include stereo speakers, but it is not mentioned if the iPad Air 4 will have a high display for refresh like the iPad Pro lineup. It would be a godsend if this upgrade was added so we could keep our fingers crossed.
As for this concept, do you appreciate what Michael Ma has done with the upcoming iPad Air 4? Tell us down in the comments.
