Apple was able to launch the iPad Air 4 in March 2021, bringing a tablet with the iPhone 12s ‘A14 Bionic chip, according to MyDrivers’ foreign sources. ‘
The sources told the Chinese website that a fourth generation iPad Air will arrive early next year and will sport a design that is more in line with the aesthetics of iPad Pro 2020. That means no more bulky bezels and probably the removal of ‘ a Touch ID-enabled home button.
We have heard this information before through various leaks, but MyDrivers sites actually pricing, which gives credit to previous rumors. Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 12, Apple Watch 6, and likely a MacBook Pro, which will feature an ARM-based chip in the fall. That saving what we previously called the iPad Air 2020 for 2021 would make sense.
With it set to not only get a redesign and a more powerful chipset, the iPad Air 4 will also make the move from the Lightning Connector to a USB-C port, like the iPad Pro, and it will also support the Magic Keyboard . That means the iPad Air 4 could be a serious upgrade in terms of capabilities over the current iPad Air.
We also expect the next iPad Air to come with storage options of 128GB, 256GB and 512GB, as well as having an 11-inch Liquid Retina display. It is not yet clear if that display has a refresh rate of 120Hz like the iPad Pro or if this feature is saved for the Pro tablets.
Unfortunately, the upgrades that the iPad Air 4 gets can also see the price increase, suggesting that it could cost $ 649, which is $ 150 more than the iPad Air 3.
MyDrivers also reports that an updated iPad Pro could be underway next month, likely at the same launch event as the iPhone 12. It’s not clear what upgrades a new iPad Pro will have other than a faster chip. But there have been suggestions that it could be one of the first devices to get a micro-LED display, although other rumors have claimed that there will be no 20 Apple devices with such a screen until 2021 We will have to wait until September (or October) to see which rumors bear fruit.
