Next Month Should Be iPad Month
According to recent reports, Apple is expected to update its tablet lineup next month after more than a year without any significant upgrades. The highly anticipated iPad Pro 2024 is rumored to be leading the charge with its new OLED panels. However, what can we expect from the rest of the lineup?
iPad Air 2024 to Feature MiniLED Panel
A report from a reliable source suggests that the iPad Air 2024 will feature a MiniLED panel, following the iPad Pro’s move to OLED. Display analyst Ross Young claims that the 12.9-inch version of the iPad Air will incorporate the same type of display found on the current iPad Pro 2022. This is expected to deliver sharp picture quality, rich colors, and improved power consumption.
Potential Battery Life Upgrades
Additionally, rumors suggest that the new iPad Air will be powered by the Apple M3 chip. This presents an exciting possibility of substantial battery life upgrades, similar to the fantastic performance we have seen in tests for the MacBook Air 13-inch M3.
These anticipated upgrades to the iPad Air lineup, with its enhanced display and powerful chip, are expected to secure its position as the best iPad in the current lineup.
Pricing and Display Size
As of now, there is no information available regarding pricing for the iPad Air 2024. The current iPad Air (2022) starts at $599 for the 64GB model and $749 for the 256GB version. However, a larger display could potentially result in a price increase. Furthermore, it remains uncertain if Apple will continue offering the 10.9-inch version or solely update the line to the 12.9-inch form factor.
