Apple is all set to launch its next iPad line with iPad Pro and iPad Air models. The anticipation of the upcoming iPad Pro was high due to OLED display integration and the big upgrade in the coming iPad Air models. The article covers the highly anticipated iPad Air 2024 features, price, and expected launch.
iPad Air 2024
Apple was supposed to launch the next iPad lines – iPad Pro and iPad Air alongside the M3 MacBook Air in March, or April 2024. But, Apple continuously delayed it, and now fans wonder about the final drop of the new iPads on Apple.
Recently, we got the leak of an OLED screen integration in the upcoming iPad Pro models, but there has been less news on the iPad Air model’s features apart from the sizes of the models.
The recent tweet from the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, Ross Young, has sparked anticipation of big updates and surprises with the sixth-generation iPad Air launch.
There are many speculations about the features of the highly-anticipated iPad Air models, such as mini LED backlighting technology, two sizes, etc. We will explore each anticipated feature of the iPad Air further in the article.
When to expect the iPad Air 2024 potential launch?
The tech-savvy people who wonder about the expected launch date of the iPad Air official release can expect the launch in early May 2024. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, we can expect the final drop of the iPad Air during the second week of May 2024.
iPad Air 2024 Expected Features
The sixth generation of iPad Air expects to have the following features that mark the new tech-savvy and sleek designed enhanced iPad lines of Apple:
- Two sizes:
- The leak about the availability of the next iPad lines in two sizes has been around the market since the announcement of the new launches.
- According to Mark Gurman, Apple is most likely to launch the iPad Air in two sizes – 12.9-inch models and a newer version of 10.9-inch models, respectively.
- Camera: Another major update that is circulating about the iPad Air camera, which can move from top to side for better experience and performance during landscape and portrait orientation.
- Mini-LED screen:
- The OLED display for the iPad Pro will replace mini-LED and LCD screens that Apple plans to use with dual-stack technology.
- There has been a rumor that the screen of iPad Air will have a mini-LED screen replacing the LCD screens.
- The mini-LED Screen is supposed to be more efficient with deep contrast, brightness, and vividness. According to Gurman, the new MiniLED Display will only be available with the 12.9-inch iPad Air models.
- M3 or M2 Chip:
- The last iPad Air featured the M1 chip, so many are speculating about the integration of the M2 chip in the coming iPad Air models.
- M3 chip upgradation can also be possible since Apple is working on M3 chip integration in many of its products.
However, we can expect an M2 chip in the coming iPad Air as it would be a perfect way to create the difference between Pro and Air models of iPad lines.
Apple has not revealed any information about the change in the design of iPad models, so we expect the same design in the coming 2024 iPad lines.
Another important thing that you must note is that Apple would launch the Apple Pencil 3 with a new squeeze gesture and Magic Keyboard alongside the iPad Pro and iPad Air 6 models.
iPad Air 2024 Price
The pricing of the upcoming iPad lines is a matter of discussion as the model has two variants with some new updates.
According to the reports, the pricing of the iPad Air 10.9-inch variant would start from $599 to offer Apple customers a balance of premium features of iPads at an affordable price.
The approach of Apple with two-variant is simple to cater to users who seek versatility and enhanced performance. The bigger version of the iPad Air 6 can price around $699 to $799.
Both versions of iPad Air 6 expect to introduce a tiered pricing model to cater to diverse users according to their requirements and preferences.
The sixth-generation iPad Air promises to bring superior performance than the previous counterparts with some additional features. People who wish to upgrade to the next version from the previous ones can expect the launch of the iPad Air around early May 2024.
The full specifications of the iPad Air 6 will be soon updated by Apple, so keep an eye on the Apple update to know if the newer version is worth it or not.
