The leaks are both unpredictable and unpredictable, you never know what will leak or where it will come from, this time (as has happened previously with other Apple devices) they have been filtered Photographs from the sleeve manufacturers for the new Apple devices, which usually receive from the central factories the external drawings of the new devices that are going to be presented soon in order to have their cases on sale as soon as possible.
For a change (note the sarcasm) the leaks come from China, however this does not diminish their credibility, much less, indeed, the vast majority of leaks come from the Asian country.
On this occasion we are presented with covers for the rumored and next to be presented iPad Air 3, cases that give many clues about what this new device could be, or rather its novelties.
We start with one of the most important, depending on the cover (looking at the lower side) the new iPad Air 3 would have a Smart Connector, you know, the connector that allows the connection of Apple's Smart Keyboard and possibly new accessories in the not too distant future.
But that's not all, it also has openings where it did not have them before, openings that correspond to the location of the iPad Pro's sound system, that is, it would not only inherit the Smart Connector but also the 4 stereo speakersAs if that were not enough, if we look at the hole made for the camera, we will see that this time it is not completely round, it is rather elongated, this is common in our iPhone cases due to its LED Flash, which by logic would indicate that the new iPad Air 3 would have LED Flash for taking photos and videos in low light conditions.
Undoubtedly a good hardware update visible to the naked eye for this new device that according to the rumors that we have been transmitting would be presented in March of this year, if they turn out to be true it would imply that iPad Air 3 (if it is called like that) would now be an iPad Pro Mini, since if Apple continues in its line it would also include a chip A9X inside (and probably the same 4GB of RAM Dual-Channel of the iPad Pro).
The rumors that have to be taken more with tweezers are those that indicate that the screen of this new tablet would have a 4K resolution, something that BEWARE, it can be completely possible, since as we well know the Apple chips can move this resolution from the A8 generation, without a doubt the A9 and A9X chips can sparely with this resolution.
There is barely a month until March, so we just have to be patient and wait for Apple to invite us to their conference to present the latest news, and if these rumors are true, It would be a great update to the iPad compared to the iPad Air 2.
If they have not put 4K in an iPad pro, I doubt and very much that an inferior iPad has it on the screen and if they do it would be embarrassing
Why would it be embarrassing exactly? The iPad air is the flagship iPad, the pro is an experiment.
I do not understand much about screens, but from what I know the smaller the screen the easier it is to put a higher resolution, correct me if not.
On the contrary, Anonimous, the BIGGER the screen, the EASIER the higher resolution, think of the pixels as if they were squares, the smaller the surface on which you want to put them, the smaller they must be, therefore, the more difficult it will be higher pixel density there will be (more pixels per square centimeter), but don't worry, the only reason Apple could add 4K resolution to the iPad Air 3 (if it did) is simply because it would be the newest iPad and something it has to have to motivate people to buy it, and if it had that resolution the iPad Pro would go after it (which today has an enviable 4K resolution in retina format, that is, it is rendered at a higher resolution to give a feeling of higher quality).
You're right, my clamp has gone so far that I have thought the other way around, without a doubt this ipad is a great update, although in the end it is that it does not have the 4k, it will be the cane.
I just hope they do not raise the price to the level of the ipad pro, that is why we have to be happy that the sales of the ipad are falling, but the price depends on how Apple looks at it, if it wants to continue making a product more and more « premium ”and thinking that the low sales of the ipad are due to the long renewal period of an ipad (part of the reason is), the price will go up without hesitation, but there are many of us who do not renew because of the price, and because our ipad still works . Let's hope it doesn't go up too much!
Thanks Juan and good article 😉
