The spectrum of iPad available in the Apple store is very large. Currently the Pro version is marketed in its 12,9 and 11 inches. In addition, the Air versions, the 7th generation of the iPad, are also available. normal and finally the iPad mini. The large number of products means that at any time Apple can launch a small update of them. Rumors point to a new iPad Air that would jump at 10.8 inches and would see the light in the second half of the year. The leaks and reports around this device allow us to show you how designers imagine this new iPad Air through concepts.
A 10.8-inch iPad Air and Touch ID under the screen
The design of this redesigned iPad Air is available in a concept from the team of svetapple.sk. At first glance, the device they imagine It is an iPad Pro in a small version. Even smaller than the 11-inch iPad Pro with the smaller screen. According to the leaks, the device could rise from 10.5 inches to 10.8 inches, closing and limiting the spectrum from the 12.9 inches of the largest edition, to the 7.9 inches of the iPad mini.
To achieve a larger screen size edges are reduced, Leaving aside the design of the old iPad Air to get into the dynamics of the rounded edges that began with the Pro versions. As for the innovations that we can see inside, we highlight Touch ID integrated under the screen. This iPad Air would be the first device in the Big Apple to incorporate this infrared sensor that, together with Face ID, would be responsible for providing it with security.
In terms of connectivity, it receives USB-C connectivity with open hands, ceasing to be natively compatible with the 1st generation Apple Pencil (unless it is connected through an adapter) and it would become compatible with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, therefore, the device should be equipped with a magnetic charging strip in the margin.
In the cameras section we do not see much variation. In the concept we do not have the triple complex of cameras in the rear or changes in the front, therefore it is likely that we will continue with the 8MP wide angle. Recall that the new iPad Pro bring with them a 12 megapixel wide angle and a 10 megapixel ultra wide angle.
