On February 27th, reports from the media suggest that Apple will be unveiling a new iPad Air by the end of March.

It's reported that the new iPad Air will come in two sizes: 10.9 inches and a whopping 12.9 inches, making it the largest Air tablet ever released by Apple. s_3722dc8e1d69425a9078aa71b9cc6930.jpg The larger the size, the higher the price inevitably goes. Reports suggest that the new iPad Air 10.9-inch version will maintain the same price as the previous generation, starting at $599 (approximately ¥4300 RMB).

The 12.9-inch version of the iPad Air will be $200 more expensive, starting at $799 (about ¥5750 RMB), making it the highest-priced iPad Air in Apple's history.

Both sizes will feature traditional LCD screens, not mini-LED, and will be powered by Apple's in-house M2 chip, supporting Touch ID.

In terms of design, the new iPad Air seems to draw inspiration from the iPhone X with its camera design, featuring a protruding camera module with a flash beneath it.

Additionally, the new iPad Air will support Apple's Magic Keyboard. However, Apple will not design a dedicated keyboard for the new iPad Air; instead, it will be compatible with the existing Magic Keyboard, with a new design specifically tailored for the iPad Pro series. s_cb7f49880e1e4d288d9e847d1000d1b2.png
