The rumor that Apple plan to launch an oversize rendering of its mid - range iPad Air tablet ( widely cover back inOctober , then again inDecember ) just got another hike , with the leak of CAD renders of the equipment ’s design .
write Saturday by91mobiles , the render are alleged to have been “ shared by industriousness sources ” and purport to show what the unexampled Air will look like from eight dissimilar angle . It ’s important to note , however , that these are purely digital renders rather than images of literal devices ( or even pre - release prototypes ) , and the final designing could be different : 91mobiles itself says only that the renders “ give us an melodic theme on the potential conception . ”
The first thing you ’ll notice about the renders is how exchangeable they are to survive Air innovation – other than being bigger , of course of instruction . Most surprisingly , the front - facing camera remains on the brusque edge , rather than being moved to the long edge like on the10th - gen iPad . For that twist , this made perfect sense , because its front camera is mostly used for video calls , in which landscape preference is the more popular choice . We ’re not certain why that system of logic does n’t utilize to the Air , other than guessing that the company felt the Apple Pencil charging apparatus , which magnetically attach to the long boundary , is more authoritative than a properly place camera .
That’s an odd place for a camera.
Other than this , the speakers face the same , the power and volume push count the same , and the Smart Connector on the back looks the same . The only obvious change we can descry touch the rear - face camera , which now seems to sit in a farm mental faculty together with the heartbeat ; on the 2022 simulation , only the lens sits gallant of the back surface .
There were no new iPads in 2023 , but we anticipate Apple to announce a new line of iPad Airs , including the new turgid role model , in springtime 2024 . For all the belated news and hearsay , check our regularly updatednew iPad Airsuperguide .
