Leaked renders: Could this be Apple’s new 12.9-inch iPad Air design?،
This year, Apple is preparing to release not one but four new iPads! Yes, you read correctly. Two new iPad Air models and two new iPad Pro models could be on the horizon. And guess what? The design secrets of the 12.9-inch iPad Air may have just been revealed.
91mobiles recently released alleged schematics for the new iPad Air, showcasing a larger 12.9-inch screen compared to the current 10.9-inch model. These images, collected from industry sources, give us a glimpse. But be careful, there is no guarantee that this will be the final design.
The biggest change might just be the huge increase in screen size, from 10.9 inches in the fifth-generation iPad Air (2022) to an impressive 12.9 inches in the next version. However, rumor has it that both sizes will be up for grabs this time around. If the rumors prove true, it would mark the official debut of the largest iPad Air ever, featuring a dazzling 12.9-inch screen – a size previously reserved for the iPad Pro line.
Taking a look at the leaked CAD renders, the possible design of the 12.9-inch iPad Air model looks familiar: slim body, all-screen design, and that signature Touch ID button on the edge of the device, just like its predecessor . Top and bottom speaker grilles, a side switch, and a USB-C port on the bottom keep things in line.
While the design isn't getting a major overhaul, the rear camera layout is getting a facelift. The current iPad Air keeps things simple with a subtle camera bump housing a single lens. However, these diagrams reveal one change: a redesigned bump now housing both the lens and flash.
While the exact timeline remains a bit of a mystery, it looks like the new iPad Air could debut in the first half of this year. As previously mentioned, there's also buzz around a new iPad Pro line featuring those dazzling OLED displays. And guess what? We recently reported that production of iPad Pro OLED displays may already be underway. Stay tuned for updates!
