Dimensions of the new iPad Pro and iPad Air tablets leak،
We've been waiting for Apple to introduce two new iPad Air models this year, including a brand new 12.9-inch tablet. Apple is trying to position the iPad Air line as powerful tablets just one level below the high-end iPad Pro slates. Speaking of the latter, both iPad Pros are expected to feature OLED panels this year, the first iPads to have the feature. We're happy to see Apple shaking up its iPad lineup, because since the pandemic ended, the tablet market, including the iPad, needs some changes.
9to5Mac has received information from its sources on some dimensions and model numbers of the upcoming iPad slates. The two iPad Air tablets, one with a 10.9-inch screen like the current version of the tablet, and the other model with the aforementioned 12.9-inch screen, will carry the model numbers J507 and J537, respectively. .
Apple expected to launch 12.9-inch iPad Air with larger screen next month
The 12.9-inch iPad Air will measure 280.6mm x 214.9mm x 6.0mm, which is almost exactly the same as the 2022 12.9-inch iPad Pro which measures 280.6mm x 214, 9mm x 6.4mm. The new 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be slightly larger but thinner. This is because OLED panels don't have as many layers as LCD panels, which explains the 1.4mm difference in thickness between the currently available 12.9-inch iPad Pro (6.4mm) and the expected 5mm thickness of the 12.9-inch iPad 2024. Pro.
The move from LCD to OLED will also make the 11-inch iPad Pro thinner. The 2022 model measures 247.6mm x 178.5mm x 5.9mm compared to the 249.7mm x 177.5mm x 5.1mm dimensions of the 2024 11-inch iPad Pro according to 9to5Mac's source. The new model will be 0.8 mm thinner.
While the 2024 iPad Pro lineup is expected to be powered by the Apple M3 chipset (instead of the M2) and have additional storage options available, the new iPad Air
series could either move from the M1 to M2 chipset or move from the M1 to M3. The new iPads could go on sale towards the end of next month.
