New 12.9-inch version
Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst at Tianfeng Securities, said that Apple is about to launch two versions of iPad Air models, 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch. This is also the first time that the product has been launched in different screen sizes.
Ming-Chi Kuo said that the new iPad Air still uses traditional LCD material instead of mini-LED backlight material.
Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the 12.9-inch iPad Air will be equipped with an “oxide” back panel that can improve display performance.
M2 chip
The next iPad Air models will likely feature Apple’s M2 chip, which offers improved performance and power efficiency over the current model’s M1 chip. Apple has updated the iPad Pro with M2 chip in October 2022.
Supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3
The next iPad Air model is likely to support Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, enabling faster Wi-Fi networking speeds and improved Bluetooth connectivity.
Apple has now upgraded iPad Pro, iPhone 15 Pro models, and most Mac devices to add Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support.
