Reports indicate that the highly anticipated next-generation iPad Air is currently in transit to various countries, including the United States, signaling its imminent release.
According to a new rumor, this tablet will be shipped from China ahead of its announcement. What's surprising here is that it will arrive with an array of new features.
If this is happening soon, what should we expect for this particular model of 2024?
What the Leaker Says About 2024 iPad Air
According to reputable leaker "Instant Digital," manufacturers in China have commenced shipping the 2024 iPad Air in multiple sizes to international destinations. The source suggests that all preparations have been finalized for the official launch of the device.
For those unfamiliar with Instant Digital, this Chinese tipster usually posts information on Weibo, the Chinese version of Facebook. He is the same source who said that two iPad Air tablets will be launched by Apple this year. He also detailed that they will come in two sizes: 10.9 and 12.9 inches.
Expected Upgrades For 2024 iPad Air
Rumored to house the powerful M2 chip, the sixth-generation iPad Air is anticipated to boast a redesigned rear camera and enhanced specifications such as Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E support, per MacRumors.
Notably, the upcoming iPad Air is speculated to offer consumers the choice between two size variants, aligning with Apple's trend of offering multiple size options across its product lineup.
Speculations About the Launch Date of iPad Air
Industry insiders hint at a potential unveiling of the new iPad models on Tuesday, March 26. If that is true, we could see it sooner.
On other hand, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggests that Apple may introduce both the iPad Air and iPad Pro models by the end of March or in early April. However, there might be delays on its release and it will prompt the Cupertino giant to launch it in April instead of March, as per our previous report.
What About iPhone 16?
Now we're done with the iPad family, it's time to have a glimpse of what's coming next for iPhone 15 successor: iPhone 16.
Based on Digital Trends' report last week, its redesign has been leaked and there are interesting notes we need to see.
The brand-new design will allegedly replace the vertical pill-like camera island. Other than that, there's nothing to see here since the Face ID cutout and physical button layout are expected to be unchanged.
Of course, the special part will definitely revolve around the Pro version which will have Titanium and customizable buttons like the iPhone 15 Pro's Action button. One thing that might be new here is the new color option for the Titanium case which is "White Titanium."
