1. New Form Factor
Apple is rumored to be introducing a new 12.9-inch iPad Air model, expanding the lineup to two display sizes. This larger option will mark the first time the iPad Air is available in a screen size that matches the iPad Pro.
2. Mini-LED Display Option
Interestingly, reports suggest that the 12.9-inch iPad Air may feature a mini-LED screen, while the 10.9-inch model will retain LCD panels. Mini-LED offers enhanced contrast and color accuracy compared to LCD.
3. Bigger Camera Bump
The new iPad Air models are expected to sport a redesigned camera bump with a vertical orientation and increased protrusion. This suggests Apple may be adding new camera capabilities, such as a flash.
4. No New Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air
Despite rumors of a new Magic Keyboard with an aluminum design for the iPad Pro, the iPad Air will not receive this update. Instead, both the 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Air models will work with the existing Magic Keyboard.
5. Landscape Front-Facing Camera
Apple is anticipated to reposition the front-facing camera on the iPad Air to the landscape side. This alignment optimizes video calls and other landscape-oriented activities when the device is used with the Magic Keyboard or in landscape mode.
