IPad Air 3 Release Rumors: What We Know So Far

Back when I reported on whether we would see a full new “Apple Watch 2.0” in March (still no), I mentioned that a March event from Apple could still happen – and that likely releases would be an iPad and smaller iPhone.

Taiwanese web site DigiTimes additionally stated the iPad Air three can have a high-resolution 4K show and as much as 4GB of RAM, however the report is questionable because of the publication’s blended monitor document at reporting on Apple’s upcoming product plans.

Apple last updated the iPhone, and introduced the iPad Pro, at an event last September. The 9.7-inch tablet should feature quad speakers and a Smart Connector on the side for powering and connecting to “smart” accessories.

The leaked case also comes with a larger tear-drop shaped camera cutout that seems to indicate that the iPad Air 3 may be getting a rear camera flash.

The iPad Air 3 case shows that it features a cutting for LED flash for the rear-facing camera. Apple is expected to announce the iPad Air 3 during their next event where they will release the 4 inched iPhone 5SE as well.

In addition, Apple’s next tablet will most likely come pre-installed with the iOS 9.3. However the rest of the design itself appears to be almost identical to the iPad Air 2. iPad Pro speakers are capable of automatically balancing audio output levels relative to the position of the device.

The rumor: No, at least not according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who put out a research note for KGI Securities predicting that “production issues” will prevent Apple from adding 3D Touch to the iPad display. The first will be the long-rumored iPhone 5se, while the second will be the iPad Air 3.

With the biggie iPad Pro, Apple ditched the belief that mobile devices do not require stylus (as once held dear by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs) hence the birth of the well-received Apple Pencil.
