A leaker by the handle ‘91 Mobiles’ shows a look that’s nearly the same as the 4th and 5th generation iPad Air, but with bigger dimensions to accommodate the bigger screen. The CAD render highlights a redesigned rear camera lens- the pill-shaped protrusion is now longer compared to the round protrusion of the previous models. It’s believed that the design takes on an appearance similar to the iPhone XS and iPhone X.
Apple’s Next‑Gen iPad Air: Design, Specs & Release Date
Picture a sleek tablet that looks almost like the 12.9‑inch iPad Pro but with a slightly thicker bezel. That’s what early buzz has the newest iPad Air looking like: a pretty face, but a bit more modest on the high‑end features.
Design Resemblance to the iPad Pro
Apple has gone with a familiar, minimalist look. The new Air’s chassis is clean, the edges are a smidge wider than the Pro, and the overall feel is “Hey, I’m the same family, but I keep it simple.”
Core Features
- Earlier iPad Air models already had the Liquid Retina display, so you can expect the same level of brightness and color fidelity.
- The rumored M2 chip means a noticeable boost in speed and graphics performance—great for streaming, gaming, and multitasking.
- No LiDAR scanner this time around. Apple’s basically saying, “We’re not going to charge you extra for augmented‑reality magic.”
- ProMotion technology is on standby, so it’ll likely stay at the standard 60 Hz refresh, not the buttery 120 Hz seen on the Pro.
What Apple Isn’t Including
- No LiDAR scanner—no depth sensor, so the AR experience feels less immersive.
- No ProMotion—the screen will refresh at 60 Hz, not the 120 Hz flare that’s perfect for gaming.
- Pro‑grade camera upgrades will be limited; it’s a sweet spot for everyday use.
Rumored M2 Chip & Launch Timeline
According to 91 Mobiles, the fastest‑moving production line of this laptop‑style tablet will star the M2 chip and should hit shelves in March 2025. If that’s true, the Air could be a joyfully smooth ride for anything from a quick email check to a full‑blown movie marathon.
