A new supply chain written report from Japanese blog Macotakara claims that the fourth-gen iPad Air will feature a USB-C port, while the side by side iPad mini refresh will continue to feature a Lightning Connector.

Then far, Apple has only used USB-C port on its iPad Pro lineup, with other iPads nonetheless sticking to a Lightning connector.

The report claims that Apple will base the next iPad Air refresh on the 11-inch iPad Pro, though it will come with downgraded cameras. This could hateful that the 4th gen. iPad Pro will feature slimmer bezels surrounding its display and perhaps even Face ID.

Equally iPad Air (third generation) was developed based on iPad Pro (10.5-inch), iPad Air (quaternary generation) may be developed based on iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) past downgrading the rear camera features.

In March, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had claimed that the iPad Air could come up with a 10.8-inch brandish while the next generation iPad mini could come with an 8.5-inch display. The Cupertino visitor intends on adopting the same strategy for them as it did for the iPhone SE before this year: latest chipsets, older camera, and an affordable price bespeak. The refreshed devices could launch later this year or in early 2022.

Our Take

Apple's existing iPad lineup is pretty confusing and comprises of a number of models. Information technology looks like the company intends to exercise little to fix that as the upcoming iPad Air refresh could stop up making it very like to the iPad Pro. Still, if the fourth-generation iPad Air ends up offer about the same set of features equally the iPad Pro at its existing price point, I dubiety customers volition have anything to complaint near.
