Latest Updates on the Apple iPad Air (6th Gen): What We Know Now | Technology News

Apple fans have been eagerly waiting for the launch of the 6th Gen iPad Air, and their patience is finally about to pay off. After over two years since the last iPad Air was announced, Apple is set to break the streak with the unveiling of the new iPad Air at the ‘Let Loose’ event on May 7.

Rumors and speculations surrounding the upcoming iPad Air suggest that it will introduce several new features to bridge the gap between the iPad Air and iPad Pro series. The new iPad Air is expected to come in two sizes – an 11-inch model and a larger 12.9-inch model. While previous reports hinted at the possibility of a miniLED display, it seems Apple might stick to regular LED panels to keep manufacturing costs in check.

The new iPad Air is also rumored to come in vibrant color options, feature a premium metal unibody design, a power button with integrated Touch ID, a USB-C port, and a quad-speaker setup. One of the most significant changes could be the repositioning of the selfie camera from portrait to landscape orientation, offering a more seamless video-calling experience.

Additionally, the new iPad Air is expected to be powered by the M2 chip, offering improved performance in CPU, GPU, and AI departments. It might also come with double the storage capacity on the base model (128GB) and at least 8GB of RAM. The device could also feature a larger battery with faster charging capabilities.

Apple is likely to unveil the new iPad Air lineup alongside the iPad Pro on May 7, with the devices expected to go on sale the following week. Pricing details suggest that the 11-inch model may retain the same price as its predecessor, while the 12.9-inch model could be priced around Rs 10,000 more in India. Apple enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the launch of the 6th Gen iPad Air and the exciting new features it is set to bring to the table.
