Apple’s M1-powered iPad Air

Recent rumors have suggested that the next update to the iPad Air could see Apple offering a larger model. A recent DigiTimes report suggests that the sixth generation iPad Air will offer a 12.9-inch model.

Hartley Charlton for MacRumors:

Citing industry sources, ‌DigiTimes‌ highlighted that unlike the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the 12.9-inch ‌iPad Air‌ will not feature a mini-LED display. The device will instead feature the same LCD technology used in the current, 10.9-inch ‌iPad Air‌.

The ‌iPad Air‌ has only ever been available in a single size, so presumably a 12.9-inch ‌iPad Air‌ would be offered in addition to a separate model with a smaller screen, just like how the ‌iPad Pro‌ is offered in both 11- and 12.9-inch variants.

The rumors suggest that the 12.9-inch ‌iPad Air‌ could arrive sooner rather than later in the sixth incarnation of the device. The current ‌iPad Air‌ featuring the M1 chip launched over a year and a half ago, and a new model with the M2 chip is widely expected to launch in the coming months.


MacDailyNews Take: The 12.9-inch iPad Air (Nike would likely object to “iPad Air Max”). Starting at $699?

  1. Just buy a 2018, 2020, even a 2021 iPad Pro at that size with way more features. What the heck is the point of this other than to just suck in dupes who think they’re “saving” $100-200 for an inferior product. Apple needs to stop playing the ticky-tacky market segmentation game. A USB-C Apple Pencil that needs to be charged with a cord, in 2023, are you serious? Plugging it straight into the device is forward-thinking by comparison.
