The iPad to dry, the one that does not have a name and is the cheapest Apple tablet, will be renewed in 2021 as usual and will do so with notable changes compared to what we have been seeing in its 2019 and 2020 versions. weeks that we knew this, but now the Japanese media Mac Otakara has confirmed the information that we knew until then about this 9th generation iPad, adding additional information regarding the iPad Pro that we will also see in these months.
An iPad 9 with ‘Air’ 2019 style
Traditionally, cheap Apple iPads have been rescuing the novelties that in turn had been presented by the ‘Air’ model of previous generations. The brand new renovation of the latter with an all-screen design will not reach the normal iPad, at least for now, but the design that that model has had in 2019 will arrive. It is said that this ninth generation will be thinner , although it will continue incorporating Touch ID in the Home button and that its screen will reach 10.5 inches , something remarkable considering that the iPad 8 launched a few months ago has 10.2 inches and did not change anything visually compared to its predecessor.
iPad Air 2019, what the 9th generation iPad will look like
Cnbeta released this information for the first time in early December, stating that inside this iPad we would find 4 GB of RAM and an A13 Bionic processor. This is the chip that incorporated the entire iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2020 family, making it a still very powerful processor that is not surpassed by any except the A14 Bionic. Of course, we discard from this equation the always powerful A12Z Bionic which is a special version for the ‘Pro’ that always have higher performance processors.
When could it be released?
In the aforementioned report released by Cnbeta it was said that this ninth generation iPad could arrive earlier than expected, placing its launch date even at the beginning of this 2021 . Taking into account that January and February are not usually months in which Apple presents new hardware, we would be in March at least. It would be a strange move considering that the last generation of this tablet was launched in September, but if we take into account that it barely had any changes compared to its predecessor, it is understandable that this prompt renewal was welcomed.
What is said about the iPad Pro?
Until now, all the information that we have had about the iPad Pro 2021 refers to the 12.9-inch model. This could be due to a possible elimination of the smaller model and it is that you have to take into account the similarities between the 11-inch iPad Pro with the iPad Air 2020 to check that they step on each other. Among the novelties of this iPad is the screen with miniLED technology that Apple has been preparing for several years and that could also make its appearance in the MacBook this year.
In Mac Otakara they have hardly commented on anything about this device and they have not made reference to the fact that it is the 12.9-inch model that we are going to see, but they have confirmed an important quality jump in the processor . If the current A12Z Bionic is already the best Apple chip except for the M1, the leap it will make will place it at a level that others will hardly approach. Possibly it is a variant of the A14 , being able to add the letter “X” that traditionally take in its name (the A12Z was a second version of the A12X).
We now await some interesting weeks and months in which we are sure that there will be succulent information about all the iPad of the apple company. Of course, we have to know if the iPad mini , one of the most beloved, will be renewed or not this year. In any case we will be attentive to tell you everything that is known about it.
