New iPad sizes may be coming soon, but it's already hard to keep trackRemember when there was only one size of iPad? 9.7-inches was all we needed.
Well known supply chain analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, released an investor note today, saying that it is very possible that Apple has some new affordable iPads coming in the future. According to Kuo, Apple could be releasing a 10.8-inch iPad by the end of the year, as well as a new 8.5-9-inch iPad mini sometime in 2021, with the latter device not having a major redesign in several years.
It isn't clear if the larger, affordable iPad that Kuo is speaking of will replace the 7th-generation 10.2-inch iPad that retails for $329, or the 10.5-inch iPad Air that sells for $499. Either way, having new iPad sizes and different life cycles for each just highlights one thing: the iPad sizing scheme is all over the place from one year to the next.
