Title: Lower-Cost iPad and iPad Mini Refreshes Draw Closer as Apple Files New Models in Indian Database Post by: HCK on March 03, 2019, 04:05:08 pm Lower-Cost iPad and iPad Mini Refreshes Draw Closer as Apple Files New Models in Indian Database
Apple has registered two unreleased iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/) models with the Bureau of Indian Standards, according to MySmartPrice (https://www.mysmartprice.com/gear/apple-ipads-2019/). (http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2013/09/ipad_mini_4_2017_roundup_header.jpg) The model numbers A2124 and A2133 were already registered with the Eurasian Economic Commission (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/25/eurasian-filings-five-new-ipads/) in late January alongside five other <!---->iPad<!----> models, but the Indian filing suggests that a release is drawing closer. <img src="(http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2019/02/new-ipad-models-indian-database.jpg)" alt="" width="718" height="191" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-682334" /> Apple is widely expected to refresh its 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!----> and <!---->iPad<!----> mini in the coming weeks, with each tablet rumored to receive a spec bump (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/19/alleged-leaked-cad-image-ipad-mini-5-specs-bump/), including a faster processor. The 9.7-inch <!---->iPad<!----> is also expected to feature a larger 10.2-inch display (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/17/kuo-2019-ipad-pro-models-10-2-inch-ipad/). It would be the first update to the <!---->iPad<!----> mini since September 2015. It's unclear how and when the new <!---->iPad<!----> and <!---->iPad<!----> mini will be revealed. Multiple reports indicate Apple will host a special event on March 25 (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/13/apple-tv-service-launch-march-25/) at Steve Jobs Theater, but the word is that the keynote will be focused on Apple's rumored subscription-based news and video services, possibly ruling out hardware. Given that the <!---->iPad<!----> and <!---->iPad<!----> mini refreshes are shaping up to be rather minor, perhaps a press release will suffice. March has become a common month for updates to Apple's lower-end <!---->iPad<!----> models, so an announcement could be just weeks away. Two new iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) models are also expected in late 2019 (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/17/kuo-2019-ipad-pro-models-10-2-inch-ipad/) or early 2020 (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/30/apple-3d-laser-cameras-2020-iphones/), but few details are known about them yet. <div class="linkback">Related Roundups: iPad mini 5 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-mini/), iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: iPad Mini (Don't Buy) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPad_Mini), iPad (Don't Buy) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPad)</div> This article, "Lower-Cost iPad and iPad Mini Refreshes Draw Closer as Apple Files New Models in Indian Database (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/28/new-ipads-filed-in-indian-database/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/new-ipads-filed-in-indian-database.2171589/) in our forums <div class="feedflare"> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=3OI9tMPEXow:YGIC9QULrUg:yIl2AUoC8zA) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=6W8y8wAjSf4" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=3OI9tMPEXow:YGIC9QULrUg:6W8y8wAjSf4) <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img> (http://feeds.macrumors.com/~ff/MacRumors-Front?a=3OI9tMPEXow:YGIC9QULrUg:qj6IDK7rITs) </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MacRumors-Front/~4/3OI9tMPEXow" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Source: Lower-Cost iPad and iPad Mini Refreshes Draw Closer as Apple Files New Models in Indian Database (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/02/28/new-ipads-filed-in-indian-database/) |
