New iPad Air Rumored to Launch This Spring With A15 Chip, 5G, Center Stage Camera, and More

Apple is planning to release a fifth-generation iPad Air with similar features as the sixth-generation iPad mini, including an A15 Bionic chip, 12-megapixel Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage support, 5G for cellular models, and Quad-LED True Tone flash, according to Japanese blog Mac Otakara (http://www.macotakara.jp/blog/rumor/entry-42293.html).

Citing reliables sources in China, the report claims that the new iPad Air could be announced alongside the third-generation iPhone SE (https://www.macrumors.com/2021/11/30/iphone-se-3-release-date-rumor/) in spring 2022.





The new iPad Air will have the same overall design as the current model, including a single-lens rear camera, the report adds. Released in October 2020, the current iPad Air features a 10.9-inch display with slim bezels, a Touch ID power button, and a USB-C port, with color options including Space Gray, Silver, Green, Rose Gold, and Sky Blue.





Apple's first product event of the year will likely take place in March or April (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/01/09/apple-event-march-or-april-2022-gurman/) as usual, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, so it's possible that the new iPad Air and iPhone SE models could be announced at that event.





Mac Otakara accurately reported that the fourth-generation iPad Air would be equipped with a USB-C port, and that the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro would be 0.5mm thicker to accommodate for a mini-LED display. On the other hand, the website has made some inaccurate claims, including that new AirPods Pro would launch in April 2021.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: iPad Air  (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-air/)</div><div class="linkback">Tag: macotakara.jp (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/macotakara-jp/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: iPad Air (Caution) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPad-Air)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: iPad (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ipad.137)</div>
