It is expected that Apple is all set to unveil the new iPad Air on May 7 during the “Let loose” event.

The 6th gen upcoming iPad Air is expected to incorporate several new features for closing the gap between the iPad Pro series. Here are some of the most interesting facts that we already know about the 6th gen iPad Air.

iPad Air comes in two different sizes

According to reports, it is expected that Apple will offer the 6th gen iPad Air in two different sizes. One is the regular 11-inch model and the other is a large 12.9-inch model. According to a recent report, the new models of iPad Air will still feature a regular LED panel which is called the Liquid Retina display by Apple. More contrast and higher brightness levels is offered by miniLED displays and it is definitely higher than response LED panels. To keep the manufacturing cost in check, the tech giant might just continue using regular LED panels.

iPad Air will have new color options

Apple has always been using vibrant colours and hues for the iPad Air and it is most likely to be continued this year as well. The upcoming iPad Air models will reportedly come in a premium metal unibody design. It will also have a power button which will have an integrated Touch ID, a quad-speaker setup and a USB-C port.

Faster charging with a bigger battery

Both models of the iPad Air will probably be packed with a bigger battery. This is for supporting faster charging. These models will thus deliver better battery life with a comparatively now efficient chip. Just like iPhone 15, Apple might be using new battery chemistry to increase battery lives by a significant amount.

Pricing and Launch Date of iPad Air

Apple will most likely launch the new lineup of iPad Air along with the iPad Pro on May 7, followed by the devices going on sale the next week. The 11 inch iPad might cost Rs 59,900 and the 12.9-inch model is expected to cost around Rs 10,000 more in India.
