Exactly when the iPad Air3 will be launched is also a topic that many Apple fans are paying close attention to this year. Some friends even think that the iPad Air3 will not be launched. Currently, the most popular tablet computer on the market is still the iPad. However, the overall sales volume has become less optimistic. Looking at the performance of tablet computers in recent quarters, some in the industry feel that iPads are too durable in daily life, and many consumers have lost the desire to buy new products. . So today the editor will briefly introduce when iPad Air3 will be launched and some simple information.
Release time
iPad Air2 was officially launched in October 2014, so many people are looking forward to its successor. iPad Air3 will be released in September 2015 or March 2016. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also predicted that Apple would release the new iPad Air3 in March, but Apple did not do so. Therefore, some media believe that this tablet computer is likely to be unveiled at the launch conference in September.
Hardware specifications
So far, the hardware specifications of iPad Air3 are still a mystery. Although many media have exposed this information, we cannot confirm that they are completely Accurate. Bloomberg said that Johny Srouji, Apple’s head of chip design, once revealed that the iPad Air3 will be equipped with an A9X processor with the same performance as the iPad Pro.
In terms of styling design, although the iPad Air is already very slim, the iPad Air3 may take this feature to the extreme and improve battery life and internal optimization. In the case of reduced battery capacity To ensure the user's usage time, it is equipped with 4 speakers (two up and two down) at the same time.
In addition, the iPad Air3 design drawings that have been exposed by the media also indicate that the Smart Connector design will also be added to the iPad Air3, which means that users can use Smart Connectors in the new tablet. Keyboard.
Display screen
There are rumors that the iPad Air3 will retain the 9.7-inch display screen of the previous generation, but itsThe resolution will be increased to 3112×2334 pixels, and the pixel density will reach an astonishing 401ppi. The resolution of iPad Air2 is 2048×1536 pixels, and the pixel density is only 264ppi.
However, considering that Apple is unlikely to achieve a hardware leap in the new tablet computer, the pixel density of the iPad Pro for professionals is only 264ppi, so the iPad Air for the general consumer market The 3 is unlikely to have such a big upgrade in terms of display.
At present, the two iPad Pros already support Apple Pencil, so the iPad Air3, which uses the same A9X processor, may also support handwriting and add anti-reflective coating to the screen. But in terms of the 3D Touch function, Kuo Ming-chi once said that Apple is unlikely to add this function to tablet products because there are still problems in the production process.
Camera
There are predictions that the iPad Air3 will still use the same 8-megapixel rear camera as the iPad Air2. Because Apple is unlikely to make its camera capabilities better than those of the iPad Pro. Therefore, those rumors that the new tablet will be equipped with a 13-megapixel camera are not reliable.
In addition, recently leaked drawings show that Apple may add a rear LED flash to the iPad Air3, which has never been seen in Apple's tablets. As for the front camera, iPad Air3 may also be upgraded.
Memory
In addition to the processor, memory is also an aspect that users are very concerned about. The current running memory of iPad Air2 and iPad Pro is 2GB and 4GB respectively. Therefore, iPad Air3 is likely to have 3GB of running memory. Although it has been upgraded, it will not surpass the iPad Pro.
In terms of storage space, although there are rumors that Apple will cancel the 16GB version, we have no definite evidence to prove this. Of course, the 64GB and 128GB versions should still be launched.
System
The iOS 10 system is likely to be announced at this year's WWDC Global Developers Conference. If the iPad Air3 really follows If the iPhone 7 arrives together, we are almost certain that it will be equipped with the latest iOS 10 system.
Function
We mentioned earlier that Apple is unlikely to equip the iPad Air 3 with the 3D Touch function. Considering that neither iPad Pro has added this function, the iPad Air 3Not supporting this feature is not unacceptable. In addition, standard configurations such as Touch ID, Bluetooth 4.2 and Lightning interface are definitely indispensable.
Price
iPad Air3 is likely to have the same market price as iPad Air2, that is, the 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB versions are priced at 3,588 yuan, 4,288 yuan, and 4,988 yuan respectively. If Apple cancels the 16GB version of this tablet and uses the 32GB version, its price will be between 3588 and 4288 yuan.
In fact, these news still need to be verified. After all, the real machine has not yet been launched, and some people who are more concerned about the iPad Air series of tablet computers pointed out that for some iPad users, there is already a surplus of Air2 on the market. If the performance of the iPad Air3, which has not yet been launched, is It is actually difficult to attract consumers' attention if it is strengthened to ten times. However, the high technology on the market is becoming more and more developed, which will lead to the surplus of many products. Okay, that’s all. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone.
