Apple is expected to launch its seventh-generation entry-level iPad model this year. The Cupertino-based company may keep the new iPad's design similar to the last year's model. The seventh-generation iPad is expected to retain Touch ID and a headphone jack. Apple had introduced a new 9.7-inch iPad last year without any major cosmetic changes and added support for Apple Pencil. This year's entry-level iPad model is expected to add new internals while keeping the same look, focusing towards the education sector.
According to a new report from Macotakara, Apple is expected to retain the same
enclosure as last year's iPad. The report also cites some sellers that claim Apple
hasn't finalised the screen size yet, and it could be bumped up to 10-inch. Apple
could also launch a new iPad mini model alongside the seventh-generation iPad.
Earlier reports had indicated that the upcoming iPad mini 5 may look similar to its
processor and could launch in the first half of 2019. iOS 12.2 beta release had earlier
hinted at the new iPad and iPad mini models skipping Face ID.
The 2019 iPad will not include the top-of-the-line features that we've seen on the
iPad Pro series last year. Apple will also keep the headphone jack on the new iPad.
The company's iPad Pro models last year didn't include a headphone jack. However,
there's still no word on whether Apple will keep the Lightning port or switch to USB
Type-C on the 2019 iPad model. What's nearly certain is that the new iPad will
include a new processor apart from other internal upgrades. The entry-level 2019
iPad model could debut alongside the iPad mini 5 at an event in March this year.
Previous reports had indicated that Apple may hold a launch event in March for new
AirPods 2 and the company's much-anticipated new video streaming service. Apple
is also expected to launch its news subscription service on March 25 this year. With
that there are many more other new launches this year on apple’s board and this
seems to be good news for the apple lovers. They will get more new apple products
in hand with more and better specified features, which will be surely loved by
everyone and also with that Apple is thinking about the high price which they are
having on the apple products.
