The world's number one tech giant Apple is undoubtedly well-known for its innovative and stylish products with its popular iPad series leading the way.

But according to the latest leaks and rumors, Apple is also expected to launch a new version of its iPad Air with an enormous 12.9 inches display and redesigned camera unit.
iPad Air has up to now been one of the biggest selling tablets in the series due to affordability, sleek design, and the power to handle tasks such as browsing the internet with an easy application.
Today's latest model of iPads Air introduced in 2020 features a display that measures 10.9 inches and incorporates a Touch ID sensor, single rear-camera, and a USB-C port. The device is compatible with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard so that one can carry it along and remain productive all the time.
Still, it appears the iPad Air is in line for a major leap if the most recent leaked CAD renders 91Mobiles examined based on information from within the industry are anything to go by. The CAD renderings show off an all-new iPad Air model and one that will feature the largest implementation yet of Apple's new mini-LED display technology, at 12.9 inches.
It will house also the redesigned camera unit, and there is going to be a prominent border around the lens, as well as the LED flash. The device will retain the all-screen design with a thin body from its current iPad Air variety, as well as featuring the Touch ID sensor integrated at the top of the device. The device will also have speaker grilles on both the top and the bottom, a side switch, and a USB-C port.

Such can be processors like A12 Bionic or A14 Bionic, and RAM might offer up to 4GB. The ability to support Apple Pencil use and Magic Keyboard is also another common feature within each corresponding series.
The new model of iPad Air is expected to be introduced along with the upcoming new models of iPad Pro rumours regarding which will come having mini-LED displays, faster processors, improved camera facilities and 5G compatibility.
