The iPad Air 4 is likely to be Apple's biggest redesign of a mid-range tablet in some time, but the company has been impressively reluctant to release any design leaks. That's why we're excited about this set of design renderings that show what Apple's next iPad Air will look like (if all the rumors are true).

As we've heard, the next iPad Air will look much like the 2018 iPad Pro, with flatter edges and similar bezels. These renderings, released by Slovakia-based tech site Svetapple, show how Apple might merge the iPad Air with the iPad Pro, which is consistent with the rumors we've been seeing.

First, and arguably most importantly, it appears that the iPad Air's screen will fit within a thinner bezel like the iPad Pro. This change alone would allow iPad owners to get one of the iPad Pro's best design features for a lower price (rumored to be $649) than the current iPad Pro ($799) and move more units.

The next thing you will notice is that there is only one rear camera, not three like the current iPad Pro. This would have made the iPad Air 4 more like the 2018 iPad Pro, except that the iPad Air 4's camera is rumored to be a wide-angle 12MP sensor and not the usual 7MP TrueDepth camera found on that older iPad Pro.

That's because the iPad Air is not expected to inherit Face ID login and keep the iPad Pro's perks. Instead, it will use Touch ID. But looking at this tiny bezel, one wonders how that will work?

Well, as shown here, there will be a new power button, which will have a Touch ID sensor in it. Similarly, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 has a fingerprint reader in the power button.

And the status of ports should not be overlooked. While most iPhones and iPads generally offer no surprises in their connectivity, we can see rumors of a USB-C port and Apple's own keyboard connector in the rendered pixels of this close-up.

If these two ports do indeed appear on the iPad Air 4, it could support the Magic Keyboard (if the chassis fits), but would not provide the faster charging (and cable share) would be offered.

Overall, Apple appears to be giving users many reasons to consider the higher price it would take to upgrade from the $499 iPad Air.
