According to MyDrivers' "foreign sources," Apple may launch the iPad Air 4 in March 2021 and introduce a tablet with the iPhone 12's A14 Bionic chip.

The source told a Chinese website that the fourth-generation iPad Air will arrive early next year and will be designed along the aesthetic of the iPad Pro 2020. This means the bulky bezel will be gone and the Touch ID-enabled home button will likely be eliminated.

We have heard this information before in various leaks, but MyDrivers actually posted the price, lending credence to the earlier rumor. Apple will be launching the iPhone 12, Apple Watch 6, and possibly a MacBook Pro with an ARM-based chip in the fall. Therefore, it makes sense to save what we previously named the iPad Air 2020 for 2021.

The iPad Air 4 will not only have a redesigned, more powerful chipset, but like the iPad Pro, it will also move from a Lightning connector to a USB-C port and support the Magic Keyboard. In other words, the iPad Air 4 could be a significant upgrade in functionality over the current iPad Air.

The next iPad Air is also expected to come with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options and an 11-inch Liquid Retina display. It is not yet clear if that display will have a 120 Hz refresh rate like the iPad Pro or if that feature will be retained for the Pro tablet.

Unfortunately, the upgrades that the iPad Air 4 is expected to receive could also increase its price, suggesting that it could be $150 more than the iPad Air 3 at $649.

MyDrivers also reports that an updated iPad Pro could arrive next month, possibly at the same launch event as the iPhone 12. It is not clear what upgrades the new iPad Pro will have besides a faster chip. However, it has been suggested that it could be one of the first devices to feature a micro-LED display, while other rumors suggest that an Apple device with such a screen will not appear until 2021. We will have to wait until September (or October) to see which rumors bear fruit.
