The 9th generation iPad will come with an A13 processor and a 10.5-inch display

Apple recently unveiled the eighth-generation iPad with its familiar design and powerful A12 processor at the Time Files event. It is now rumored that tech giant Cupertino is developing another iPad from the same family for release in the first half of 2021, which could cost less than the eighth-generation iPad and replace it.

According to the Chinese website CNBeta, Apple is developing an entry-level iPad for release in the spring of 2021, which will use the same design as before and the touchscreen integrated with the Home button, and the A13 Bionic processor will provide the processing power. Apple has used a 10.2-inch display on the eighth generation iPad; But the next version is said to use the third-generation iPad Air design and narrower bezels, and will use a 10.5-inch display in the same chassis.

Apple plans to offer a slimmer and lighter product using the design of the iPad Air 3 , despite the increase in screen size. The ninth-generation iPad looks set to retain its Lightning port, and its basic configuration will come with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for $ 299. The base version of the eighth generation iPad with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage was priced at $ 329.

According to previous rumors, Apple is expected to launch at least one high-end iPad with a mini LED display in the first half of next year; But it is unlikely that the $ 299 iPad will be equipped with this advanced and expensive display. In addition, with the introduction of the 8th generation iPad, the release of the ninth generation in less than 9 months will be a strange move; But Apple may have two new versions of the iPad economy planned for next year, and will release the second version in the same period leading up to September 2021 (September 1400). However, until the release of reliable information and official news, the report should be considered only as a rumor.
