Thinner ninth-gen iPad due this fall with a faster processor
[ad_1]
You can add one more device to the avalanche of new products expected from Apple this fall. Along with a new iPad mini, MacBook Pro, Apple Watch, and, of course, the iPhone 13, Apple is also expected to give the entry-level iPad a minor refresh.
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the ninth-generation iPad will feature a design that’s similar to the current model, which arrived in 2020 with an A12 Bionic processor. Along with the usual processor bump (likely to the A14 Bionic), Gurman says the new iPad will feature a “thinner form factor” but likely retain the home button. The current iPad is 0.29 inches (7.5 mm) thick while the thinnest iPad ever made, the iPad Air 2, was 0.24 inches (6.1 mm) thick.
Michael Simon has been covering Apple since the iPod was the iWalk. His obsession with technology goes back to his first PC—the IBM Thinkpad with the lift-up keyboard for swapping out the drive. He’s still waiting for that to come back in style tbh.
