A new iPad for 2021 is very likely, as Apple launches new tablets for its entry-level iPad line almost every year, and we’ve already been hearing rumors about who what the new record would look like.
Screen size, processing power, price and more details about the new iPad (2021) have already been released, and that year has not yet begun – as time goes on, we seem to hear even more.
Below, we’ve included all the details we’ve heard about the new iPad, to paint the usual picture of the slate.
Before even more details come out, we’ve also written a wish list of all the changes we want the next iPad to make on its iPad 10.2 (2020) preview to make a valuable update.
Cut to chase
- What is it Apple’s next entry-level iPad
- When is he out? Maybe in the early 2021
- How much will it cost? Apparently just $ 299 (around £ 220, AU $ 400)
Date and price of new iPad release (2021)
The rumors we have heard so far indicate the next iPad is coming out in early 2021, at least in the first half of the year. The pre-owner of the dashboard only came out in October 2020 and that would be an early surprise.
If that doesn’t work out, September or October 2021, along with the iPhone 13 and Apple Watch 7, is more likely for a release date.
The iPad price leak suggests it could be the cheapest iPad we’ve seen so far, suggesting the slate could cost just $ 299 in the US, which turns out to be around £ 220, at AU $ 400.
That’s just a cheaper touch than previous low-end iPads – the iPad 10.2 (2020) costs $ 329 / £ 329 / AU $ 499, so just a little more – but maybe some valuing the lowest price.
A new iPad (2021) is leaking and rumored
The first iPad rumor (2021) we heard suggested it would come with the A13 Bionic chipset we saw in iPhone 11 phones, along with 4GB of RAM. The leak also suggested that the board will have a 10.5-inch screen, 0.3 inches larger than before.
He also said it will have 64GB storage in the most affordable version, which would be a big step up from the 32GB currently available on the standard iPad.
Eventually, that leak leaked the design detail, but it’s usually similar to previous iPads with a Touch ID home button and large bezels.
A second leak again did all this information, adding to the pricing details we submitted above. He also suggested that the body of the iPad will be thinner and lighter than the body of the tablet it thrives on.
What we want to see
Here is a list of the features we want to see in the next entry level iPad (2021), including changes from previous models, extras from other iPad lines, and modern features for this model.
1. High resolution selfie camera
If you take a selfie with the iPad 10.2 (2020), or skip a video call, you might look a little gloomy. That’s because the tablet only has a 1.2MP front-facing camera, which is quite low.
Now a tablet doesn’t need a super-res-res selfie snapper – you’re probably going to take better shots with your phone, and if you want a professional photo, it’s not a record as it is you re going to do Do it.
Even still, 1.2MP is pretty low, and we feel that Apple could make the case up to 8MP or so for enhanced selfies and video calling.
2. Major design change
The iPad’s main line has never fundamentally changed the look since it was originally paid for, 10 years ago. The iPad 10.2 in 2020, the eight-gen model, looks old-fashioned, even compared to Android tablets at an affordable price, and iPad Air and iPad Pro models that are more promising in the future are not on many to do this to balance this.
The entry-level iPad line is well-designed for a design update, similar to that of the iPad Air 4, though we don’t want a proper design reproduction. We just want a new entry level iPad that feels modern in hand, and easily recognizable from its predecessors.
3. More storage space
Why do most smartphones have 128GB storage, but Apple still sells tablets with only 32GB? In today’s world where people download games, movies, TV shows, music, work documents and more, that just isn’t enough.
Yes, you could choose an option for higher storage, but the 2020 iPad only came in 32GB or 128GB options – a small amount, or a fair amount, but that might not be enough for some people who want to download content loads. IPad Pro models come with up to 1TB or 1,000GB, after all.
4. Faster tax
Most entry-level iPads come with a 10W charge, which is about as fast as melting glacier. Even though the 2020 model came with 20W charging, that’s still very slow, and can take a while for a slate to take.
Apple’s results were never good with battery life or fast charge, but we’d like the company to step up its game just a little bit. This would be helped by our next point …
5. USB-C port
… a USB-C port is something we’re scratching our heads about why it’s not used in every iPad yet. While they have iPad Pro models, and the latest iPad Air does as well, the entry-level and Mini series of iPads so far have stuck to the lower Lightning port.
USB-C cables are much faster for cost than electronics, and they also have faster data transfer. USB-C is much more common for cables, so if you had an iPad with it you could use it with all your cables and devices that also use the standard, and the physical jack itself is just more stabilizer of the mobile electrical connector.
Apple still seems to be using Lightning Ports because that’s its proprietary technology, so it makes more money from selling you its own chargers and facilities instead of you. ‘Buy cheaper third-party ones. But with their slowness and fluidity, Apple can’t keep slipping its shoes with this outdated technology forever.
