compact iPad with a diagonal of 8.5 inches can be released next year – review

Apple plans to launch a new 10.8-inch iPad in the second half of 2023. A new 8.5-inch iPad will appear in the first half of 2023. So the famous insider Ming-Chi Kuo believes.

He did not specify whether the 10.8-inch iPad model would be a new version of the existing 10.2-inch iPad or 10.5-inch iPad Air. However, according to his early announcements, the new 8.5-inch model will be an extension of the iPad mini line. Given that Apple updated this family in March 2019, this looks reasonable.

Kuo also suggests that both new tablet models will receive a more powerful 20W power adapter. Other specifications are not specified, only processor usage is known. A12 bionic.

Prices have not yet been officially announced, however, it was previously reported that the new product may cost $ 329 (about 23,000 rubles at the rate excluding taxes). Of course, this is the likely price of the basic version and only in the USA. In Russia, it will obviously be more expensive.
