iPad Air 4th Generation: Exclusive Concepts from Svetapple.sk
Rumors are growing around the upcoming release of a new iPad. A few clues suggest that it will be the iPad Air 4 and it should change its design from the current model. Svetapple has created a concept that is inspired by the leaks about the new tablet.
iPad Air 4: What We Know
The iPad Air 4 is said to no longer have a Home button and has a screen that occupies more of the front surface, just like Apple’s modern iPhones. The new model will have thinner bezels just like the iPad Pro models. The dimensions of the Air 4 are looking to be similar to those of the 11-inch iPad Pro, but it is not yet clear if the screen size will be exactly the same.
In contrast to the Pro model, the new iPad Air would not adopt Face ID but stay with Touch ID. The fingerprint sensor would be built into the ON/OFF button of the iPad, which would be a first for Apple (Touch ID has always been on the Home button). Apple has chosen to use Touch ID to keep the cost of the iPad Air as a cheaper alternative for consumers.
