The iPad Air 3 is highly anticipated because Apple did not release an iPad model last year. For those who are planning to buy a new tablet, below are some of the rumored specs and features of the tablet to help you decide whether or not to purchase the upcoming iPad Air 3.

The Apple iPad Air 3 is expected to have the same specs as the iPad Pro, such as the Smart Connector which could come with a Small Keyboard and improved speakers. Rumors about its new features include a rear-LED flash which is totally new for Apple iPads. The iPad Air 3 is also said to feature the Apple A9X SoC and 4 GB of RAM with 16 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB storage variants. It reportedly sports an 8 MP iSight camera with new LED flash and 2.1 MP front camera.

The iPad 2 successor is speculated to measure 0.05 mm thicker and 0.1 mm wider. Rumor has it that the iPad Air 3 will have four speakers, an Apple Pencil stylus support and a smaller battery with the same 27.3 watt-hour capacity.

The upcoming iPad Air is expected to come in space gray, gold, silver and possibly rose gold color options.
