There are rumors that Apple iPad Air 3 release may happen in January 2016, at the earliest.

Apple iPad Air 3 was earlier expected to release in 2015 but due to the release of iPad Pro, it was postponed, according to BGR. Apparently the tech giant wanted to give a level playing field for iPad Pro and focus solely on its sales therefore other iPad devices such as Apple iPad Air 3 and iPad Mini 4 were not released with it.
