New rumors claimed that iPad Air 3 release date is delayed in spring of 2016 alongside the equally rumored MacBook Air and Pro 2016.
One of the probable reasons of the delay is due to iPad Pro, which is set to hit the market in November. iPad Pro is posed as Apple's most powerful tablet yet and, not to mention, the most expensive.
Apple thinks that iPad Air 3 as well as MacBook Air and Pro will cannibalize the sales of the new iPad Pro since the two tablets are closer in size. Moreover, there could be problems in terms of supply if suppliers are working on three tablets.
If rumors proved to be true, iPad Air 3 release date will most likely be in March 2016 reprising the former release date window of the iPad years back. The 9.7-inch tablet may be joined by the new generation of MacBook devices.
Meanwhile, iPad Air 3 features reportedly include a stunning 4K screen display and an IP rating making it resistant to dust and water. According to Tech News Today, iPad Air 3 will pack a 9.7 inch screen panel with 4096 x 2160 pixels. The screen will also have 401 ppi and 4:3 aspect ratio. The tablet is also water and dust resistant allowing it to repel dust and moisture that may break the tablet.
Other rumored iPad Air 3 features are: A9X processor, iOS 9, 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB variants, and 8 MP iSight camera at the back and 2.1 MP front-facing camera.
Apple is yet to confirm the aforementioned rumors and consumers must sit and wait.
