iPad Air 3 release will reportedly happen in March 2016 showcasing incredible specs such as 4K screen display and A9X processor.
Despite the lack of confirmation from Apple itself, rumors claimed that iPad Air 3 release is slated in March next year, reclaiming the iPad line's original release window. It is also rumored that the new generation of Apple's tablet will be released alongside new MacBooks.
However, this should be taken as a grain of salt as Apple has not announced anything yet about the new iPad.
Meanwhile, International Business Times alleged that the upcoming iPad Air 3 will be thinner than its predecessor. It will boast the same 9.7 inch screen display, but with 4K resolution. Under the hood, the tablet is reported to be powered by the A9X processor paired with 3GB or 4GB of RAM.
Other top of the line specs purported to be included in the anticipated iPad Air 3 are 3D Touch technology and water and dust resistance.
Despite its high caliber specs, iPad Air 3 is reported to be available in a pocket-friendly price starting at $610, which is way cheaper than the current iPad Pro.
Apple ordered 2.5 million units of the tablet for the fourth quarter. This is lower compared to the 14.1 million sold iPad units in the fourth quarter of 2013 and the 12.3 million sold iPad units in the fourth quarter of last year. Apple reportedly ordered even lower number of units of iPad Pro for the first quarter of 2016.
This shows that Apple is still testing the waters with the new iPad Pro. The company is probably studying how the consumers will respond to iPad Pro before replacing the iPad Air line.
