CAD image revealed, claims to be a 10th-generation iPad
MySmartPrice reveals CAD images claiming to be from case makers Reveals the overall design of the machine that is used in a square shape. There are speakers on the clear, convex rear camera, the screen has quite thick edges. And there is also a home button at the bottom of the screen.
Previously, there were rumors that the new entry-level iPad will have a rectangular design like other models, bigger screen, USB-C port, A14 chip, and support for 5G.
iPad mini, iPad Air has been adjusted to a full-screen design without a home button. But interestingly, the iPad mini, iPad Air do not have a home button, but instead use a finger scan on the power button, so it is quite strange that the CAD image of the 10th generation iPad still has the same home button.
But there is a possibility in terms of price. Because with the 10th-generation iPad being the cheapest entry-level iPad model, a change in design could increase the price of the device. And if switching to Touch ID on the Power button may increase the price even more.
MySmartPrice reveals that the rear camera of the 10th generation iPad will still be the same as before, but will have an LED flash and a microphone hole added.
The 10th generation iPad in this CAD image is 248.62 mm tall, 179.50 mm wide, and 6.98 mm thick, making the 10th generation iPad wider, but thinner than the 9th generation iPad.
As for the release, it’s possible that Apple may launch the 10th-generation iPad alongside the iPad Pro M2 chip in October, with one known clue being the postponement of the iPadOS 16 update at Mark. Gurman revealed that the update will be delayed in October, possibly during the new iPad launch.
