Apple has long been rumored to update the entry-level iPad this year, with a new model presumably going from Lightning to USB-C, as well as featuring a faster chipset. Today some pretty rough CAD renders of the upcoming device have leaked from a case manufacturer and you can see them below.
Unfortunately these do not clarify the port situation at all, as there is a red mark on the port hole. The renders show a camera island on the back with a sensor and an LED flash, as well as the previous model’s front layout, with the camera on the top bezel and the Touch ID fingerprint sensor built into the Home button in the bottom bezel. Those bezels are still sizable, despite switching to a 10.5 “or 10.9” screen, up from the current 10.2 “.

The new iPad is also rumored to have the A14 chipset on board, the same one that powers the iPhone 12 series, and a newer option than the A13 built into the 2021 version of this tablet. So it looks like a pretty sure year of incremental improvement for Apple’s cheapest tablet, at least if these renders are accurate.

The new device is expected to measure 248.62 x 179.5 x 6.98mm, which means it will be shorter, wider and thinner than the current model. It will likely be unveiled in September alongside the new iPhones or at a possible separate October event. It is expected to launch with the new iPadOS 16 on board, although the update may be delayed for existing iPads.
