According to new schematics leaked by French site nowhereelse.fr (via MacRumors) the next-generation iPad Air may be highlighted by a four-speaker setup like the iPad Pro along with a rear-facing camera flash. NowhereElse could not however confirm with 100% certainty that the design drawing is legit, but it is easy to believe that Apple would incorporate the same speaker design as the iPad Pro after all the positive reviews the 12-inch tablet has received for its audio.

Stay connected to Bitbag for more details about iPad Air 3. The tablet may include RAM in the range of 2 GB to 4 GB. In addition, an early 2016 launch for the new iPad Air will be the first for Apple. The iPad Air 3 is expected to feature IP rating for water and dust resistance. We’re still not convinced this is anything more than a rumor, though. The move to unwrap a new iPad Mini during September is somewhat surprising given that the original iPad Mini and all its current versions were all launched at October Apple events.

DigiTimes cited anonymous “industry sources”, who link the decision to declining sales in the tablet market that have seen component manufacturers seek contracts in other sectors. This feature was seen in iPad Pro.
