Youth Health Magazine shares that rumours are starting to point at a March launch for the iPad Air 3 alongside the heavily rumoured 4-inch iPhone which is also said to be released in the same period.
All of this would be thankfully received by fans of the iPad Air, so it’s a case of fingers crossed at this stage.
Reports suggested that the iPad Air 3 was still under development in November 2015 but according to the latest rumors, the device could be released by March 2016.
However, we’re taking this one with a huge grain of salt, as we simply can’t see Apple making the iPad Air 3’s resolution better than the iPad Pro’s, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed at least.
The iPad Air 2 sports a 9.7-inch Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels.
The third generation of the iPad Air, which is expected to be released early this year, is rumored to have several exciting new features. The iPad Air 2, which unveiled in late 2014 alongside the iPad Mini 3, is well overdue for an update.
Previously, it was rumored that Apple will be launching its next smartwatch iteration during a March event. Gurman also notes that Apple is now testing various displays with Apple Pencil support for the iPad Air 3.
The iPad Air 3 is also tipped to come with a quad-speaker design and a rear-facing flash for the camera.
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. However, its iPad sales declined 25% and gave a weak guidance for its iPhones sales, which disappointed investors.

iPad sales slid again in the last quarter, despite the debut of the iPad Pro. Not many, we hope, use the iPad Air for photography, therefore eliminating the need for a flash.
