There are speculations that the new iPad Air will be released at a very affordable price of $578.

The iPad Air 3 has been noticeably absent for a while now, but that may soon be set to change. 2GB of memory allows the iPad to perform admirably even if there are tons of apps open in the background.

Unfortunately, the same report also indicates the model will forgo 3D Touch, despite its popularity on the new devices, and will be about the size of its predecessor, the iPad Air 2. According to rumors, leaked images of cases for the Air 3 suggest that the design is somewhat similar to the iPad Pro and Air 2; it also looked similar to the Air 2.

According to sources with knowledge of Apple’s inner workings, the iPad Air 3 will be equipped with a Smart Connector port, similar to the one already used in the iPad Pro, ValueWalk reported.

Critics also believe that it will run on iOS 9 (version 9.3) operating system, and they predict that it will be able to run on iOS 10, which is expected to be unveiled in June and will be released at the same time as the iPhone 7 in September.

While the iPad Air 2 is a great buy, it actually might be best if you waited just a bit longer, as the iPad Air 3 release is just around the corner, and it’s safe to say that it will be a generous upgrade over the iPad Air 2.

To the disappointment of some fans, rumors claim that the tablet does not support 3D touch.

Apple upgraded the iPad Air 2 camera.

Official blog of iPad Air 3 states that the device will come at a minimum price of $610. The 16GB variant of the iPad Air 2 can be bought starting at $499.
