IPad Air 3 Specs: Features Detachable Keyboard And Improved Speakers; iOS 10 Expected On Board!

Apple is set to unveil its improved mid-size tablet in the form of the upcoming iPad Air 3. Per rumors, the unit's specs and features are purportedly better than the iPad Pro.

However, analysts believe that there won't be an impressive upgrade on the iPad Air 3 specs as its cousin, the iPad Pro, is the best among the tablets series.

Per rumor mill, the iPad Air 3 will likely to come out with a detachable keyboard made possible by a Smart Connector Port similar to its cousin.

It will also house an enhanced speaker system with four separate units along with a LED flash on the rear camera, Inquistr said.

Reportedly, with the all new improved features underneath, the iPad Air 3 will be thicker and larger than its predecessor. However, it will allegedly keep its iPad Air look.

Based on the leaked photos, Value Walk noted that the device will be 0.55mm thicker and 0.1mm wider than the iPad Air 2.

The iPad Air 3 specs is expected to include Apple's Force Touch 3D technology which debuted on Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s, but this is yet to be confirmed, according to Christian Post.

Also, an A9x chipset, which powers the iPad Pro, is in tow. It is expected to deliver low battery consumption as the iPad Air 2 "boasts of its battery life of roughly 10 hours between charges," Inquistr reported.

As for its release, the Cupertino-based tech company is rumored to hold an event on March 14. Mark Gunman, known as an Apple leakster, said that a 4-inch iPhone, iPad Air 3 and new Apple Watch will be unveiled in the event.

On the software side, Apple's iOS 10 is anticipated to make its debut on the upcoming tablet. The OS is said to be released in June, Christian Post added.

Additionally, opinions on its price surfaced online, and suggested that the base model will hit the market for $578, Latinos Health reported.
