Apple to launch 10.8-inch iPad this year, 8.5-inch iPad mini next year, report claims

Apple's got new iPads in the works, and they'll be quite different from the ones currently on the market.

According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (via MacRumors), Apple is preparing to launch a new, 10.8-inch iPad in the second half of 2020, and an 8.5-inch iPad in the first half of 2021.

There are no details on the 10.8-inch device; it may be a larger version of the 10.2-inch iPad, or a successor to the 10.5-inch iPad Air (frankly, given how similar these two are, I'd prefer it if Apple just merged the two product lines into one).

The 8.5-inch device, however, should be the new iPad mini. Kuo spoke about both these iPads back in May, but his report is now slightly refined with more details about the mini (previously, Kuo said the screen size will be 8.5 to 9 inches). Read more...
