The Cupertino-based company is currently planning to hold its keynote in the month of March, but the final dates are not yet confirmed. Here are all the latest rumored features about the new iPad Air 3, from design and new features to dimensions, specs, launch date, and price. Read on to know more.

A Thinner Design

In terms of design, there are no much rumors about the iPad Air 3 design, but it is expected that is something Apple keep close to its chest. However, there won't be many changes in the design department. It is likely that Apple will keep the same size and may trim down a little bit more to make it thinner.

4K Display

The iPad Air 3 is likely to have a 9.7 inch display with some improvements on its predecessor. A couple of rumor hints that the display to have a 4K resolution of 2334x3112. This sounds a bit far from the current iPad Air 2 with 1536x2048 pixel resolution.

Storage

Storage Apple iPad Air 2 got rid of the 32GB option and offered 64GB for the same price, but the 16GB model is still available. We expect Apple to come with 32GB option instead of 16GB model.

Slow Motion Video

Apple has not really done with slow motion video feature on the iPad Air 2. There is an option but capped at 120fps, while the iPhone 6 can reach 240fps. So we expect the iPad Air 3 to have a twice the frames and twice the smoothness.

Better Battery Life

The iPad Air 2 battery life is quite good, providing up to 10 hours of web browsing and video playback. Still for the avid gamer, the battery is quite disappointing. We expect that the iPad Air 3 will get a battery boost.

No 3D Touch for Apple iPad Air 3!

The 3D Touch, a pressure sensitive display on the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, will not make its appearance in the next iPad.

Powered By A9 CPU

According to rumors, the iPad Air 3 will get the latest and powerful A9 or an A9X chipset inside paired with 3GB RAM for blazing and flawless experience and will run on iOS 9. The A9 processor will be much more efficient than the A8 processor, which was found in the iPad Air 2.

8MP Camera iSight

According to Cult of Mac, the iPad Air 3 will have an 8 megapixel rear facing iSight camera and a 2.1 megapixel front-facing FaceTime camera.

Face Recognition

Face recognition is already available in the Camera app, but it is only for recognizing and organizing photos. It does also seem a bit unnecessary, given that Apple has the Touch ID technology. If it wants to do convenient, biometric authentication it can use that. However, chances of happening are very low.

Split-Screen Multitasking

With the 2GB or 3GB of RAM, the iPad Air could allow for split-screen multitasking. According to few reports, the memory boost could hint at a split-screen multitasking feature exclusive to the new tablet, which might require more RAM in order to run smoothly.
