Apple to Launch a New 10.8-inch iPad This Year; 8.5-inch iPad Mini Coming in 2021:Kuo

Jun. 29, 2020



Kuo has not clarified whether the 10.8 inch iPad will be an upgrade to the standard iPad line up or if it will be a new iPad Air.

As it stands right now, Apple’s iPad line up offers a standard 10.2 inch iPad, a larger 10.5 inch iPad Air, and a small 7.9 inch iPad Mini. There’s also the flagship iPad Pro with an 11 inch and 13 inch variant. If the company upgrades the standard iPad to a much larger 10.8 inch screen, it will be bigger than the iPad Air, and encroach upon the iPad Pro’s territory.

Meanwhile, Kuo has also released an investor note predicting that the upcomingiPhone 12 will not pack in EarPods as well as a power adapterin the box. Apparently, the company will sell a 20W adapter separately in order to offset the high cost of the expected 5G modem in the upcoming smartphones.
