Rumors that Apple is working on at least two more iPad models for 2019 have been doing rounds for a while w. A new leaked document doing rounds of Internet furr corroborates se rumors. leaked document titled “Apple Software Development Resources” which is apparently meant for use by Apple employees, its engineering team, retailers and contractors, suggests Apple is working on two more iPad models, with codenames A2068 and A2198. said iPad models are said to start shipping sometime in October – and Apple may anunce m at its September 10 iPhone 11 event.
Core hardware specifics do t make a mention in leaked document, but it does reveal software side of things. Unsurprisingly, upcoming iPad models will ship with iPadOS 13 out-of--box. leaked document also suggests that while A2068 will be an entry-level iPad, A2198 will be successor to flagship iPad Pro – an iPad that Apple likes to market as a thorough laptop replacement. Chances are A2068 model may be successor to sixth generation base iPad.

An iPad for everyone
Apple anunced 7.9-inch iPad Mini and 10.5-inch iPad Air in March. iPad Mini and iPad Air focus largely on bringing tried and trusted hallmarks of an iPad to an entry-level segment – so more people will possibly be able to use m. Which is also possibly why Apple brought Apple Pencil support to both its new iPad models.
Both models are powered by Apple’s A12 Bionic processor and boast of “up to 10 hours of surfing web on Wi‑Fi, watching video, or listening to music; up to 9 hours of surfing web using cellular data network.” Both models have an 8MP rear camera and a 7MP front camera. Both have dual speakers. Both new iPads keep Apple’s signature True Tone screens as well.

While it’s always interesting to see what Apple does with its budget iPads, it would be particularly interesting to see what Apple does with iPad Pro successor. Apple literally re-made iPad Pro last year with a near edge-to-edge design and Face ID, in addition to updated hardware.
