Don't expect too much from the next ipad

According to the Japanese website Mac Otakara , if you are waiting for the new generation of the iPad, you should not be too excited, it will be a "minor" update.

Basic but improved iPad

In a few weeks Apple will present the seventh generation of the iPad, however, in the face of the great changes introduced a few months ago in the iPad Pro range, even in the face of the improvement experienced last year when it was made compatible with the Apple Pencil, the changes will be minor.

The seventh generation of the iPad that Apple is planning to launch along with the arrival of the iPad Mini 5, will continue to use the same casing and design as the previous generation, and will maintain both the Touch ID and the headphone jack.

Previous rumors have suggested that the device would have a 10.2-inch screen instead of the traditional 9.7-inch screen, but Mac Otakara , relying on information it would have received from Apple suppliers, casts doubt. between a "10-inch" screen, according to one, while another claims that the screen size has not been changed.

Regardless of the screen size, the tablet is expected to continue to use Touch ID as the authentication method. Thus, for the moment, Face ID will NOT be introduced, as it has happened in the Pro series models.

Apple is expected to present the update of the seventh generation of the iPad and a renewed iPad Mini sometime in the spring, probably at an event scheduled for this March.

Although this event seems to be focused on software and, especially, on the presentation of new services such as the much-rumored Apple Video or a news subscription service on Apple News, the company could renew its smaller iPads through a simple note. press release after the event.
