Apple iPad Air 3 release date, price and specs rumors: Tablet to come out in October, cheaper than iPad Pro

People have been waiting for concrete details with regard to the development and release of the next generation iPad Air. The tablet has been rumored to come out in September along with other Apple devices. Although solid information about the device is rare, there are reports that certainly get Apple fanatics on their heels. According to the latest buzz, the new iPad Air 3 may carry a digital crown quite similar to that of the current Apple Watch.

In a report by Macworld UK, the upcoming tablet may arrive in October, which is just a month from the rumored September Apple event. Previous reports suggested that the device will come with the highly anticipated Apple iPhone 7 during the event; however, it is speculated that Apple will launch the 9.7-inch and 12.9inch iPad Pros instead. If rumors prove to be true, Consumers may most likely have to wait until the following month for the new iPad Air model.

Many fans were disappointed when Apple decided to skip the new iPad Air during the recently concluded WWDC 2016.

Rumor has it that the Cupertino-based company is planning to put a mechanical input like the current Apple Watch. The device, which will be slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, is said to carry a digital crown. Although nothing has been set in stone yet, many people believe that Apple is going to make major changes in terms of the new iPad Air 3 design.

Meanwhile, according to a report by PC Advisor, the iPad Air is expected to be available this year with an opening price of £399 or $523. The tablet is definitely a good alternative for consumers who do not want to spend £499 or $655 for a new iPad Pro.

As of the moment, fans will have to wait for Apple to officially announce the upcoming tablet. Until then, all rumors and speculations must be taken with a grain of salt.
