The site claims that Apple is developing four separate models (two each for cellular and Wi-Fi), but it’s unclear what the differentiating factor would be if there are actually two separate models. “iPad Air” models.

Apple produces two versions of the iPad Pro because it comes in two sizes and 9to5Mac He suggests that Apple could release a larger version of the “iPad Air” to match the current 10.9-inch version, or introduce a “more expensive model with better features.”

Considering that the iPad lineup currently includes two “iPad Pro” sizes (low-end “iPad” and iPad mini), a larger or taller “iPad Air” might not make much sense. 9to5Mac He warns that Apple’s plans may change and a second “iPad Air” model may not emerge.

The current model includes the M1 chip, and Apple may wait for the M3 chip to be released for the update, so the launch time of ‌iPad Air‌ may be tied to the launch time of M3. Although the ‌iPad mini‌ is not a tablet that Apple updates regularly, it has not been updated since September 2021.
