Apple to launch a bigger iPad Air with Pro backplane in early 2024: Report

The upcoming iPad Air lineup will likely feature a larger 12.9-inch display panel, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. He said the rumoured 2024 iPad Air models will sport an LCD screen lacking the mini-LED technology of current-gen iPad Pro models.

In his latest report, Kuo said that Apple will update all existing models next year, starting with a refreshed 10.9-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Air in the first quarter of 2024. He also reported that the LCD screen on the upcoming iPad Air models will feature the same Oxide backplane as the current generation iPad Pro model. This will likely improve the display performance compared to the current 10.9-inch iPad Air.
