This new iPad (whose design was known through leaks) would already be in production, ensuring that the next Apple event will include the launch of this new version of the tablet that will be cheaper than the traditional one. For this reason, a launch would be placed in September, so it is also feasible that the next Apple Event will take place that month, reported DigiTimes .
The medium indicates that the start of production should already be underway, it also includes some of the aesthetic changes for the iPad. The device would have a new larger screen, 10.5 inches, without getting rid of the rounded edges.
It is mentioned that for this version it would have a USB-C port and flat edges, similar to those of the iPad Pro. It would have a single rear camera, but with a supposed LED flash integrated into the same module. It would have the Touch ID resource on the front, although the same single key and sound system as those known in the new generation iPad Air.
Despite this and the sources cited by the technology medium, they point out that the climate crisis could influence this. This is related to the strong heat waves that occur during the boreal summer of this 2022 in the world, among which are included in the manufacturing regions in China, for which measures are being taken that could cause delays for these launches.
Such is the case of the province of Sichuan, the Chinese government has instructed to promote power cuts to industrial complexes in at least 19 cities of the aforementioned province until August 20, all to prioritize residential electricity supply.
Although the most positive prospects await stoppages of only six daysbut if this is not improved, it could delay production plans at the Foxconn and Compal plants.
So the weather affects even the new gadgets.
