The most affordable iPad is about to get a makeover. At least that’s what emerges from a rumor that points to the arrival of the iPad 9 during today’s Apple event. Of course, it would be a major surprise, as we hope that the keynote is focused on the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7 and AirPods 3.
New iPad 9 with a tune-up
From Chinese social network Weibo, rumor has it that the 9th generation iPad will arrive at today’s event, as a direct successor to the iPad 8. For the web user, the iPad 9 would have the following features:

- A12 Bionic processor, same as the current one.
- 8MP camera.
- Up to 256GB of space, with 128GB being the current maximum.

This development of Apple’s cheapest iPad hardly justifies consuming beautiful seconds in a keynote. Knowing the degree of meticulousness and speed that Apple impresses on its presentations, the same appears for a few seconds that leave it as a collateral novelty for after the keynote. Recall that Gurman ensures that there will be another event in October, focused on Mac and iPad, so we could well see the iPad 9 in a month instead of today.
