More rumours have hit the Web regarding the upcoming iPad Air 3 tablet. The device is now being said to feature a 4K resolution display along with 4GB of RAM.
According to a report from Digitimes, the iPad Air 3 will also sport a bigger battery than its predecessor, which is understandable given the high resolution display. The report cites Taiwan-based supply chain makers.
Also mentioned is that the tablet will feature a 9.7-inch screen size and will be backed by a bigger battery. Corroborating previous claims, the report added the tablet models will be unveiled in March this year.
The iPad Air 3's display will reportedly be made by General Interface Solution (GIS) with TPK Holding supplying the touch panels. The report claims that GIS will be manufacturing the LCD modules, touch panels, and 'backlighting products'. The tablet is said to arrive without the company's iconic 3D Touch feature, once again confirming the previous claims.
The supply chain makers predict a slight on-year increase for the touch panel demand by Apple in the first half of 2016 due to the increase in order of products featuring the 3D Touch feature.
It is worth mentioning that the tablet is said to launch alongside the 4-inch iPhone 5se smartphone and Apple Watch 2. Previous reports suggest the upcoming 4-inch iPhone will have the same hardware specifications as the iPhone 5s but with a curved glass design seen in iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. it is said to be powered by A8 SoC and M8 motion coprocessor. Other features tipped around the iPhone 5se include an 8-megapixel iSight (rear camera), and a 1.2-megapixel FaceTime (front-facing camera).
