Apple's new Pad Air 4 (2020) may be on the way soon, according to Bloomberg tech reporter Mark Gurman, who said marketing materials for the tablet have been circulating to retailers, suggesting it is being prepared for sale

Apple announced the iPad Air 4 in September and said the new tablet would be available in October Cupertino did not mention a release date for the new iPad Air, but it is expected to appear in October

As of now, the iPad Air 4 is listed on Apple's website The store page details a starting price of $599, along with 64GB and 128GB storage options and five color options However, there is no mention of a release date" It only says "October release

This is not the most unusual behavior from Apple However, the company typically announces a specific release date when a new product is unveiled at a keynote

For those eager to get their hands on the new iPad Air, this ambiguity may be rather frustrating However, if Gurman's prediction is correct, it seems that iPad fans will not have to wait much longer for the redesigned tablet

Speaking of design, Apple has finally moved away from the archaic design of the iPad Air and modeled the iPad Pro The home button has been eliminated and the Touch ID scanner has been integrated into a side-mounted power button Indeed, it is now a more modern tablet

On the back, there is a single camera module, rather than the triple camera array with LiDAR sensor of the latest iPad Pro But make no mistake, this camera setup is overkill for a tablet

One new feature is that the iPad Air 4 can now work with Apple's Magic Keyboard This and the improvements in iPadOS 14 will allow the 109-inch tablet to be used like a hybrid laptop, especially since it can take advantage of the power of the A14 Bionic chip However, the iPadOS still has some limitations and will not immediately replace the MacBook Air or Windows 10 ultraportables
