The iPad also loses the headphone jack

The iPad 10 from Apple, the next entry level tablet of the Cupertino house's offer, could be devoid of the 3.5 mm jack. To anticipate it are a series of renderings that show the design of the new generation of Apple's basic tablet, which should at the same time also evolve in terms of construction. According to the images, the famous flat edges that have long characterized the premium devices in the Apple catalog - from the most powerful iPads to the recent new generation iPhones - seem to be confirmed. Another good news is the presence on board of the physical button placed in the lower edge with the fingerprint scanning technology via TouchId.



To anticipate how the new iPad 10 will appear was the My Smart Price portal with a series of renderings made in Cad that show the three-dimensional lines of the next model expected in the catalog. The flat edges reflect the same style of the second generation iPad Pro seen four years ago and also re-proposed on the last two iPhone families, while the rear camera seems slightly raised. The entrance on the lower edge is for now a mystery: since it has been censored in the images, it is not yet clear whether it will be of the proprietary type lightning or usb type c. Looking closely at the various angles, every trace of the 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones or other audio devices appears absent.



In terms of data sheet iPad 10 should be governed by the same chip as iPhone 12 or the proprietary Apple A14 Bionic processor with a lot of 5G connectivity for the version with cellular connectivity. In addition, compatibility with the Apple Pencil 2 stylus could also be confirmed, while the measurements should be 248.62 x 179.50 x 6.98 mm: wider but at the same time thinner than the ninth generation gadget. Therefore, all that remains is to wait for further advances, even if it seems very difficult that iPad 10 will be part of the troop of devices expected for the September presentation with the iPhone 14 as protagonists; more likely it will be made official later, by the end of the year.
