New 10.8-inch iPad Air Will Purportedly Feature USB-C Port Instead of Lightning

Apple is planning to release a next generation 10.8-inch iPad Air with a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port, according to Macotakara. However, the site says the new iPad mini will stick with Lightning.

Chinese supplier says iPad Air (4th generation) will have a specification with USB-C connector while iPad mini 8.5-inch will have lightning connector. As iPad Air (3rd generation) was developed based on iPad Pro (10.5-inch), iPad Air (4th generation) may be developed based on iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) by downgrading the rear camera features.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the 10.8-inch iPad Air will arrive in the second half of 2020; whereas, a new iPad mini with an 8.5 to 9-inch display will be launched in 1H21.
