The report did not provide any details about the 10th-generation iPad's new design, but rumors suggest the device will feature a larger display with slightly thinner bezels, aUSB-C port, and a flat-edged enclosure with a protruding rear camera The lower-cost iPad is expected to have a Touch ID home button, but recently leaked renders showed the device without a jack.

The lower-cost iPad is rumored to get a faster A14 chip and 5G support. The fourth-generation iPad Air is one of the devices with the A14 chip.

Sources cited in the report said that they are concerned about temporary power restrictions imposed by the Chinese government on factories in China's southwestern Sichuan province. According to the report, power has been cut to industrial users in 19 cities throughout the province until August 20 in order to prioritize residential power supply.

According to the report, a six-day shutdown due to the power cuts would not have an effect on production efficiency in August. Mass production of products could be affected by the power restrictions.

At its September 2021 event, Apple unveiled the ninth-generation iPad along with the iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 7, and sixth- generation iPad mini. It was rumored earlier today that the 10th-generation iPad will be announced at an event in October, so we will have to wait and see.

An A13 Bionic chip, a 12-megapixel front camera, and support for the first- generation Apple Pencil are included in the ninth-generation iPad. The device starts at $329 in the United States and can be had in Space Gray or Silver with 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage.
