In the lead-up to an expected Apple hardware event in March, a case from third-party accessory maker Speck popped up at Target sporting compatibility with a new 11-inch iPad model rumored to launch this spring.
A photo of the case, a version of Speck’s Balance Folio line, was posted to Reddit on Tuesday and seemingly indicates Apple will launch a new 11-inch iPad for 2021. In addition to the new iPad, the case can also be used with Apple’s 2020 iPad Air, which boasts a 10.9-inch display and iPad Pro styling, and 2020 11-inch iPad Pro.Notably, the case denotes a 2021 “iPad” and not “iPad Pro,” the latter of which is the only Apple tablet with an official 11-inch screen specification. The current iPad sports a 10.2-inch display, though analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted Apple would introduce a 10.8-inch model last year. More recent reports conflict with Kuo’s assessment, saying the entry level device will retain a 10.2-inch screen while integrating a slimmer chassis.
