Base iPad model rumoured to get USB-C, larger display

The base Apple iPad model might finally get a tech upgrade. Rumours claim its next iteration will switch from having a Lightning port to USB-C when it launches in the fall. This will allow you to plug it directly into supported monitors and other peripherals and improve wired data transfer speeds. If the reports are accurate, there will no longer be an iPad with a Lightning port, which would be a welcome refresh.

Aside from this, the iPad will reportedly get a larger display with the exact resolution as the iPad Air. Of course, the image quality won't be the same, but if you've just been looking for a larger screen, here's an option to consider. This iPad will supposedly have the fourth-generation Air's A14 Bionic processor and 5G support for the cellular variants. It's unclear if the design will change or if it gets support for the Magic Keyboard or second-generation Pencil.
