History
Rumors of a successor to the 2018 iPad surfaced in January 2019, after Apple registered seven iPad models with the Eurasian Economic Commission, whose database is known for providing hints about the company's upcoming devices. One of the models was rumored to be a new entry-level iPad with minor design upgrades from the 2018 model, including a dual-lens rear camera and a 10.2-inch display. BGR said mass production could start in July 2019 for release in the year's third quarter.
