New design, lots of memory and big battery. iPad Air 6 Details
Earlier it was reported that Apple is preparing to release iPad 10, iPad mini 7 and iPad Pro 2022 tablets. Now the first information about the model called iPad Air 6 has appeared.
In addition to the expected SoC upgrade, the major changes to the iPad Air 6 include three items: first, a redesigned design compared to the iPad Pro, second, an increase in initial flash storage capacity to 128GB, and third, the addition of a larger battery to provide long work without recharging.
It is not yet known whether this tablet will receive a new screen. Whether it will use a Mini LED or OLED display. But the source is confident that Apple plans to continue setting the iPad Air 6 starting price at $600 in the US.
Apple continues to lead the tablet market in the last two quarters, but due to component shortages, shipments have fallen 3% year-on-year, according to the latest IDC data.

NASA sends an iPad to the moon

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) plans to soon launch a huge lunar rocket Artemis 1.
Recall, as part of the Artemis 1 mission, the first launch of the new monstrous NASA SLS (Space Launch System) launch vehicle is planned, which will send the Orion spacecraft on an unmanned flight around the moon and back. The launch is scheduled for August 29, 2022.
The mission will also conduct an experiment called Callisto, which will demonstrate how consumer technology can integrate with spacecraft in the future. The experiment involves Amazon Alexa and WebEx from Cisco. The goal is to demonstrate how voice commands can improve the lives and work of astronauts in space.
For this purpose, an iPad will be located on the center console of the Orion, on which Cisco’s Webex video conferencing software will be tested to stream content from Mission Control in Johnson. The Alexa voice assistant will also be tested.
