Apple fans are excited because of the recent rumors that the company will introduce the iPad Air 3 in a media event scheduled in March 2016.

A leaked image of the iPad Air 3 shows that the upcoming tablet will look like a smaller version of the iPad Pro, and it will be a great device for consuming content. The tablet will have quad-speakers with stereo audio output in portrait and landscape orientations, the report details.

The next iPad Air will also be slimmer and sleeker compared to its predecessor. This improvement will allow users to carry the device much more easily and play games and read content in a more comfortable manner, Neurogadget explains.

Another rumor says the iPad Air 3 will come with a smart connector for its own Smart Keyboard case. Its touchscreen display will also be compatible with the Apple Pencil. The new Apple tablet is set to compete with Microsoft's Windows 10-powered Surface 3 tablet, the report relays.

In addition, the iPad Air 3 is rumored to come with a rear-LED flash to improve photos and videos taken in low-light environments. The tablet will reportedly be powered with an A-series processor, such as the A9X used in the iPad Pro.

Apple is expected to announce the iPad Air 2 on Mar. 15 and the device will reportedly be available for purchase by the end of that month. It is expected to come with a base price tag of $499, but users who want to add a physical keyboard and the Apple Pencil to the tablet will have to shell out an extra $169 and $99, respectively.
