Significant Upgrades for Budget iPad Anticipated
Rumored upgrades for the budget iPad, currently retailing at $349 but frequently discounted to $299, could include a 600-nit display – presently exclusive to the 13-inch model – and the introduction of new color options. Furthermore, the budget iPad is expected to incorporate Apple’s in-house N1 chip and C1X modems.
