New iPad Air and iPad 11 edge closer to launch – here’s when to expect them

• Apple could be about to launch a new iPad Air and 11th-generation iPad
• The company’s suppliers have apparently sent units to Apple
• A spring launch (sometime between March and April) now looks likely

Apple’s iPads are some of the best tablets money can buy, with the company’s iPad Air and 10.9-inch iPad offering good mid-range and entry-level options, respectively. If you’re in the market for one of these tablets, now could be the time to hang on just a little longer, as it looks like they’re both on the verge of being refreshed.

That idea comes from a paywalled article published by Taiwanese outlet DigiTimes (via MacRumors), which says that Apple’s suppliers began shipments of a new iPad Air and an 11th-generation iPad in December. That suggests that Apple is almost ready to start selling the devices to customers.
