The new iPad will have the same design as the current 10.2-inch model, but will feature a faster processor and a thinner and lighter body.

The new iPad will compete with low-priced Android tablets and Chromebooks in the education and emerging markets.

The new iPad will be the first entry-level iPad to support the second-generation Apple Pencil, which attaches magnetically to the side of the device.

The new iPad will likely cost $329, the same as the current model, but may offer more storage options and colors.
