Larger display
Apple would likely retain the flat-edged design form factor of the iPad Air from 2020. However, the maximum screen size is expected to go up from 10.9-inch on the current generation to 12.9-inch on the upcoming model.
According to news reports, Apple would introduce the iPad Air 2024 in a 12.9-inch screen variant. If true, this will be the first time that the iPad Air will have options for display sizes. Much like the 10.9-inch iPad Air, the 12.9-inch variant would likely feature the LCD panel.

Redesigned camera bump
The next-generation iPad Air models are expected to get a raised camera bump at the rear. The new camera bump would likely incorporate the camera sensor and an LED flash in a vertically-oriented design. This would mark the first time that the iPad Air features a camera flash.
Other upgrades
Other notable features that are expected on the upcoming iPad Air includes Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support for connectivity. Apple would likely introduce new colour options for the iPad Air models as well.
