Another alleged schematic for the iPad Air 3 has been leaked online by Engadget.

Last week, we saw the first diagram of the rumored iPad Air 3 which revealed a rear facing LED flash and the presence of four integrated speakers at the top and bottom of the device. Just yesterday, an alleged iPad Air 3 case corroborated those features and hinted at a Smart Connector.

Engadget's schematic has all three of those features put reveals that the new tablet will be about 0.05mm thicker and 0.1 mm wider.

Well, today we received an image that's allegedly a simple dimensional drawing of the aforementioned tablet. While we'd usually dismiss such leaks, we're siding with our reliable source on this one. Unsurprisingly, the next iPad will apparently pack a couple of features introduced by the iPad Pro: quad speakers for some nice audio boost, and a Smart Connector on the side for its very own "smart" accessories. This goes well with the earlier Pencil support rumor. What does surprise us is the extra hole below the camera, which suggests the iPad will finally be getting an LED flash. Hooray for tablet photographers!

Apple is rumored to be unveiling the iPad Air 3 at an event in March. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates and check out the image below...
