It's expected to inherit the design of the 2019 iPad Air.

Honestly, what’s the point of updating the iPad 8 to the iPad 9 this year, if all they’re going to do is provide minimal upgrades?

Unless if they can provide decent and noticeable upgrades to make it worth it, they should just skip this year. Here’s the specs I hope they release in the next entry level:

1) Laminated display
2) 64GB base storage space
3) Front camera being 5MP at 1080p @30 or 60FPS & 720p @ 120fps
4) 10,500mah battery instead of 8827mah, potentially getting 12 hrs of battery life instead of 10
5) Screen being 10.5 inch
6) A14 or A12Z chipset

PS. 8MP back camera is fine for now, though in a few years, they should definitely update it.

        The I pad 2021 only need a laminated display and 4/64 of storage. If the price will increase 1k or 2k or even 3,4,5k its doesn't matter because it's worth it and I am gonna purchase it.
