Apple Leaks iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3

     Apple has made an uncharacteristic mistake prior to the press event later today and has accidentally revealed both of the new iPads it plans to release. Apparently an offical user guide for iOS 8 in the iTunes Store had screenshots that were updated ahead of schedule; both new iPads are pictured and plenty is revealed. From the looks of it both iPads will come with Touch ID fingerprint sensor, vbut other than that it does seem that these products will look identical to their past counterparts.

     Although we will not have the specs on these devices til later in the day, we expect that Apple will greatly improve the performance of each iPad with a more powerful A8X processor and an updated chipset. However, it is not yet clear if both iPads will match each other spec for spec. Their is some information in the user guide which suggests that burst photography mode will be on the iPad Air 2 but no mention of the mini 3 having this feature.

Either way if you were hoping for a major overhaul with design changes it seems you will be disappointed this year.  We are excited to hear what Apple has to say about these products later in the day and of course are hoping for some real improvements to the software and speeds of the iPad. In addition in a funny coincidence that this Apple leak came on the same day that Google announced its brand new tablet in the Nexus 9. Competition continues in the world of tablets!
