Here’s The Latest “ Blockbuster Exclusive” Leak On The iPad Air 2

Writing for The Michael Report, Michael Andrews has published a self-proclaimed “blockbuster exclusive” on Apple’s next generation iPad Air 2:

Here are some of the key highlights from the report:

• Display – The display will reportedly come with a fully-laminated by manufacturing the cover glass and Retina LCD as a single unit making the device thinner than the current iPad Air. The display quality is also expected to improve.

• Design –  the iPad Air 2 is around 0.5 mm thinner than the current iPad Air. The speakers on the new iPad Airs will have a single row grill instead of the current two. The mute/vibration switch is removed, according to the report to provide a thinner profile.

• The volume controls in the new iPad Airs are also slightly more recessed than the one on the current iPad Airs.

• Apple will debut a gold colored version of the iPad Air 2, in addition to the current options of Black and Silver.

• Internals – The iPad Air 2 will come with an upgraded A8 chip manufactured by TMSC and a 1GB bump in RAM, to 2GB.

• Touch ID and Apple Pay – These are expected to make an appearance on the iPad Air 2.

The above are not what I would call “blockbuster exclusive,” but you have to get those page views up somehow I guess.

Apple is widely expected to unveil the next generation iPads at a special event on October 16.
