New Photos Claim to Show Purported Rear Shell of iPad Air 2Taiwan-based accessory maker Yi Lin Enterprises has
posted new photos on Weibo showing the purported rear shell of Apple's iPad Air 2 (
Google Translate, via
Mac Otakara). The images show off a gold housing with a number of design changes, including a new speaker grille with larger holes and a relocated rear microphone alongside the iSight camera.
Last month, an alleged
"perfect replica" of the iPad Air 2 surfaced, showing off a Touch ID home button for the device and recessed volume buttons along with the same refined speaker grille. The prototype followed the leak of a
supposed front panel from the iPad Air 2 this past April, which showed an integrated display that may hint at a thinner form factor for the tablet.
Apple's iPad Air 2 is expected to launch alongside the
iPad mini 3 later this year, and is expected to include a faster A8 processor in addition to the aforementioned Touch ID fingerprint sensor and refined physical features.
Rumors have also
suggested that Apple is working on a larger, 12.9-inch iPad Pro, however recent reports have indicated that plans for the tablet
may be on hold for the foreseeable future.
