If Apple does update the iPad mini, expect it to stay more or less in line with the iPad Air. But that said, there has also been a surprising dearth of reports on what's in the works. It'd be surprising not to see an updated iPad mini, given that Apple has a habit of refreshing its major product lines each year. We also know that Apple is working on letting the iPad do split-screen multitasking - we just don't know if it's finished yet.ĭon't expect major changes to either iPad A new iPad mini Some long shots? Apple is supposed to be working on a huge, 12.9-inch iPad, but it's not supposed to be ready until next year. You can also expect all of the regular tune-ups on the inside: a faster processor (likely a version of the new A8 that's in the iPhone 6), and potentially more RAM or lower prices for additional storage. Otherwise, expect pretty much the same iPad Air you already know, with at most some subtle design changes.

It's also been reported that the new iPad will have an anti-reflective coating on its screen, which could make seeing it much easier in daylight. Right now, the iPad Air comes in white and black, but this new one is expected to also offer a gold color option. It also looks like the tablet will be called the iPad Air 2. In fact, a Touch ID sensor is all but confirmed thanks to a small slip up by Apple. This would be the first time that Touch ID has shown up on a tablet, and it'll be a helpful addition as more and more apps begin to take advantage of it. The biggest addition is believed to be a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. A new iPad Air is coming, but don't expect dramatic changes. There's no doubt that this is on Apple's agenda.
