Leaked photos hint at razor-thin iPad Air 2

 

 

Just when Apple fans thought the iPad tablet couldn't get any slimmer, a new set of photos leaked online indicate otherwise.

 

Tech site Mashable said the images were of a prototype iPad Air 2 just 7 mm thin, even slimmer than the 7.5 mm of its predecessor.

 

Citing images from Vietnamese tech blog Tinhte.vn, Mashable said the upcoming iPad appears to include Touch ID and a fingerprint sensor.

 

It added the 7-mm thickness makes the iPad nearly as svelte as the recently released iPhone 6 (6.9 mm) and 6 Plus (7.1 mm).

 

"Apple is rumored to hold an iPad event on Oct. 16, so it looks like we won't have to wait long for the company's official word on the matter," Mashable added. — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
