One of the bigger rumors surrounding the upcoming iPad Mini 4 is that it would, essentially, be a miniature version of the iPad Air 2, considering their similar specifications.

There’s already a lot of speculation about Apple shaking up its tablet lineup this year with some even saying that it will skip an update for the iPad Air 2 to focus the spotlight on an all new iPad Pro. Other rumors say that Apple is actually focusing more on the iPad Pro device and this is the reason why they are delaying the release date of the iPad Air 3.
As if that won’t be enough, Apple is also set to release two new iPhones in September. Apple previously released iPad mini tablets in storage variants of 16GB and 32GB. The device is said to be powered by an A8 chip, 2GB Ram and will have an 8 megapixel iSight camera on board. For this reason, some have speculated that Apple may revamp the prices of its next batch of devices in an attempt to lure back customers.
It will reportedly employ the laminated anti-reflective display of the Air 2. “Compared to [the] iPad Air, the height and width of [the] iPad Air 2 are the same and the thickness is 6.1mm”.
According to Tech Radar, sales of iPad Mini products have been in the decline and Apple has been concentrating on its larger products as of late. The report said that the company will likely release iPad Mini 4, including the iterations of iPad Air and iPad Pro, this coming October. It is expected to cost £299 or $463 while the iPad mini 3 is now at £319 or $494.
Supposedly the display of the iPad Air 3 could be anywhere from 7-9.7mm. The upcoming Apple iPad Air 3 will also support 4G LTE data connection and if rumors prove to be right, it will be equipped with an USB Type-C connector and Force Touch Technology and Taptic Engine Technology.
