<\/a><\/p>\nProbably the most interesting addition to the iPad Air 2 is TouchID, Apple’s system for unlocking devices with a fingerprint scanner. Touch ID is exclusive to the iPhone 5S at the moment, but it would make sense to see the system be included on tablets like the iPad Air 2 as well. You can see the ringed home button which signifies the inclusion of TouchID in each of these photos.<\/p>\n
Internally, it’s expected that we’ll see an A8 processor<\/a> (to debut in the iPhone 6 before the iPad Air 2) and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera. Screen size and resolution are expected to stay the same, although the\u00a0thickness\u00a0of the screen (and therefore the tablet)\u00a0should be reduced by a small amount.<\/p>\n It’s \u00a0possible that we’ll see an increase in storage space, with the base size moving to 32 GB of internal memory. Apple have seen a decline in iPad sales while their iPhone and Mac lines have continued to grow, so they’ll be looking to shake things up a bit and prompt greater sales of the new model.<\/p>\n They’ll be helped in this aim by the release of iOS 8<\/a>, which\u00a0is already slated to\u00a0include “Continuity” features between Mac 10.10 and iOS, widgets in the notification centre and updates to almost all core iOS apps.<\/p>\n The iPad Air 2 will likely be released in November 2014, at a similar price point to the existing Air, around \u00a3399.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
