iPad AirPlus

iPad Air Plus is the name we hear for the first time for the future tablet of the Apple company, those from Cupertino preparing to bring to the market a tablet with a 12.2 inch screen at the beginning of next year. Until then, however, we see a sketch that reveals the dimensions iPad AirPlus, the sketch being obtained by an Asian publication directly from a partner who seems to be testing prototypes of the tablet in view of the launch prepared by the Americans.

iPad Air Plus has an A9 chip and a 12.2-inch iPad Air Plus screen

iPad Air Plus will be 305.31 mm high and 220.8 mm wide, with a thickness of only 7 mm, and it will work based on an A9 chip, which is an improved version of the A8X chip used in iPad Air 2. iPad Air Plus will it had a series of speakers located on each edge of the case to play audio content in a stereo system even when the product is rotated, so theoretically we should have an extremely interesting user experience. The new tablet is ready for release between April and June 2015, but this timeframe seems unlikely at the moment.

Japanese magazine "Mac Fan January 2015" which is going to be published in 28th Nov 2014 leaks a full-scale blue print of 12.2 inch LCD tablet iPad Air Plus. According to Mac Fan's report, iPad Air Plus will be 305.31 x 220.8 x 7mm in size, and be powered with A9 processor, and be shipped between April to June 2015. And, iPad Air Plus will have four built in speakers on each edge of case, in order to play stereo sound, even if the iPad is rotated.

The iPad Mini 4 will replace the iPad Mini 3

This year the iPad Mini 3 came on the market as a replacement for the iPad Mini 2, but the only novelty brought was a Touch ID system for securing the product using a fingerprint, so that next year Apple is preparing the iPad Mini 4. The new tablet will include a A8X chip from the iPad Air 2 and probably this is where the news will stop, but the interesting part is that the iPad Mini 3 will be removed from Apple's offer to make room for the new product.

Mac Fan tells about iPad mini 4 also. They told that this new small iPad will be powered with A8X processor and be the same design as iPad Air 2. Pad mini and iPad mini 3 will be removed from Apple's line-up.

This information about iPad Air Plus and iPad Mini 4 come from a source with numerous valid details published in the past about unreleased Apple products, so there is a high chance that everything we see now is 100% real.
