Another day is upon us and we have yet another leaked set of 3D CAD
files that purportedly show one of Apple’s upcoming hardware products. A
number of reports over the last few weeks have suggested that the
fourth-generation iPad mini will fall in line visually with the current
iPad flagship model, the iPad Air 2. This change would involve in
reduction in thickness from 7.5mm to 6.1mm. The latest 3D CAD files to
make an appearance on the web seem to support that speculation by
showing a device that measures in at just 6.13mm in thickness and looks a
lot like its bigger brother.
A video of the CAD render has made its way online thanks to the @onleaks
Twitter account that comes equipped with a fairly commendable record of
predicting the future of Apple products. It’s also notable that KGI
Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has an equally formidable
prediction record, has recently gone on record as stating that his
company also believes that Apple will bring the next-generation iPad
mini more in line with the iPad Air 2. This progression would extend to
the technical specification of the device as well as the overall
aesthetics and form factor.
There’s no denying that an overhaul of the iPad mini exterior to
match that of the slender iPad Air 2 would be welcomed by potential
consumers. Speculation is also suggesting that Apple has plans to
integrate the same forward-facing 8-megapixel camera that is found in
its current flagship iPad, as well as improving the Retina display with
an anti-glare coating for those who love to read and interact with
content when out and about. Of course, this is all hypothetical and
actually relies on the leaked CAD render being an official Apple
creation.
Additional conjecture pertaining to Apple’s miniature 7.9-inch iPad
suggests that we could welcome it into our lives during the month of
October, based on the three previous generational releases. The device
could potentially come equipped with Apple’s powerful A8 processor,
as well as 2GB of RAM which should give it a significant performance
increase over its predecessor. With a number of different sources all
saying the same thing, it’s pretty much nailed on that the
fourth-generation iPad mini will be one to keep an eye on.
Here’s the CAD render on video!
