Photos of Apple iPad Air 2 components have surfaced in new leak ahead of its official launch on October 16th. The leaked photos shows TouchID sensor, A8X chip, the front panel, and audio control components of the forthcoming iPad Air 2.
The A8 X chip which is seen in the images was rumored to be in the next version of the iPad Air for quiet some time. Apple utilized the A7 processor in previous iPad Air that was also used in the iPhone 5s. In addition to the A8 chip, the iPad Air 2 will also feature a 2GB RAM as it is expected to boast of split screen display.
The front panel looks similar in design but thinner than before and the Home button cable appears to have room for Touch ID. The home button flex cable has a space for a Touch ID button with a stainless steel ring. The new volume control component is also leaked as the audio volume up and down buttons can be seen on the lower-end of the image. According to earlier rumors the new iPad Air is expected to come in gold color variant.
