iPad Mini 4 Reportedly to Look Like Smaller iPad Air 2

The Japanese blog Macotakara has reported that the upcoming iPad Mini 4 will likely physically resemble a smaller version of the already available iPad Air 2. This and other details about Appleโ€™s supposed next small tablet are claimed by a typically reliable source of news of future Apple products.

It isnโ€™t initially obvious why news about the Mini 4โ€™s visual similarity to the Air 2 should be considered particularly revelatory, given that the current latest version of the iPad Mini also has such a similarity. Nonetheless, citing โ€œthe industryโ€ as its source, the blog calls such a design for the iPad Mini 4 โ€œa high possibilityโ€.

Macotakara does note, however, that the next Mini will have the Air 2โ€™s thickness of 6.1mm, smaller than the 7.5mm of the iPad Mini 3. The report adds that an 8-megapixel front camera will be another feature of the Air 2 brought to the new small tablet, and there is even speculation of a fully-laminated display and anti-reflective coating.
