Here are a few new features that will reportedly be built into this state-of-the-art tablet:<\/p>\n<p><strong>A8X System on a Chip<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the leaked images posted on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2014\/10\/15\/ipad-air-2-and-ipad-mini-3-with-touch-id-confirmed-show-up-early-in-itunes\/\">9to5Mac<\/a>, the new Apple design reveals a hopped-up A8X processor that&#8217;s built on older A5 and A6 models, with more hardware installed directly on a more muscular CPU. The A8X represents cutting-edge chip design for this new generation of tablets, and it promises an even faster and more agile operation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Design specs also show that 16 GB will be the &#8220;low end&#8221; storage option on the new iPad 2. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2014\/10\/13\/ipad-air-2-a8x-2-gb-ram\/\">MacRumors<\/a> reports that the iPad Air 2 might follow the storage hierarchy of the new iPhone 6 models, offering a 16 GB option, possibly nixing the 32 GB level, and then offering both the 64 GB and 128 GB options at deflated prices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Touch ID Feature and Gold Color Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It also appears that Touch ID technology will be added to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gazelle.com\/ipad?utm_campaign=gazelle_horn&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=gazelle_horn&amp;utm_content=apple-ipad-air-2-design-features-leaked\">the new iPad<\/a> home button. Schematics from 9to5Mac show the addition of the fingerprint scanner that will allow more access control in an age where data privacy is paramount, especially with Apple Pay on the horizon. Another cosmetic change is the color scheme, as the iPad Air 2 will also be offered in gold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Burst Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The new iPads will include &#8220;Burst Mode,&#8221; which will deliver higher speed camera performance, based on the existing strategy pioneered on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gazellethehorn.com\/thehorn\/2013\/09\/16\/should-you-splurge-on-the-iphone-5s-or-save-with-the-iphone-5c\/\">older iPhone 5 models<\/a> of taking multiple pictures in less than a second.<\/p>\n<p>Apple will be officially announcing the new features of the iPad Air 2 this afternoon.
