The next iPad mini could be delayed til 2015 to differentiate it from the iPhone 6 Plus
Despite KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s usually excellent track record on Apple predictions, he messed up his last prediction that the iPad Air 2 would make its appearance at Apple’s iPhone 6 launch event two weeks ago.
Obviously, that didn’t happen. But if you’re eager for an iPad Air boasting an A8 chip, a new report corroborates a rumor we’ve heard before: it’s coming in October. Don’t wait for an A8 iPad mini though: it’s at least three months away.
According to a report from Chinese-language site Commercial Times citing sources in Apple’s Chinese supply chain, the iPad Air 2 will debut next month, roughly a year after the iPad Air debuted.
