APPLE - New iPad: all that will change on October 16

TABLET - For the keynote of October, Apple is expected to introduce the new generation of its iPad. MetroNews reviewed the latest of these tablets.  After the smartphone, the tablet. After the iPhone, the iPad. About a month after introducing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus (remember, it was on September 9), Apple should take in the month a new keynote. The date of Thursday, October 16 has been advanced but not yet official. Anyway, it should be less impressive than the last. Apple has also provided a keynote in a less broad place: Town Hall Auditorium in Cupertino (California). Meanwhile, here's what should change in the new iPad: 

► What name? 

6 iPad or iPad 2 Air? No one knows yet for now the final name of the new iPad. Whatever it is, one thing is certain: it will be for Apple to the sixth generation of the iPad and the third for the iPad mini. 

► A new chip 

Like every year, after the integration of a new processor in the smartphone, it is added to the latest generation iPad. The house A8 processor, integrated into the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, should be announced as the new nerve center of the new Apple tablet. Unless this is a model boosted, called A8X, which would be installed on a brand new version Large, iPad Pro (see below "Two sizes, two screens?"). 

► The Touch ID 

Type the code is so old generation ... Like the iPhone 5s and the last two smartphones Cupertino, it will now show their credentials to unlock the machine. The new tablets are expected to be in effect with the Touch ID button that identifies the footprints of his or its owners (up 5 fingers). 

► A screen with anti-glare filter? 

Nothing certain but here it was mentioned the possibility of adding an antiglare screen on the tablet. A very good idea that would use the iPad even in bright conditions. Moreover, it will be a real comfort to watch videos and movies. 

► New Color 

To comply with the trio of the iPhone, the iPad should be submitted either in two but three colors. Gold entered. We must therefore rely this year on the sidereal gray version (with black face), silver (with white face) and, for the first time, gold (with white face). 

► Two sizes, two screens? 

And if Apple offered two models of its iPad Air? In addition to the 9.7-inch version (and the iPad mini with a screen of 7.9 inches) for the Apple brand could launch a new model bigger. This would measure 12.9 inch (32.8 cm) from one edge to the other and would be called "iPad Pro" or "6 iPad Plus". In addition, this new model would be available in two screen resolutions: 2K and 4K (that is to say four times HD resolution). However, there is nothing to confirm this rumor. 

► From WiFi boosted 

As with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, we hope that Apple will have thought about giving a boost to the WiFi iPad, thanks to the 802.11ac standard. 

► No new Retina iPad mini? 

At least not right away. From a strategic point of view, this is understandable. Due to the size close between an iPhone 6 Plus (5.5 inches) and a retina iPad mini (7.9 inches), Apple could decide to delay the release of the new model of this device early next year (March 2015?). So as not to overshadow his phablette.
