Leaked images of iPad case points at 12-inch variant

The rumour that an 12-inch iPad will be introduced has been going round for a while. Now, a new leak is pointing at the possibility of this device. French publication Nowhereelse published a set of pictures from a Chinese catalogue that show a protective case that could only fit a 12-inch tablet. There was a comparison image that shows that it really could be for a bigger iPad. The top and bottom of the designs are different from the iPad Air 2 cases, while the rest of the button and camera placements remain the same.

It has been rumoured that the new iPad Air Plus or iPad Pro (as it has been called) will have four speakers (two at the top and two at the bottom), which could explain for the different case design.

iPad Air Plus and iPad mini 4 rumoured for 2015 release

If reports are to be believed, there will be a new bigger iPad and iPad mini replacement coming out next year. Mac Fan claims the iPad Air Plus is reportedly a 12.2-inch tablet running on an Apple A9 processor. It will feature four built-in speakers on each edge of the case so you get stereo sound no matter how you rotate the device. It will be shipping either in April or June of next year.

Meanwhile, the iPad mini 4 will reportedly be the iPad mini and iPad mini 2 replacement and will come with an Apple A8X processor. We have yet to verify how accurate these rumours are so as usual take these with a grain of salt.
