hey guys john here with TLD hope you guys are doing well I am back with a very exciting videos we now have a closer look and sneak peek of what to expect with the upcoming iPad air tube otherwise known as the 6th generation iPad now real quickly taking a stroll back down memory lane in terms of the history of the iPad of course it all started with the original first generation iPad it was then followed by the iPad 2 then strangely enough for the third generation iPad Apple decided to call the new iPad in strange naming scheme aside that was significant because it brought the Retina display to the iPad taking that 1024 by 768 resolution and bumping it up to 2048 by 1536 now shortly thereafter in fact it was the same exact year Apple released the third generation iPad they decided to bump out the fourth generation it was different with that compared to the third has it not only brought a much more powerful processor in GPU but it also brought the Lightning port to the iPad kind of unifying it with Apple's flagship products at that time rewind back to last year 2013 Apple released its fifth generation iPad which we now know as the iPad air and that was big because it definitely brought back some life and some freshness to the iPad lineup taken after its little Bros design the iPad Mini in terms of the sleekness of thinness and the actual looks of the iPad now as of recording this video it is June 2014 that means we are only a couple months away from the next generation iPad and I actually got my hands on what appears to be the alleged iPad air 2 dummy model now huge thank you to sunny Dixon for making this happen I'm sure by now most of you have probably heard of him he has the Apple leak master if not I will have him linked down below so what exactly does this iPad air to dummy model tell us about Apple's next generation iPad there's actually a few different things the first of them being there isn't going to be a huge change design wise or form factor compared to the original iPad air you can see the bezel looks very similar if you do however look at them side-by-side you can see that this model is a little bit thinner than the current iPad air that measures in a thickness of 7.5 millimeters whereas this comes in at about 6 to 6 and a half millimeters so it is a little bit thinner than the current iPad air here you can see there's a slight difference on this model of these speakers compared to the current iPad air that has two rows of speak left and right whereas this one has a single row both left and right the downside of this though is that there will be no front facing speakers on the next generation iPad I know it wasn't rumored or talked about but if you've used the HTC One m7 or m8 you know how important how awesome this feature could be and I just want it on the next iPad now this next thing is probably the single thing in this video that I would take with a grain of salt not really look too deeply into that is the fact that the dummy model is slightly heavier than the current iPad air but of course there are no internal parts there are no physical components so again this is not a big thing or not something I would look to compare now moving up towards the top of the dummy model iPad air to the volume rockers up and down on the exact same spot but if you notice and you really look closely they're actually a little more recessed as opposed to popping out like on the current iPad air so that may be a good thing depending on how you look at it so those are some of the smaller differences that I've noticed but I think the biggest thing and if you're looking at this and it's probably screaming at you is the difference of the home button on this model compared to the current iPad air much to all of our disappointment the iPad air did not include the touch ID fingerprint reader like we saw in the iPhone 5s so you can see unlike the current iPad air which has that classic Apple kind of vintage now square home button this now has the familiar looking ring home button that's going to give us access to the touch ID fingerprint reader now to briefly touch upon that because I've used the iPhone 5s and the iPad air once I got used to the iPhone 5s not having it on the iPad air was definitely noticeable so this would be a much welcomed feature on the iPad air 2 so that about wraps up this video hopefully you guys enjoyed it if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to hit that like button it is much appreciated and of course I will throw a virtual high five at your face now as far as what we talked about in this video definitely let me know what is most exciting or appealing to you in the upcoming iPad air 2 or just let me know what you want to see most in Apple's next generation iPad if you guys have any questions on the upcoming iPad air 2 the iPhone 6 or just tech in general the absolute best way to get ahold of me is on twitter at TLD today I am on there pretty
