Apple is expected to launch its next generation iPad on October 16. It will be called iPad Air 2 and the design and specifications of the device are leaked ahead of its release.

It will come with A8 chip and the processor will be paired with 2 GB RAM. the new device will not be offered in 16 GB internal storage but will only be available in 32, 64 and 128 GB storage options.
