Possible images of Apple's upcoming iPad Air 2 spotted on the web

Several images of what could possibly be Apple's new iPad Air 2 have recently been spotted on the website Nowhereelse.fr. Images show what appears to be a mockup or non-functional dummy model of the iPad Air with some interesting design features. It is expected that Apple plans to release a second-generation iPad Air tablet sometime this fall.

It has been rumored that Apple will be adding their Touch ID fingerprint technology to the next-generation iPad line and the leaked images seem to confirm this. You can clearly see what appears to be the Touch ID sensor embedded in the iPad dummy's home button and surrounded by a chrome ring.

Some other noticeable differences include a pair of volume buttons set within a recess along the edge of the tablet instead of protruding like they do on the original iPad Air. The stereo speaker grilles surrounding Apple's 8-pin lightning connector also appear changed, from the double rows of circular holes on the first-gen iPad Air, to a single row of larger holes.

It's certainly possible that some of the design changes appearing in the leaked images will show up on the new iPad Air 2. Keep in mind, however, that nothing has been confirmed yet, and Apple is tight-lipped as always.
