Here's a fun fact, it actually has been awhile since Apple has updated the iPad Air 2 ever since its released in October 2014. And in case if you're wondering if we are ever getting an iPad Air 3, we now have a new rumour about the next-generation iPad.
The drawing above is a concept design from French website Nowhereelse.fr, it looks like the device could sport four-speaker design like the iPad Pro., with two at the top and the other two placed at the bottom. It will also feature a LED flash below the rear camera, which is a surprise because iPad isn't really made for taking pictures. Besides that, it could lack a 3D Touch feature, a faster processor chip, Oxide TFT display, Smart Connector and improved cameras.

Samsung is reportedly working on a new device to directly take onApple's iPad Air 2 most likely called the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. The South Korean giant's upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is reportedly thinner than the iPad Air 2's 6.1mm slim profile. The company is also said to be moving towards a design and product sizing similar to the ones from Apple. Instead of the usual 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch models, the company may release 8-inch and 9.7-inch sized tablets this year to compete with Apple's iPad lineup. Also, like Apple iPad tablets, this particular device could come with a 4:3 aspect ratio. To make the device even more premium, Samsung will use a metal frame on the Galaxy Tab S2. The source has not revealed any Malaysia release date, availability or pricing of the upcoming device. However, don't expect it to be showcased as soon as MWC 2015, where the powerful Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge flagships are expected to be unveiled with much fanfare. We will be covering the MWC 2015, so stay tuned for more information.

But at the same time, Apple slashed the prices of all the previous generation tablets that are available for sale in Malaysia including last year's iPad Air.

With the recent price listing on Apple Malaysia for the iPad tablets, we decided to compare both the aforementioned models, the iPad Air 2 vs iPad Air to help you decide which one to buy this holiday season.

It seems inevitable that other Apple products will get a bend test as well, especially after how easily the Apple iPhone 6 Plus bent due to bare hand force. This time around the 6.1mm thin Apple iPad Air 2 goes through the bend test and rather predictably, breaks. While we're not surprised at such a thin and big device bending or snapping in half, it appears that you do need a good deal of strength to bend it. If you've got pencils for arms then you probably won't have to worry too much about it. In the meantime, do check out the iPad Air 2 bend test video in this article.

Other notable design changes include removing the mute button and slanting the volume rocker diagonally, allowing the tablet to achieve it's 6.1mm thinness. Apple also laminated it's 9.7-inch screen, combining the cover glass, touch sensor and LCD into one thinner optically fused layer. However, resolution remains the same at 2048 x 1536 pixels, but at least Apple have included an anti-reflective coating as well.

A user manual containing stats and images of the upcoming Apple iPad Air 2 and Apple iPad mini 3 recently appeared on Apple's own site. It was quickly taken down but not before leaking stats and images of the upcoming tablets set to be announced tonight. The leak doesn't reveal much in terms of tech specs but does reveal some features such as a Touch ID fingerprint sensor for both tablets and a Burst mode for the camera on the Apple iPad Air 2. The manual also confirms the names as Apple iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 which could mean an expanded inventory at the Apple store rather than an outright replacement. No Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet but we expect it to arrive in Malaysia sometime in November or December of 2014.

Reports from Taiwan say that the next Apple iPad Air which probably won't be called the iPad Air 2 may be coming next month in October. While there isn't any Malaysia release date, the report was very specific, pointing to 21 October 2014 as the reveal date for the tablet. Tech specs and features about the upcoming tablet have not been many with some saying that it could pack in a new A8 processor, 2GB of RAM, a redesigned speaker and possibly a Touch ID fingerprint scanner. While we're quite certain about the A8 processor and Touch ID scanner, we'd advise you to take a pinch of salt regarding the other rumoured tech specs. Unfortunately, the reports go on to say that the next Apple iPad mini or iPad mini 3 will only be coming in early 2015. Granted, it was a bit late last year but it could also be late this year as well so take this rumour with a pinch of salt too. The 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro is expected to be announced as well, but again there are no specific Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet.
