iPad Mini 4 Case Alleged Leaks Show Design Changes (VIDEO)
Images have leaked online showing what is reported to be the upcoming iPad Mini 4 with several changes in design.
Images of what is believed to be the as-yet-unannounced iPad Mini 4 casing have appeared online, highlighting subtle design changes from the device's predecessor.
Apple left the iPad Mini 3 largely unchanged from when it announced its handheld last October, except for the inclusion of Apple Pay, a Touch ID fingerprint scanner, and a gold color option.

The iPad Mini 4 is reportedly on its way, and what appears to be leaked images of its built show a number changes in the way of a thinner, more updated design, sporting an accompanying soft silicone case, a single row of 14 grill openings in front for the speaker, and a mic replacing the mute switch.
The only physical controls that appear to exist on the new design include Apple's iconic home button and the handheld's volume rocker. It also shows a lightning connection port at the bottom of the device.
Under the hood, the device is said to support a host of improvements, including the new A9 processor, 2GB of RAM, and upgraded camera optics, all running under the Cupertino, California company's latest iOS 9 that heavily emphasizes its multitasking capabilities for tablet use.
The leaked images were found to have originated from Twitter device leak regular @OnLeaks, Phone Arena reports, and displays housing images that will remind Apple device users of the technology giant's high-end Apple iPad Air 2 design.
While detailed information on the slate's specs remain sketchy apart from the leaked casing photos, they showed the same 7.9-inch screen similar to Apple's previous iPad mini tablets.
With the iPad Mini 3 expected to officially launch in autumn together with a third-gen iPad Air and still-to-be-confirmed rumors of a much larger iPad Pro, Apple has yet to comment on claims the leaked photos are indeed of its soon-to-be-announced iPad Mini 4.
