The iPad Air leaks just keep coming. Just days ahead of Apple's Oct. 16 iPad event, new photos of the alleged iPad Air 2 with Retina Displays Chipsets and outer frame have arrived, revealing the tablet's rumored Touch ID sensor and what could be Apple's A8X processor.


Originally posted to Taiwanese website Apple.club.tw, the photos include an image of a module that sports what looks like a new version of Apple's Touch ID fingerprint reader. Another photo depicts the new iPad Air's alleged logic board, which packs a CPU labeled "A8X" and what looks to be a microSIM card reader. The A8X chip would likely provide a boost in graphics performance over the A8 processor, similar to earlier "X" variants of Apple's CPU.

Apple's mobile payment system (which requires Touch ID) is rumored to launched, which is just two days after the new iPad's expected unveiling.

We should have an official word on the long-rumored iPad mini 3 during Apple's Oct. 16 press event, where we also may see a new iPad mini 3 X8 Processor and new MacBook and iMac models. We'll be on the ground in Cupertino, so stay tuned.
