Alleged iPad Air 2 Images Tip Inclusion of Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor

After purportedly being spotted in a number
of images last month and this month,
Apple's yet-to-be-announced iPad Air 2
tablet has once again allegedly appeared in
a couple of images that point to the
presence of a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
The two alleged iPad Air 2 images published
by Mobile Fun UK website show the
anticipated tablet flaunting a ring-
surrounded Touch ID fingerprint sensor, as
seen on the iPhone 5s. The leaked images
also show cases on the alleged iPad Air 2
tablet that cover most of its body.
The inclusion of the Touch ID sensor goes
in-line with what KGI Securities Analyst
Ming Chi Kuo predicted back in May . He
mentioned that the Cupertino firm will also
be looking to use new chemicals to increase
the durability of its Touch ID sensor.

Kuo added that while TSMC will be
producing the new Touch ID sensors, the
redistribution aspect will be taken care by
XinTec and WLCSP, and the packaging
efforts by ASE. Kuo also added that ASE and
Sharp will handle the module, all the
welding process will be done by Japan Unix.
The rumoured Apple iPad Air 2 tablet, as
seen in the images leaked earlier this month ,
is said to be almost 1mm thinner than the
existing iPad Air model. The rear camera is
also seen to be shifted slightly towards the
top left corner. There is still no word on the
tablet's specifications.
Along with the anticipated iPad Air 2, the
rumoured iPhone 6 and iPad mini 3 are also
expected to arrive with the fingerprint
sensor, according to the images leaked in
June .
