iPad mini 2 case pictured in space gray for first time ever

9:25 AM

Apple’s upcoming new flagship iPhone 5s won’t be the only new Apple device that will launch with the new space gray color option, if a new leak ends up panning out. Japanese mobile parts seller Moumantai recently added a new listing on its website for a second-generation iPad mini housing in the new space gray color. It also included photos of the new casing, marking the first time it has ever been pictured in Apple’s space gray color, which is much lighter than the slate color seen on the current-generation iPhone 5. Moumantai opines that space gray will replace the current black color option on the iPad mini, and the new shell is already available for sale on the site for 10,000 yen, which works out to just over $101.

Apple is widely expected to unveil a completely overhauled full-size iPad as well as a brand new iPad mini in October. The fifth-generation iPad is expected to be redesigned in order to match the design identity of the iPad mini, and the second-generation iPad mini is thought to be almost identical to the current model, however it is expected to feature a new Retina display.

Now, if this new leak is authentic, it looks like we can expect at least one new color option as well.

Both new iPads will reportedly be unveiled during a press event in California on October 15th, though that date has not been confirmed. Apple’s iOS 7.1 update will be shown off alongside the new tablets, according to an exclusive BGR report.

Several additional photos of the new Retina iPad mini housing follow below.

Home button of redesigned iPhone 5S with pictured in white fingerprint scanner for the first time

9:30

Stop us if you know this: Apple plans to unveil two new models of the iPhone on Tuesday, and one of them, according to the reports, dubbed iPhone 5S, probably will have a fingerprint scanner. A couple of recent leaks apparently revealed the new vessel logo iPhone 5S packaging, on which is printed an image of the handset with a redesigned Home button. The new button icon less apparently has been involved with a silver ring, and now a new leak shows the redesigned white for the first time start button.

French blog Nowwherelse.fr in the morning Tuesday published a photo of what it purports to the quick starting guide on the packaging retail for 5S next Apple iPhone. The picture apparently shows a 5S iPhone white and silver with all moving parts with the label, and reads the text pointing out the new start button "Start button / Touch sensor ID."

Several earlier reports suggested that the new Apple fingerprint scanner could be embedded in the iPhone 5 home button and could mainly be used to unlock the phone tightly, so the name 'ID Touch sensor' would be appropriate in this scenario.

Anyway, Apple has a press conference on Tuesday unveiled two new phones. The first will be the flagship iPhone 5S which is said to have two new color options: champagne gold and more light a new grey - as well as an improved camera with a dual LED flash, an upgraded processor and a fingerprint scanner. The phone is expected to debut along with the lowest cost iPhone 5 c, which will look specifications in line with current 5 Apple iPhone, but in a new case of plastic which will be launched in five colors.
