Apple iPad Air 3 and iPad Mini 4 details surface in new report, the iPad Pro is in for company

Back in October 2014, much to the dismay of some fans, Apple surprised the tech community by announcing the iPad Mini 3, the exact same tablet as the iPad Mini 2 (with Retina), but with the addition of a TouchID fingerprint sensor. At the time, some interpreted Apple's minor Mini 3 upgrade as a hint that the company is backing out of the compact tablet market to make way for its newly-launched phablet iPhone form factor. However, according to this recent report, the iPad Mini 4 (or whatever Apple decides to call it) will be brought up to 2015 standards and will include specs such as a sharper 8MP primary camera, a 6.1mm-thin body, and an display that works better in direct sunlight.
In short, if this report turns out to be accurate, Apple will launch a major iPad Mini update, and only a minor iPad Air refresh, which is the exact opposite situation compared to last year.
