iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 release date and specs news reveal new developments on two of Apple's most sought after devices.
Previous reports have already disclosed some of the rumored notable features of the new Apple gadgets, and have hinted a late 2014 release for both. However, a new report has surfaced claiming that the new iPhone will be released two weeks from now, September 19 to be exact.
According to Macworld: "If Apple follows the same pattern as last year the phone will be previewed at an event on 9 September, and available to buy on the 19 September."
"Indeed, according to reports, Apple is planning to hold an event on Tuesday 9 September at which it will launch the new iPhone 6. This report came from Re/Code, which is generally a good source of Apple rumours. So, Friday 19 September looks like the day to join the iPhone queue (unless you prefer to queue up for a week or so)," the article added.
Meanwhile, another iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 release date and specs news centered on the features of the iPhone 6 particularly its ultra-thin battery.
According to International Business Times, "Crucial to the rumoured super-slim iPhone 6 finish is the battery - the thinner it is, the likelihood that the device will touchdown on its leanest and lightest ever."
Apart from the thin battery, the iPhone 6 will reportedly have major upgrades in its camera and screen resolution.
Business Insider reported, "Developer James Thompson has found an interesting behavior in the latest iOS 8 beta, giving even more weight to the reports that indicate the iPhone 6 will feature a new resolution, featuring a new 'pixel-tripling' scaling factor of 3. In May, 9to5Mac first broke news of Apple testing a new screen resolution for an upcoming iPhone, which used a 3x screen scale for content."
Interesting… UIImage on iOS 8b5 will load a @3x image in preference to an @2x one, even on a @2x device. Not so on iOS 7. Bug, but also hmm…

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on the other hand predicted some notable iPad Air 2 specs might have. Aside from having major improvements on its speed and performance because of the Apple A8 processor, he also suggested that it will have Apple's fingerprint scanner technology called Touch ID which first debuted on the iPhone 5S.
Furthermore, leaked iPad Air 2 specs also claim that it will have a 2GB RAM. The bigger memory will enable the new tablet to perform multiple actions at once and is compatible with a split-screen function.
Rumors of an October release for the new iPad have circulated, but nothing has been confirmed.
