A new rumor is predicting that Apple will release an iPad Mini Air tablet that will be 30% thinner than its predecessor. The report comes via Taiwan's United Daily News and is relayed by GforGames.
The Chinese media reports that one of the tablet’s biggest selling points will be its thinness, and that the device will allegedly be 30% thinner than the previous model. In addition, the publication suggests that the iPad Mini Air will draw its processing power from the new A8 processor which is currently manufactured by TSMC.
The site's supply chain sources also predicted that the iPad Pro (12.9-inch) could arrive at the end of Q3 / beginning of Q4 2014. That contradicts a prediction by David Hsieh, VP of the Greater China Market at DisplaySearch, who says the larger iPad won't hit the market before 2015.

With the new iPad Mini 3 coming out I better sell my old iPad before the value of it drops. I usually search 8-13 different sites to find the best offer, but I just found this company that compares all the buyback companies in one spot, it’s called RecomHub.
It's like Kayak but for electronic devices that show you all the offers in one spot.
Not sure thinner really matters as much. The iPad already comes in 128GB so the only really needs would be security improvements like Touch ID. A gold housing would be a really nice touch though. Otherwise the iPad mini retina is fine just the way it is. I don't think it would be a good idea to do a 12.9" iPad, that would be pointless, bringing back the 17" MacBook Pro would be a better option (w/upgradable/removable SSD drives of course)
