Isn’t the iPad mini 3 already thin enough? For any normal person or company, yes, but this is Apple we are talking about.

When was the last time an Apple product actually got thicker? I think that would be the iPad 3, the first Retina Apple tablet, a product generally reviled by the critics and loved users. However, if the latest iPhone 6s rumor come true, Apple’s next smartphone update will fatter if only just a little. Tapscape has reported extensively on the upcoming iPhone 6s and the details have remained quite stable over time — updated 12MP…

It has been rumored that Apple’s upcoming iOS 9 will focus on eradicating long-time bugs (ie Wi-Fi), as well as consistency and performance issues. Additionally, it’s expected to run on older Apple smartphones and tablets, going all the way back to 2011’s iPhone 4s and iPad 2. That, of course,…
And, would you believe that the current rumor predicts iOS 9 will not only run but run well on the four-year-old iPad mini and iPhone 4s.
