We're smack bang in the middle of quarterly results season right now and with Apple announcing a record quarter that was backed up heavily by iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sales all attention turned to Samsung to see what the Korean firm had to offer.
There has been on-off talk of Apple's larger, so-called 'iPad Air Plus’ for some time now, with initial rumors stretching back well over a year. But with Samsung's Galaxy Tab Pro series and, of course, the monstrosity that is the Surface Pro 3, there's a real feeling that Apple will finally cave at some point this year, although what a slate with a ~12-inch display means for the MacBook line remains unclear. Still, a new case leak offers a possible glimpse as to the shape and size of this upcoming slab, as well as where the numerous switches, buttons and ports may reside.

It's not uncommon for this to be the case, particularly in the smartphone industry, and in fact, talk of the "iPhone 6s" or "iPhone 7" has been prevalent since the arrival of the latest models way back in September. Given that we're now approaching the halfway point of the iPhone 6's shelf life, it actually makes sense to assess where Apple may next take its prized asset, and one designer has pulled together some renders that have us hoping that the Cupertino company is watching.

Before Apple's earnings call tonight, we knew that the company was going to come through with the big numbers. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sold in monumentally high volumes during those first few weeks and months on sale, and the rampant shipments have certainly hindered rivals such as Samsung. Amid the fanfare, the Mac maker has also revealed that since 2007, it has shifted one billion iOS devices, which is a phenomenal achievement and shows the continued strength of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch line up.
