With just a few days left to the unveiling of the new iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 at Apple's event, well-known designer Martin Hajek has released rendered images of the new tablets from the Cupertino giant. Hajek's images are an attempt to showcase what the iPad Air 2 and mini 3 could look like if Apple decides to take design cues from the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Unlike the previous generations, the new iPhones have taken an altogether different design route with curved edges, plastic bands dividing the rear aluminum backplate into three regions, and an overall slimmer shell. It would be the first time that Apple launched a phone with a protruding camera as well. Hajek takes these design elements and shows us what unsurprisingly looks like a stretched iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.
Within iOS 8, the typing experience has improved dramatically. Not only has Apple now made it possible for users to download their favorite third-party offerings like Fleksy, Swype and SwiftKey, but the native keyboard is also far superior to the lackluster native arrangement that users have endured for the past seven years. The autocomplete feature, in particular, will estimate the next word in your sentence, writing out your body of text through a combination of guesswork and learned algorithms. But while this is useful for your everyday typist, one YouTuber has taken things a step further by allowing the stock feature to essentially write its own song. The result is pretty hilarious, and below, you can check it out.
Here's how you can fix the most common iOS 8 related problems and issues running on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Tips to speed up iOS 8 on your iPhone 4s, iPad 2, iPad mini and other devices. Pretty much akin to how every new major release of iOS slowly eats away at, at least one generation of supported devices, the iPhone 4s and older-gen iPads have fallen right into that infamous generation of 'too slow' devices. If you have upgraded your older device to iOS 8 and are really feeling that slowing down of time, there are a couple of steps you can take to speed up your device. Read on after the jump for the details.
Remotely closing Safari tabs in iOS 8 and Yosemite can be more useful than you think, and it's dead easy to do, too.
Since Apple allowed developers some jurisdiction over the keyboard element of iOS, many have obliged in releasing third-party alternatives to the stock offering. Many of these have sought to offer enhanced functionality in helping users to type more quickly, while others have brought a welcome element of fun with GIFs and emojis galore, and today's featured keyboard seems a perfect combination of the two.
Apple's next major mobile software update, iOS 8.1, is currently on its way to the end user. We're already a couple of betas in, and with a special event now confirmed for next week, it may be just days away. Of all the features that the Cupertino company will be bundling into the new version, including Apple Pay, iOS 8.1 will also be plugging a loophole that allows emulators like GBA4iOS to run, but in a true sense of getting in before the lock, the authors of said emulator will still be pushing some new features before Apple spoils the party.
As soon as Apple pushes a new beta release of iOS out to developers, there's always someone waiting to poke around to see what they can see. One such developer is Hamza Sood.
Now that Apple has officially announced the existence of a dedicated media event next week, let the intense speculation begin. We've been expecting the invitations to arrive for quite some time, with the general consensus being that Tim Cook will unite his executive team once again in San Francisco to introduce the world to the future of the iPad. As part of that introduction, Apple is heavily expected to announce the second-generation iPad Air, which will of course feature a plethora of upgraded and new components in its hardware DNA, including this 2GB Elpida RAM chip, if the latest leaks are to be believed.
