Gold iPad mini 2 spotted with Touch ID fingerprint scanner

When it comes to leaks of iPad mini 2 hardware, we haven’t exactly been left wanting. Indeed, along with the iPad 5, we’ve had plenty of opportunities to check out components attributed to this year’s mini refresh. While we’ve had enough chances to see the tablet’s rear panel, more recently rumors have been talking about what might be happening around front, with the suggestion that Apple could be giving its new tablets the same Touch ID fingerprint scanner we find in the iPhone 5S. Today we might just get our first evidence confirming that idea, as well as a look at a possible gold version of the iPad mini 2.

The images above and below sure do seem to reflect an iPad mini 2 design with the same metal-ringed home button from the iPhone 5S. While we can’t discount the possibility that this is a well-done fake, it certainly looks plausible enough, and fitting in with those earlier rumors is just the icing on the cake.

Given the popularity the gold iPhone 5S is experiencing, it’s also not entirely surprising to see a gold iPad mini 2 like this, though it’s a little odd that it hadn’t cropped-up earlier; remember, we saw gold iPhone 5S parts going back months and months prior to launch. That has us just the slightest bit concerned that this might not be legit, but even if that ends up being the case, we still have to appreciate the look this gives us as a “what if” scenario.(PocketNow)

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
