A Japanese Apple site has leaked some photos of upcoming iPad parts, showing some of the upgrades we can expect when the new model comes out.

First is the upgrade from the A7 chip to the A8X chip, which will provide faster processing speeds.

Also, it will have Touch ID just like the iPhone 6.

And an image of the home button surround shows that there will, indeed, be a gold iPad.

Rumor is that there will be a new iPad Air as well as a top of the line version called the iPad Pro.

The new iPad will essentially carry over the upgrades to the iPhone 6 to the iPad platform, which should provide room for new, high-quality apps to extend the usability of the iPad.
