Bloomberg has recently reported that a gold colored 9.7-inch iPad, also known as the iPad Air 2, may be coming to this year’s lineup. Currently the iPad Air is only offered in space gray and silver, but if the rumors are true, the iPad Air 2 will be offered in three official colors. These three colors have been offered since the iPhone 5s and currently match the recently released iPhone 6 lineup. According to Bloomberg:
New versions of the company’s 9.7-inch iPads, anticipated to be unveiled this month, will include gold as a choice of color for the rear metal cover, adding to the silver and gray available for the lighter iPad Air, the people said, asking not to be identified ahead of an announcement. That brings the color palette into line with the iPhone 5s, which come with silver or gold backs for models with a white faceplate, and space gray for those with a black front.
Sales of the iPad have declined for the past two quarters after soaring from $5 billion when the product was introduced in 2010 to $30 billion in 2012. Last year, iPad sales produced $32 billion.
