Leaked images show possible “space gray” second-generation iPad mini shell

This “space gray” color’s hip with Apple and the kids today…

Per AppleInsider and French web blog NowhereElse.fr, a series of newly-leaked images shows an available “space gray” color for Apple’s upcoming second-generation iPad mini tablet.

Apple’s upcoming refresh of the best-selling iPad mini will see the device’s slate coloring dropped in favor of the company’s new gray, according to newly-leaked photos purported to show the device’s rear shell. The images, which also depict slight structural updates match up to another recent leak of purported iPad Mini 2 and iPad 5 sim trays.

“Space gray,” introduced with the new flagship iPhone 5s, succeeds “black and slate” as the darkest color on offer from Cupertino. Following the phone’s introduction, the company’s iPod lineup was also updated to introduce the new shade.

The second-generation iPad mini is expected to be announced by Apple at an event in October, alongside a new fifth-generation iPad. It’s expected that Apple’s next 7.9-inch tablet will feature a high-resolution Retina display, while the new full-size iPad will sport a redesigned chassis similar to the iPad mini.

Both devices have been outed in numerous part leaks that have arrived throughout 2013. But Wednesday’s latest leak is the first indication that the anodized aluminum back may adopt Apple’s new “space gray” coloring.
