The rumor claims that supply of the Retina MacBook Airs will be limited at first due to constraints on component pieces. However, production may speed up in the next few months for an early 2015 release. The device is rumored to be Apple’s thinnest MacBook yet and is expected to be fanless. The last upgrade to the MacBook line came in April 2014, but it only included minor improvements.

iPad: Pictures of what is claimed to be a dummy version of the iPad Air 2 have been leaked online, MacRumors notes. The dummy model of the iPad Air 2 is likely one that was given to accessory creators so they would know the physical structure of the device. This dummy model is 7 mm thick. This is the same thickness as what the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus’ thickness. The photos of the dummy model also shows two holes located near the camera. These holes may be a microphone. The dummy model is likely what the finished iPad Air 2 will look like as it shares the same physical features as other dummy models that have been seen.

Pay: Developers that were given copies of the newest iOS 8.1 beta have discovered elements of Apple Pay in it, reports Cult of Mac. One developer that was looking through the iOS 8.1 beta discovered Apple Pay setup screens for iOS 8.1 and iPad. Setup screens were also discovered inside of the Passbook app. The developer has taken screenshots of the setup screens and posted them online. It’s unknown if the full feature will be unlocked in a later beta or if it will just be released straight to the public. The previous iOS 8.1 beta was found to contain references to Apple Pay when it was released.
