Uh oh. Did Apple just spoil its own event?
Ahead of tomorrow's iPad event, an iPad user's guide for iOS 8 popped up online that appeared to show off Cupertino's next-gen iPads.
The iTunes listing was quickly updated to show the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display, but for a time, it was showing off an iPad mini 3 and an iPad Air 2.
The image tipped some of the device's specs, including a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Otherwise, they look very similar to their predecessors, as other updates will probably be internal: an upgraded chip and a longer-lasting battery, perhaps.
The photos of the new iPads showed up in the "iPad User Guide For iOS 8," an Apple-produced e-book available via its iBooks app. The earlier screenshots also tipped iOS 8.1, an upcoming update for the mobile OS that's expected next week.
Apple's iOS 8.1 is also expected to allow for Apple Pay in the new NFC-enabled iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Apple's event kicks off at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET tomorrow, so check back for all the details. We'll reportedly also see an upgraded iMac, though no Retina MacBook Air.
