New reports are suggesting that a rumored October release date for the iPad Air 3 may coincide with a price drop for Apple's current flagship tablet, the iPad Air 2. 

Although an official release date has yet to be confirmed for the device's successor version, many are expecting the company to launch it later this year. For now, avid tablet users remain fixed on accessories, such as cases, for the iPad Air 2. 

OtterBox is selling its Agility Keyboard Portfolio and Shell case for the iPad Air 2 with a $49.95 price tag. 

The iOS 9 is reported to include a secret code for a larger iPad keyboard, demonstrating that Apple's iPad Air 2 may in fact be 12-13 inches, as previous rumors have suggested. 

The company revealed that the iOS 9 also features a new split-screen multitasking function, which will be available for the iPadAir 2. 

The new operating system features allows users to include a two-pane display on their screen. 

The Typo, an iPad Air 2 case featuring keyboard connectivity, was recently released by developers, who announced that the device includes an integrated auto-correct function. 

It also features Bluetooth LE as well as well as a long-lasting battery. It is available at major retailers for $189.
