Apple will reportedly introduce its new generation of iPads this month, and the leaks are right on schedule: Today’s rumor comes from the Vietnamese blog Tinhte.vn, which published a slew of photos of what it describes as a model device. First of all, if the leaks are to be believed—and we should take them with a grain of salt—the iPad Air 2 will adopt many of the design details of the new iPhone 6.

Vietnamese blog Tinhte.vn has pictures claiming to show the design of the new iPad Air, likely a dummy unit which acts as a reasonable portrayal of the device’s characteristics. Shown in white, the device is reportedley only 7 mm thin. This is almost the same depth as Apple’s latest iPhones, which measure 6.9 mm and 7.1 mm thin. As such, it also features the same recessed volume button style as the iPhone 6. The leaks show the next generation iPad to be mostly identical to the current iPad Air, but with some notable changes. Aside from thinness, the iPad now features a ‘glass’ (likely sapphire) Touch ID home button to match previous rumors. Interestingly, the side shots of the device appear to lack a mute switch.
