New Photo Claims to Show 2 GB Elpida RAM Chips for iPad Air 2 (MacRumors)
Source: Some website even MacRumors has never heard of before
Chance it's true: 50/50
If these chips were shown attached to a logic board, I'd say this rumor was a lock for being true. Presented on their own, however, the best I can give this is even odds.
It does make perfect sense for Apple to up the RAM in the next iPad Air. The current version of the iPad Air is my primary computer, and while it's a tremendous device in absolutely every other way, the relatively small amount of RAM is pretty noticeable.
Apple Delaying Mass Production of 12.9-Inch iPad to Deal with Strong iPhone 6 Plus Demand (MacRumors)

Chance it's true: Who knows
Based on the headline I could have sworn this was more BS from Digitimes. Since this is from the Wall Street Journal instead, this rumor at least has a greater-than-zero chance of being true. However, since this rumor also falls under the "Unannounced Apple product delayed until next year" umbrella, I don't find it terribly credible.
Philips TVs bundled with Apple TV launch in India as part of alleged partnership [u] (AppleInsider)
The rumor blogs initially reported this as the Apple TV software being bundled into Philips TV sets, and in their rush to be FIRST! to post, they didn't pause to ponder whether that made a single bit of sense (it didn't). The real scenario is far more mundane: Apple TV boxes are being bundled with Philips TVs.
Apple Reportedly Preparing to Remove Bose Audio Products From Retail Stores (MacRumors)

Chance it's true: 50/50
The main reason this removal might have gone through appears to no longer be valid; the lawsuit between Bose and Beats is over with, so there's a decent chance this won't happen after all.
New Images of iPad Air 2 Parts Show Touch ID Home Button Cable, Logic Board With A8X Chip, and More (MacRumors)
Source: Parts leak
Chance it's true: 100 percent
With the iPhone 6, the closer we got to the actual launch date, the more accurate the parts leaks became. The iPad Air 2 is likely to follow the same pattern... especially since it's expected to be announced later this week. Therefore, I'm comfortable saying these images are legitimate.
