Earlier this week we saw images of the alleged iPad 5 pictured with the fourth-generation
tablet. Now images have
leaked showing the purported next-generation iPad alongside the new iPad mini.
These images are courtesy of Sonny Dickson. If you haven’t been
keeping track, Sonny brought us leaks of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on a
nearly daily basis, all of which turned out to be the real deal. You
should always take leaked photos with a grain of salt, but my gut says
these are probably accurate.
As you can see, the new iPad shares an extremely similar design to
the iPad mini. And the new iPad mini design has remained virtually
unchanged from the original, though it’s likely to see one big change in
the form of a retina display.
Stacked up next to one another, there isn’t quite the same dichotomy
of size as there is between the current iPad and iPad mini. That’s
because Apple is rumored to have reduced the size of the bezels on the
new iPad in order to decrease its overall footprint. A new, thinner,
film-based display should help make it thinner and lighter as well.
Other than these images, today’s leak offers no new information about
the upcoming iPads or a release date. It was rumored that Apple would
introduce the tablets alongside its new iPhones, but that clearly wasn’t
the
case. Still, it is likely the iPads will see an announcement and release date before the end of the year.
