Apple’s next iPad – dubbed the “iPad 5” by observers – will be significantly less wide and thinner than its forebear while keeping the same screen size, according to leaked parts shown on a US gadget site.
However the new iteration of the iPad mini, first launched last October, is exactly the same size, according to the cases leaked to Lewis Hilsenteger of Unbox Therapy.
Hilsenteger says that the cases came from a trusted source who has proved reliable in the past. The finish on the cases, displayed in two videos, suggest that they are made by a supplier for Apple. “The parts have only become available recently and in very limited quality. They are fabricated by an OEM that delivers orders to Apple,” he told the Guardian.
