iPad 5 Leaks Again, Reveals iPad Mini-Like Design

iPad 5 Leaks Again, Reveals iPad Mini-Like Design

We know that the iPad 5 is supposed to take some design cues from Apple’s iPad mini. Widely believed to be in for a design change, the latest iPad 5 leaks show off a device with a narrow angled back almost identical to that of Apple’s current 7.9-inch ‘mini’ tablet. A number of previously leaked images claiming to show the iPad 5 have all pointed to similar alterations.

With the iPad 5, evidence is mounting that Cupertino intends to follow the lead set by the iPad mini, and slim down the 9.7-inch tablet. Not only is it rumored to be a lighter device — possibly because of the use of low-power Sharp IGZO displays, which would require smaller batteries — but Apple is ditching the equally-sized side bezels on the iPad 5 to make it narrower, just like the iPad mini. That means when holding the iPad in portrait mode, your thumbs would partly obscure the display.

Speaking of the mini, the photos also show a shell for one, but it’s not clear if this is the iPad mini 2, and if so, if it will boast a Retina display. Fingers crossed.

Apple will likely unveil its new iPhones during a Sept. 10 event in San Francisco, and we expect the new iPads will be announced during a separate event later. It’s possible we’ll see these in Oct. so that Apple can get them on the market in time for the holiday shopping season.
