There have been lots of little hints recently about what changes Apple's newest version of the iPad, the iPad 5, will feature. And there have been lots of claims that it will be a thinner, slimmer, and more powerful tablet. The latest, coming from a Vietnamese tech site, gives another tantalizing clue to how the iPad 5's display will look when it's finally released.
Diehard tech fans are nuts about design changes, and the next iPad from Apple might feature some that Apple lovers will adore. This particular rumor has a little hard evidence to back it up, and it's traveled across the globe to reach our shores.
The Vietnamese tech site Tinhte, relayed in video form by French tech site NoWhereElse, reports that what are claimed to be leaked cases for Apple's newest iPad indicate that the iPad 5 will have a slimmer design and a comparatively larger screen on its display face. The case is slightly shorter in height and much slimmer in width compared to Apple's current incarnation of the iPad.
The margins around the screen, or bezels, look like they will be much thinner. From the pictures relayed by NoWhereElse, which compare the supposed iPad 5 case with the current generation of iPad, the bezel on the next-gen Apple tablet may be up to half as wide as the current one.
Apple hasn't given many clues, so rumors are pretty much all the tech world has to go on at this point, so, continue to take them with a grain of salt. And while we may not get to see the new iPad 5 or iPhone in the coming month, we will probably get some solid details soon, at Apple's WWDC June 10-14. We may even find out whether the supposed September 2013 release date for the iPhone, followed shortly by the iPad 5, is true.
Check back with us in the coming weeks, as the Apple mania is only expected to increase.
