A leaker-constructed shell of the fifth-generation iPad appears to show the best idea yet of what Apple’s new tablet might look like.
The case, built by Apple leaker Sonny Dickson (http://sonnydickson.com/2013/09/08/a-detailed-hands-on-look-at-apples-5th-gen-ipad-designs/), combines components claimed to be that of the iPad 5. Dickson’s images show the shell sat on top of and beside the iPad 4, showing a thinner surrounding bezel and speaker design similar to that of the iPad Mini. If accurate, the shell’s design aligns with previous rumours (http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/apple-to-begin-work-on-slimmer-lighter-ipad-5/031004) that the iPad 5 would take inspiration from the Mini to shrink its form factor.
The case also appears to slant less on its edges than its predecessor, seeming to adopt a shape more like the first-generation iPad.
Missing from the assembled case is the plastic insert used to hold previous iPad iterations’ radio antennae, which was featured on leaked parts earlier this year.
