In a new video, Chinese parts supplier SW-BOX.com
goes hands-on with a purported iPad 5 unit, and investigates how the
fifth-generation 9.7-inch tablet measures up against both the iPad 4 and
iPad mini.
As a reminder, recent analysis concerning the iPad 5 has indicated that Apple is expected to implement the design of the iPad mini, creating a large-screen iDevice with a thinner bezel and a smaller overall surface area, while maintaining the tablet’s 9.7-inch screen.
Furthermore, Apple may be planning on announcing and launching its new iPads as part of “an October surprise,” which could also see the release of both OS X Mavericks and a new Apple TV.
Now, however, one video claims to go hands-on with the iPad 5 ahead
of schedule, and provides iDevice users with a better idea of what can
be expected once Apple makes its anticipated iPad announcements.
In the video (which comes via MacRumors),
Apple’s iPad 5 is measured against both an iPad 4 and iPad mini. As you
can see, in terms of both height and width, the fifth-generation iPad
is narrower than its fourth-generation counterpart, resulting in an
overall smaller surface area.
The purported iPad 5 also looks a lot like the iPad mini, and borrows
from the small-size iDevice’s form factor in a number of different
ways. This contributes towards the changes in dimensions, and also
results in a flatter, more streamlined design.
Here’s the video:
