Apple iPad 3: Design ::::: The latest reports suggest the iPad 3 will be thicker than the iPad 2 at 0.7mm with the reasoning behind this being that to light the new HD display the iPad 3 needs larger light bars.
A whole new form factor has been suggested via components leaked online which are alleged to be from the iPad 3. Although an obscure and seemingly unimportant piece of tech innards at first glance, the reported iPad 3 component labelled the ‘821-1259-06’ has revealed Apple is to change the iPad’s design for the third-generation release whilst maintaining the white and black colour schemes.
Appearing to be a dock connector with attached ribbon cable, unlike the iPad and iPad 2 the iPad 3 component features a 90 degree turn as opposed to going straight on suggesting Apple is to reshuffle the device’s hardware features.
Said to be sourced from Apple’s “internal inventory” and leaked via web forum Apple.pro, a site responsible for leaking the latest iPod Nano prior to its formal arrival, the first iPad 3 component leak has offered an intriguing glance at what the future Apple tablet might have in store.
