iPad: iPad 5 Model

[CarlosQG]

This is what happens when you start to procrastinate lol.

Anyway, a little 3D model of how I imagine the iPad 5. It's basically a larger iPad Mini. Render coming soon.

Hope you guys like it! :D

lose the bezel, I think it'll then be accurate

I think an iPad 5 without the bezel would be the right size. People with the iPad 4 don't want to hear that though.

I like the bezel on my iPad 4.
But knowing apple, the good looks and the lighter weight will take priority over usability.

I have a 2 and I don't want to hear that either.

Unlike the Mini where I can hold it in one hand by the fingertips, I have my full thumb resting on the side bezel when holding it with one hand. Very little of my finger touches the screen on the Mini, but on my 2, too much of the screen would be covered and I'd have to move my hand to tap on parts of the screen.

It won't have LED (no need for one on an iPad). Other then that I think it will probably look like that.

Damn, I forgot the chamfered edge.

And I don't really think the iPad 5 will lose the bezel.

ipad 5 will DEFINATELY going to look like a big ipad mini. LULZ

Ummmmm it looks like nothing changed at all case wise. A more accurate drawing would have been trimming the bezel on the sides like the mini. You can't really say its a larger mini of you didn't trim the sides of the bezel a bit.

Really? I've got an iPad4, wouldn't bother me at all if the 5 'lost the bezel'.

7.2mm is way to thin. Not going to happen with retina and decent battery life. I can see the 5 being thinner than the current iPad but 2.2mm thinner, is way past wishful thinking.
