Here's a normal iPad too.

I'm not that much of a whiz at photoshop (you can see the sizes aren't perfect and I think the glass is at an angle in the rumor photo but there you go...)
Lighter yes, I'm pretty sure it will be. Significantly lighter? I doubt it. A large part of the weight of the retina iPad is the batteries required to power that screen for any decent length of time. Unless there's a significant breakthrough in battery technology between now and launch, I think Apple are limited to just trimming small things here and there. They could of course opt to use smaller batteries and reduce their lifespan per charge.
The benzel on my iPad 3 ...![]()
At last a high-res photo on a rumor site!!![]()
You must yawn a lot if you do that every time you see some glass.
I wonder if the resizing in the bezels means I can throw my $80 smart cover in the garbage...
Planned obsolescence. You didn't expect that?

Nice, this is what I've been wanting. If there are this many parts leaking out, it will probably debut sooner rather than later. iPad 3 was released in April....
And how do I know that this is actually not an iPad mini in the hands of a dwarf??
Sources appear to be split on when the fifth-generation iPad will make its debut, with some having suggested that Apple could hold an event as early as this month if the device is ready, while others have claimed that Apple is shooting for an October release. Just yesterday, Digitimes claimed that Apple is planning to ramp up production for the new iPad in the July/August timeframe.
