Well it looks like we’ve got new photos of iPad 5 front panels which has just surfed this morning, but guess what ? The photos showing thinner bezels again.. Today MacRumors points to repair shop MacFixit’s website, which has posted several photos of what it believes is a front panel and digitizer for the iPad 5. The part shows the same narrower side bezels as we’ve seen in previous leaks.
And here’s another one:
The site notes that the connectors are different from those seen in current and previous iPad models, but Apple has been rumored to be making a number of internal changes in order to achieve the smaller form factor expected.
Here are some of the other things it noted:
– The display area is the same as the iPad Retina.
– The edges of the frame are narrower using the same style as the iPad mini.
– The ITO (Indium tin oxide) is the same as the iPad mini.
– There is now 2 connectors instead of 1.
– The connectors have been changed from FFC (Flat Flexible Cable, like the iPad 2/3/4) to FPC (Flexible Printed Circuits, like the iPhone 4/5).
So what do you think ? Can we see such thing in the next generation iPad ?
