freak 1,032 Report post Posted October 5, 2013 iPad 5 video shows off Apple’s upcoming tablet design http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J84xWlkYjKc With the iPhone 5S having been released and already hitting the streets, we can be pretty sure that the 2013 iPad is coming next. Right now, it’s looking like Apple’s iPad 5 refresh is going to offer a thinner device whose exterior matches that of the iPad mini and completes Apple’s transition to updated materials, colors, and textures. The 10-inch iPad 4 has been due for a makeover for some time. This was especially apparent once the release of the iPad mini brought consumers a smaller tablet without the elongated taper to the edges, focusing instead on being a thinner all around device that you could still comfortably grip with one hand. There’s been plenty of speculation that Apple was going to update the full-sized tablet to imitate the iPad mini, but this new video really shows everything you need to know about the the iPad 5′s updating casing. Apple’s problems keeping things from leaking out seem to be getting worse, as the exterior panels for the upcoming iPad 5 show up on YouTube. As expected, the new casing looks like a larger iPad mini, bidding a fond farewell to the elongated tapers on the edges of the tablet. This change makes the new tablet slightly smaller around the edges, which means less bezel for the users to contend with when using the tablet (or to grip while handling it). Coupled with rumors surrounding Apple’s intention to include the new TouchID fingerprint sensor and color variants to their tablet lineup, a clear picture of Apple’s impending iPad 5 announcement appears. This next generation of devices from Apple unifies their hardware profiles into a single cohesive experience, which should make any Apple fan happy. There is not date announced or even rumored for the iPad 5 reveal yet but we expect to hear something in the coming weeks, possibly some time in October.
