The iPhone 5 was the first major change to Apple’s iconic mobile device since the iPhone 4. The move to a 4-inch display was the most noticeable change, but there was a number
of small adjustments that made it another hit for the Cupertino-based
company. The same, however, could not be said for the iPad as its
fourth iteration featured no discernable aesthetic difference. That all
may change this year.
In a report from iLounge, Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Horwitz claims to
have seen a “supposedly accurate” physical model of the iPad 5. In his
report, he claims that the iPad 5 will be noticeably smaller than its
predecessors. In fact, the next-generation iPad will be taking a cue
from the iPad Mini by removing the left and right bezels and reducing
the size of the top and bottom bezels to only include enough room for
the home button and camera.
So, when we will see this supposedly redesigned next-generation iPad?
Horwitz says that Apple is targeting an October release after its
previously planned March launch slipped through its fingers. The delay
is welcome, however, as it gives Apple ample time to perfect the newest
iPad into something that may just wow critics after the disappointing
fourth-generation iPad.
The iPad 5 may be the star of this report, but Horwitz adds more
credence to the rumors of two iPhones launching this year. He says that
the iPhone 5S will look much like the iPhone 5, but feature a larger
flash. The other iPhone model coming this year is the same rumored
cheaper iPhone that features a plastic body. It will be sold to
emerging markets like China where most of the population can’t afford
the regular iPhone.
As for that rumored bigger iPhone, Horwitz says that it’s in the
planning stages. He says that it will feature a 4.7-inch display. You
shouldn’t get too excited though as he says it may never come to
market. It’s only experimental for now, and it may just remain that
way.
