When it comes to the iPad, the iPad mini is thought to be the better looking of the models. The fourth generation iPad was almost identical to the iPad 2 except that it was heavier and thicker. It is strongly suspected that Apple is going to change the upcoming iPad 5 to make it more beautiful adding a touch of anodized aluminum. We still don't know if this really will be the case but a leaked image of the iPad 5 bezel seem to indicate that from the front the next generation iPad could be borrowing a few design points from the iPad mini.
Apple's decision to make the bezel thinner along the two vertical axes of the iPad mini is seen as being much more efficient from a design perspective and it also makes it easier for users to hold. It also looks much better. This leaked image could be just another person trying to ignite the rumor mill but with Apple having made no effort to alter the iPad 4's design, it may just be that Apple is planning to make some amendments this time round.
It's not very often that Apple releases products that are heavier or thicker than their predecessors, so a new iPad mini like design for the new iPad 5 could be on the cards. This will give us a lighter and better looking design too. The iPad 4 is pretty bloated considering how many revisions it has seen and it launched just seven months after the iPad 3. Leaks suggest that there could be a lot more time and effort being put into the next generation model.
The leaked image that we received cannot be verified so it is hard to tell whether it is fake or not and as with all rumors and leaked images we do have to wait on offical confirmation from Apple before we know exactly what we are getting. With that said, we fully expect to see Apple modernize the full size iPad to create a uniform look with the iPad mini. Be sure to keep an eye out for further updates because as soon as we receive any information you will be the first to know.
