If you follow the news like a bloodhound on its trail you know that rumors have abounded about Apple’s new 5th generation iPad. From how it looks to its size, as well as it rumored to have a design somewhat like that of the recently seen iPad mini there have been many a yarn on what next in store for the folks at Apple. The designs we think are coming will probably feature the white/silver or black/slate with the thinner casing, the chamfered edges and have a smaller overall footprint than its predecessor.  Yesterday and unverified image was exposed to the net from a purported China-based iPad accessories maker had let the cat out of the bag, or have they? This time they claim that the pictures you see are the actual shots of the back plate for the future iPad. It cracks me up that the same leaks that have plagued the PC and electronics industry have found their way into the Apple playground.

So although we cannot actually legitimately claim the images are real or fake they do however add fuel to an ever-growing fire that is burning under the ass of every Apple fan boy from here to Antarctica as to what the next gen iPad may just look like. This is what we have heard though; this is the prototype for the back plate to the 5th generation iPad with a 9.7-inch display. By the looks you can se that the model would be the LTE type as the black antennae suggests.  What was first thought to be a March release this year has now been said to be pushed back until mid October. It has also been reported that Apple will release a new 4th generation iPad model that may feature 128GB of available onboard storage.  Having a mid-cycle update could prove to be a factor that points that the iPad’s true successor to the throne is still not ready for prime time.  It seems to me that Apple is just making small waves in the pool to keep attention fixated on them until the big release most fans are waiting. Be on the lookout for the iPhone 5S a crappy plastic version of the iPhone and another iPad mini with Retina Display, I say don’t hold your breath on any of these, but just wait and see what happens. Thanks for reading.
