Apple's launch of the iPhone 5 going to be on wednesday,
French blog Nowhereelse has shifted gears and posted a number of leaked iPad mini photos.The smaller tablet is still not confirmed, and there are no specific details regarding the size, weight, or capacity of a possible iPad mini, but the blog posted eight photos allegedly snagged from the Asian site DGtle.com.
An August report from Digitimes says that the iPad's mini will be sized around 7.85 inches, with a thinner screen frame and bigger display, as well as resolution similar to the iPad 2.
In the leaked photos some details showing off rear-facing camera, the black Apple logo and "iPad" moniker, and the white cover are visible.
The French blog remained cautious about the posted pictures, and pointed out that the photos could actually be "simple Chinese clone."
For a true comparison of iDevices, one photo places an iPhone 4S inside a potential iPhone 5 case, inside of an iPad mini shell, and inside of the current tablet casing. As Nowhereelse pointed out, the location of the holes cut into the backing correspond perfectly with the position of the device's components.
A smaller version of Apple's iPad would help the company expand its tablet offerings, moving into the territory currently held by Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's new Kindle Fire HD – both 7-inch, less pricey devices.
Last week, Nowhereelse released leaked photos of an alleged iPhone 5 8-pin dock connector.
Tomorrow, Apple is expected to unleash its next-generation smartphone, and while there was once speculation that a new iPad would be included in the announcement, an August report tipped an October release for the miniature device.
