Just after posting photos of a purported metal engineering sample of the
next-generation iPhone's massing, Gotta Be Mobile has now posted photos of a
similar physical model of the "iPad mini".
The model appears to be a case maker's mold that shows the basic shape of
the device, so it is unknown whether it accurately reflects the device's
form factor. While case designs have proven accurate a number of times in
the past, a significant number of case makers were fooled into designing for
a tapered iPhone design last year that did not come to fruition.
According to the report, a pixel count on the photos suggests that the iPad
mini will measure approximately 213 mm by 143 mm and be slightly thinner
than the full-size iPad.
What we’ve found, using a pixel count, is that the iPad Mini should be
around 213.36mm tall and about 143.67mm wide. This is approximately two-
thirds of the size of the new third-generation iPad. The new iPad is 185.
67mm wide, 241.3mm tall, and 9.39mm thick.
Google’s Nexus 7 tablet has a width of 120mm which means that the iPad Mini
, if our calculations are close, might be around 23.67mm wider than the
Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 tablet measures in at 198.5mm high which means that the
iPad Mini may be a little taller than Google’s 7-inch tablet.
The mockup also includes a smaller dock connector as has been rumored by a
number of sources, as well as two speaker grilles along the bottom edge of
the device. |
