Supposed iPad 2 photos from China

by Dana Franklin Mar 2nd 2011 at 12:35PM

Say hello to iPad 2?

Yesterday, the Chinese website DGtle posted photos of what they claim to be the next-generation of iPad [original Chinese post]. The photos look reasonably legitimate and depict dual cameras, larger speakers, and a thinner, more rounded design reminiscent of the latest iPod touch. Notably missing are a standard USB port, SD card slot, and integrated mini-fridge.

Although the photos appear to be real, it's possible this is a prototype or knock-off and not the final product we anticipate hearing more about in a matter of minutes.

And, of course, the photos tell us little about the guts of the device.

Oh my god, who cares? They are going to announce the real one within 5-45 minutes... Why don't you just exercise patience and find out instead of fueling a rumor machine.

The only reason I see for posting this is for "street cred" so in the instance they do actually release this design within moments, you can go "look! We had it first! STREET CRED"

Please be more journalistic, and stop acting like highschoolers spreading gossip...

Yep, I think that's it. For sure I think it's just a shell prototype without a real screen (and the wifi cover will be black), but I think that's the form factor and appearance of the new iPad, like it or not!

please explain why you are even publishing these seven minutes before an apple announcement.

I also try to avoid shopping for Christmas presents on Christmas Eve. Some years, it happens anyway.

Better late than never.

it's most definitely a printout of a iPad home screen placed under a screen. Could be a prototype / non working shell of a new iPad with a picture under the screen?

Looks like they have a case, and the image is a paper insert. The white 3G part etc.

I call fake...no facetime app on the screen, and there are no folders or other pages it could be on...

The screen image isn't even straight. Look at the left and right edges. It looks like it's tilted.
