Dutch website OneMorThing published two photos of what could be the next iPad's screen and frame. It's perfectly possible that the leak is illegitimate, but it does contain some clues about stuff that we're yet to see in the current crop of iPads. Although the frame looks identical to the iPad Air at first glance, there is a great difference in how it's supposed to fit the display. It seems the display is directly glued on to the rear of the frame, just like in Apple's Retina MacBook Pro laptops.
This design decision could facilitate a thinner device overall, and/or help Apple fit a slightly larger battery inside. And while that's uncertain, it's a sure bet that the glued display will make repairs very complicated. If the next iPad ships like this, it probably won't win any accolades by iFixIt, but we assume its teardown wizards will be up for the challenge.
Unlike the iPhone 6, the next iPad isn't leaking especially often. What we've been clued in so far is that the tablet will feature Apple's Touch ID fingerprint identification technology, a TSMC-produced A8 64-bit processor, and an 8MP main camera. Additionally, Apple is working on a 12.9-inch iPad for next year. It will take the time to build special productivity features that will make sense of its large display.
