Apple's purported iPad Mini could offer a rear camera if the
latest scuttbut is on the money.
Alleged Chinese cases for the much-rumored 7-inch tablet
posted by Giz-China.com show a plastic clip on the rear cover, a sign that the
iPad Mini could provide a rear-facing camera but one without an LED flash. On
the front would be a Facetime camera at the top center of the screen, just like
on the 9.7-inch iPad.
The cases also seemingly reveal a thinner bezel than the one
on the larger iPad. The volume control would rest on the right side, while the
headphone jack and rotation/mute toggle switch would move to the left. Another
tidbit from Giz-China.com says the speaker would be positioned Apple iPhone 4S
- 32GB - black (Verizon Wireless)on the bottom of the tablet rather than on the
back.
A mockup of one of the cases also reveals a smaller dock
connector. Recent reports suggest that Apple will shrink the size of the dock
connector for its next-generation devices to a smaller version using as few as
8 pins.
As always, these rumors should be swallowed with a grain of
salt.
At this point, we don't even know for sure whether Apple
will unveil a 7-inch iPad. But we could have our answer this fall. Reports say
the new iPad could take the stage either at a September 12 event or at its own
separate event in October.
