iPad 3 and iPhone 5 parts leaked online, pointing towards an upcoming launch

6 Aug

The iPad 3 may be coming soon, according to these leaks of Apple iPad 3 internal parts online.

First appearing on the website of online reseller SW-box, these supposed iPad 3 internal parts were found by 9to5 Mac. It seems like we do not have to wait long for a new Apple iPad.

iPad 3 full external button control cabling system?

9to5 Mac reports that the part seen on top is basically the full external button control cabling system for the rumored iPad 3. It consists of the power switch, volume keys, and silent/ringer switch. The materials used to build this component is the same as those used for the current generation of iPad 2 but the structure and locations of switches are completely different. These indicates that the new iPad 3 will have a different internal structure from the iPad 2 which leads to further speculation of a thinner and more sleek design for the iPad 3.

While this part may not be terribly interesting,  it does tells us iPad 3 is no longer just a mere rumor and that parts for it are already in production, perhaps even turning up in Apple stores worldwide in September or October.

iPhone 5 parts emerged online

The Apple rumor mills seem to be working overtime today as news surface of a iPhone 5 internal part emerging online.

iPhone 5 proximity light sensor

This here is rumored to be iPhone 5’s proximity light sensor. It would seem like Apple is gearing up production for both iPhone 5 and iPad 3 at the same time.

Perhaps come September, we will be treated to a simultaneous launch of both iDevices i.e. iPhone 5 and iPad 3. That will definitely shoot Apple’s sales figure through the roof.
