Apple.pro has showed us a listing on the online commerce website TaoBao that listing a mockup of a 7.85-inch iPad with the skinnier side bezels. The mockup details appear to match the rumors reported by iMore, 9to5Mac and Apple pundit John Gruber.
Specifically, the mockup, seen below, calls for the smaller bezels along the sides of the device in portrait mode. Also interesting, it depicts a smaller dock connector said to be deployed across upcoming iOS devices, as well as separate volume buttons and a mic on the back.
It also has an antenna cutout at the top of the device and another one for a SIM-card slot, suggesting that Apple will release both WiFi and cellular versions of the mini iPad.
Another mockup comes by way of the German website Giga.de, which discovered an interesting case model at the IFA show in Berlin, Germany and featuring an all-metal appearance.
The top image shows the mockup pictured next to an iPhone 4S, giving a good indication of the possible size of the iPad mini relative to the iPhone.
Ugly enough, I have to say.
