The next-generation iPad mini, on the other hand, will see its volume production postponed from September to November.

Today's image of the day is an alleged front panel of the iPad 5 featuring an iPad mini design with bezels.

The page was discovered by ekim over on NeoGAF, who so kindly took a screenshot of the page for everyone's viewing pleasure. It was probably an accident on EA's part. The company usually creates pages like this for announced, upcoming and current games, but since Mirror's Edge ... more -

The video comes from Vietnamese-language site Tinhte.vn, and gives a good indication of what a smaller full-sized iPad could potentially look like.

Apple may be shifting some of its production away from Foxconn to Pegatron, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Apple has relied heavily on Foxconn in the past to produce many of its devices, including iPhones and iPads. There are many legitimate reasons why Apple would want to shift more of their production from Foxconn to Pegatron:People familiar with the matter point to strategic reasons for the shift: risk diversification after Foxconn's manufacturing glitches last year with the iPhone 5 that resulted in scratches on the metal casings, and Apple's decision to expand its product lines amid ... more
