iPad 3 Leaked Front Panel

The folks at RepairLabs got their hands on the digitizer, as well as the back housing of the new iPad 3. From their observations, except for a few internal tweaks, the appearance of the iPad 3 seems to be largely similar to that of the iPad 2.  RepairLabs writes not much has changed in the look of your iPad. With the back housing in hand, and now with this piece [digitizer], we can confirm your iPad will look a lot like the iPad 2, just that 1mm thicker. The picture above also proves that we will have the home button on the iPad 3, contrary to some reports that came out yesterday. We also can see that Apple is planning to have both black and white models of the iPad 3, which is not surprising. The digitizer connection, RepairLabs notes, has been changed, indicating the inclusion of a newer logic board, presumably for the Retina Display. Apple's media event is scheduled for the 7th of this month. Will you be the first to line up at your local Apple Retail Store? Let us know!
