Rumor: The iPad Mini will not be HD, sports a 4:3 ratio

Rumor: The iPad Mini will not be HD, sports a 4:3 ratio

It was easy to assume that since Apple's last iOS device went widescreen, we'd see the iPad mini go to a 16:9 form factor as well. However, according to some leaked pics from ETrade Supply, it looks like Apple's smallest tablet will be sporting the same 4:3 ratio as full-size iPads. The leak also tips the dimensions: the screen is 162mm long and 124mm wide. These photos answer a whole bunch of questions we had about the device we'll probably see revealed on October 23. The text on the back of the display says it's manufactured by LG Display (which we kind of suspected) and the markings seem legit and in line with other Apple parts.
