So Apple is going to release a new version of the ipad next year, and as with any hotly-anticipated new product, it seems like new rumors about the device pop up at least once a week. The latest bit of speculation comes from Japanese blogMac Otakara, who claims that the iPad 2 will feature a bezel that's 3mm thinner, a flat back, the very same 9.7-inch screen size, an overall slightly smaller size (239 x 186 mm compared to the current iPad's 242.8 x 189.7 mm size), and, finally, a new "wide-range speaker," which is what you see in the render up above. Like we've heard from previous rumors, Mac Otakara believes that the iPad 2 will begin shipping from factories in January, which would line up with an april launch.
We all expect that Apple is going to tweak the iPad at least a little bit for the next version, and a lot of today's rumor seems like a pretty safe bet since it's not really too "out there." The case will likely be a little thinner, I doubt we'll see a new iPad display size, and while I never would've really thought about Apple including a new kind of speaker, it certainly wouldn't surprise me. That new speaker would fit nicely in the cutouts that we saw in recently leaked classes, so don't be surprised if the iPad 2 pumps out some better audio in April next year. Do you have any other iPad 2 predictions that others may have missed?
