With Apple’s iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C unveiling scheduled to take place in less than two weeks, attention has definitely turned to the company’s next-generation smartphones as photos, videos and details continue to leak. Let’s not forget, however, that Apple also reportedly has an updated iPad mini with a Retina display and a completely redesigned full-size iPad in the works. The latter has leaked a few times already, but a new gallery of high-quality photos was published on Wednesday by Sonny Dickson, who has become known for leaking images of components from purported unreleased Apple devices.

An image of what was claimed to be the rear panel from Apple’s fifth-generation iPad leaked back in January, revealing a big redesign that adopts the look of the iPad mini. These newly leaked photos of the iPad 5’s front panel reaffirm that notion, thanks to the much thinner bezel around the display opening.

Several images of the leaked iPad front panel follow below and the rest can be seen on Dickson’s site, which is linked in our source section.
