After months of reported production woes, it looks like Apple will unveil a Retina-equipped iPad mini this week after all.

Leaked photos of the fifth-generation iPad show that Apple is making its larger tablet look a lot more like the iPad mini, with thinner side bezels and more sharply defined edges on the casing.
