Purported images of next-gen iPad shell leak out

　　Just days before the expected launch of two new much-anticipated iPhones on Tuesday, more images have emerged of what's purported to be Apple's next-generation iPad.
　　Sonny Dickson, who is a frequent leaker of all things Apple, on Sunday posted an extensive gallery of alleged 5th-generation iPad parts, including an assembled shell that appears identical to previous image leaks. If legitimate, the photos appear to buttress previous image leaks and rumors that the iPad 5 will take many of its design cues from the iPad Mini, with a thinner profile and more rounded edges and corners.
　　Previous purported leaks from Dickson included images of what appeared to be the front panelof the iPad 5.
　　While Apple has planned a media event for Tuesday at which many expect new iPhones to be unveiled, company observers don't expect a new iPad 5 or iPad Mini to be announced at the event. "It contradicts everything we've heard thus far about Apple's fall iOS Device launch plans from our sources," 9to5Mac concluded.
