Earlier today, we pointed to some grainy photos of an early iPad prototype
dating back to the 2002-2004 timeframe, revealing a much bulkier but
otherwise fairly similar design to that seen in the device that was
ultimately launched in 2010.
Buzzfeed has now posted new photos showing the prototype in full color next
to an iPad 2, a comparison which shows the prototype to carry a much larger
screen than seen on the iPad to date. Measuring pixel counts against the
ruler shown in several of the photos reveals that the prototype device had a
display measuring almost exactly 12 inches diagonally.
Compared to the eventually-released iPad's 9.7-inch screen, the prototype
device would have had roughly 40% more screen real estate, although it is
unknown at what resolution the early device was projected to run.
The prototype otherwise bears a distinct similarity to Apple's iBook of the
time, carrying a white plastic shell with rounded corners and a 4:3 aspect
ratio for the display. The prototype iPad measures in at just under 1-inch
thick, compared to 1.35 inches for the white iBook models and the 0.34-0.50
inch range of the iPad models released to the public so far. |
