New renders tease iPad 5 in Apple Store setting ahead of Oct. 22 unveiling

If you’re impatiently waiting to see the new iPad 5 in the Apple Store, your wait is over – virtually, anyway. Martin Hajek has created some new renders that show the new slimmer-bezel iPad 5 in an Apple Store setting.

The iPad 5 is expected to have the same slim bezel design as the current iPad Mini, to be thinner and lighter than the current model, available in the same colors as the iPhone 5s, be powered by the same A7 chip and to have a larger-aperture 8MP rear camera. It’s not yet clear whether or not it will have a Touch ID fingerprint sensor. It is due to be announced on 22nd October.

Concept imagines iPad mini 2 in blue and gold [Gallery]

We’ve already seen some sketchy leaks claiming to show photos of gold and space gray iPads that match the new colors unveiled with the iPhone 5s, and today designer Martin Hajek posted his latest concept showing what a champagne gold and blue iPad mini might look like.

While there hasn’t been any reliable reports of specific colors for the new iPads, back in July The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple has been “contemplating multiple color back covers” for the iPad mini.

If the latest reports are to be believed, Apple is readying two new iPad models that could launch as early as this month. A new full-sized “iPad 5” is rumored to include a slimmer, iPad mini-like design that we first posted images of back in January, and rumor has it Apple’s refreshed second gen iPad mini will get a Retina display and improved internals. The most recent report claimed the new iPads will include upgraded 8 megapixel rear cameras with larger apertures.

More interesting iWatch concepts imagine iOS on the smaller screen, curved displays

The renderings above were sent to us by Edgar Rios, and he imagined what is probably best described as the evolution of Apple’s sixth-generation iPod nano watches. With Apple’s recent patent covering a slap wristband form factor, more concepts seem to be leaning toward a longer display that would take advantage of a flexible or curved display and not one that’s square (like the sixth-generation iPod nano) or circular like more traditional watch faces.

This next set of mock ups were done by designer Martin Hajek for the upcoming issue of MacUser magazine (via Gizmodo) and imagine more traditional materials for Apple’s much rumored watch product. Like the concept above, Martin’s appears to also imagine a scaled back version of iOS and is reminiscent of the sixth-generation iPod nanos.

iPhone concept imagines a 4.8-inch bezel-less display (Gallery)

Nowhereelse.fr posted another set of high-quality renders from designer Martin Hajek today that seem to be the illegitimate lovechild of a Samsung Galaxy device and the iPhone 5. In the images below, we get the designer’s take on a 4.8-inch “iPhone 6” with a super thin bezel and black and silver anodized backs. He’s also included a 4-inch version of the concept that clearly takes cues from Samsung’s Galaxy devices.
