I hope no one has patented a more elongated rectangle, otherwise Apple could be in hot water.

Seriously go and tell these stupid memes someplace else. It's not funny, witty or insightful. It's just stupid.

Dude, grow up. One of the patents apple has sued over related to the shape of the iphone:

The D’677 and D’087 patents relate to specific aspects associated with the iPhone, namely, the design choice of a black transparent and glass-like front surface, and the rectangular shape, rounded corners, bezel, speaker placement, and the horizontal shape of the speaker.†

I believe that this was rejected by the court, but Apple still tried to sue over it. Not cool. So I will stand by my comment thank you very much and ask you please to keep things civil on our beloved HN.

I'm having a hard time believing Apple would put it out with the back camera not evenly spaced from the sides. Anyone know "how confirmed" this is?

My first guess would be that it's a rejected prototype.

Given all the previous models didn't have evenly spaced cameras... Why?

So they are slowly moving towards a smaller iPad.

I guess Apple must have patented "bigger size"

Photoshopped.
