Knowing the accuracy of the iPhone 5 leaks and the increased number of photos of the 7.8-inch iPad parts from the same sources, I have almost no doubt that this is a real, fully working Apple iPad mini. That means that the launch must be really close right now.The Chinese site Bolopad claims that these are exclusive shots of the real McCoy. Looking at past evidence, Im afraid that we will have to believe them. It looks like all the other parts we have seen before: the holy daughter of a virgin iPad and the original JesusPhone.I have to admit that Im starting to think that all these leaks cant be just a coincidence. The iPhone 5 has been the most broadly leaked product in Apples history. The new iPad mini is going to be the next. It almost feels like Apple is letting these products out of the factories to control market expectations and backlash from the press and consumers. Or perhaps Foxconns workers are getting smarter at smuggling them out the factory. Or things have gotten so massive that its impossible to control.
