These dummy next-gen #iPad enclosures have been floating around in China recently. They depict a triple-lens camera, which has been rumored. Dummies like these are typically used by case manufacturers to get ready for new Apple devices. Video coming later this week.

It’s a dummy enclosure. It’s made to fit cases. Not claiming to be a real ipad
 

 
I still want a single-camera iPad, where the camera lies in an inset along the face of short edge and can be pulled out on a stiff gooseneck and aimed by hand, instead of having to aim the whole unit. It would make FaceTime as well as photography more practical (and there could be a small mirror or reflecting prism in the end of the slot so that FaceTime could be done without raising the camera). Having it out of the way most of the time would help protect the lens from damage or smudges, which is not something having four specialist cameras helps with.
