Did Apple kill the physical home button on the next-gen iPad? (with photo)

“It seems pretty likely that the invitation to Apple’s iPad 3 event (below) includes a shot of the new model,” Ryan Faas writes for Cult of Mac.

“The display is particularly sharp and smooth – just like the anticipated retina display for the device,” Faas writes.

“The spacing of the icon’s on the iPad 3 pictured on the invite clearly indicate that it’s in portrait orientation rather than landscape,” Faas writes. “But there’s no sign of a home button, a design change that Apple has been allegedly been toying with for some time.”

  1. Don’t think it’s the iPad. Check out the size if the bezel in relation to the size of the thumb nail? On the iPad my nail covers the bezel. On this pic the thumb nail doesn’t. No way is the bezel of the 3 going to be wider. So what is it? The TV??
