Leaked iPad 3 Microphone Flex Cable Hints at Major Redesign?

TVC-Mall has posted images of what is supposedly an iPad 3 Microphone Flex Cable, reports Cydia Blog. The site suggests that a major redesign is in store for Apple's tablet based on differences found when comparing to the part to the iPad 2's.

The new part, when compared with iPad 2, shows a different arrangement in internal circuitry, hinting a major re-design. The tail end of the part makes a "U-turn", whereas the iPad 2′s Microphone Mic Flex Cable makes almost 90-degree turn both ways. Except for few details, the leaked part so far doesn't offer a tantalizing tease.


Apple is widely expected to release a Retina Display iPad around February of next year. The device will likely support CDMA/GSM and could use a new A6 chip. Although its internals will likely undergo a major change, it's unlikely that there will be any drastic changes to the outside of the device.
