A new report suggests that Apple might be working on a next-generation iPad with a widescreen display, something that it would inherit from the new iPhone 5.

Mueller says he’s spoken to “at least three” separate sources “close to Apple” who all agree that a widescreen iPad is in the works, and that this doesn’t refer to an iPad mini, but a full-sized iPad successor. He also says he’ll have more info to add in the coming weeks. Read the full story at TechCrunch.
