A new report suggests that apple might be working on a next generation ipad with a wide screen display something that it would inherit from the new iphone5.An apple examiner suggest that there are ipad prototypes that are worked on at apple that have 16:9 screen ratio.
Switching to widescreen would make sense that apple has already applied those strategy to iphone5,apple says that video works better on 16:9 screen ratio,they also said that they are working on Airplay Mirroring something that would work better on widescreen such as 16:9 ratio.
Still, there are technical challenges to a change in aspect ratio that could affect end user experience. Sizing up the iPad is not as attractive an option as it is on the iPhone, since the device is already 10 inches and going larger is basically the opposite of what most expect the company to do. Putting out a slimmer device width-wise is more feasible now that Lightning requires less room than the 30-pin dock connector, but taking away horizontal space would mean offering less total usable screen area, something which seems like a step back in user experience design.
