Mockup aims to show what a 13-inch iPad would look like

CiccareseDesign has created a new iPad mockup based on rumors that Apple is fiddling with 13-inch screens, though it is quite likely that this product won’t materialize any time soon.

Commissioned by MacRumors after two independent reports (one by the WSJ) said Apple was testing a bigger iPad, the rendering pictured above is the work of CiccareseDesign, an Italian studio with a great deal of Apple concepts attributed to it.

Their latest work is this so-called “iPad maxi” (not only is the tablet far fetched, but this name shouldn’t even be considered plausible). It’s supposed to be a larger version of the iPad boasting a super-high resolution (HD) display, making it an alternative even to the MacBook Air (for some users).

While I certainly wouldn’t mind to see any Apple prototype in the flesh, I’m afraid it’s a bit early for this one. But who knows, maybe Apple has a whole strategy behind it. We’ll see come fall 2013.
