Apple.pro, an Apple-based Taiwanese forum, leaked what looks like an iPad 3 or iPad HD part into the wild. The part is labeled with “821-1259-06″ and appears to be a dock connector with a ribbon cable attached to it. It’s interesting that this ribbon cable makes a 90-degree turn as opposed to the straight cable on the iPad 1 and 2.
Apple.pro claims this part originated from Apple’s “internal inventory” and was leaked by an anonymous source. Apple.pro has been reliable in the past and provided accurate information on leaked Apple parts such as the sixth generation iPod Nano. Stay tuned for more
