Giulio Zompetti, a very knowledgeable Twitter user, had already delighted us last year witha prototype iPod touch (third generation) with a back camera. The Internet user is a specialist when it comes to finding Apple products from another era, which have not been marketed. Last week, the latter shared photos of a new tablet from the Californian brand.

Such a configuration would then make it possible to stabilize it both in portrait mode and in landscape orientation, so for example that you can watch a series on Netflix by plugging the socket into a dock. Now rather rare, these accessories were legion before the Lightning arrived and many speakers then offered this connection rather than a simple jack.

Here, on the other hand, it would be the very first generation of the tablet. Equipped with a9.7 inch screenand wide borders compared to current trends, it ran thanks to an Apple A4 processor supported by 256 MB of RAM.

When it was released in 2010, the article quickly won over the crowds, pushing its manufacturer to reissue it the following year. Since then, several versions have emerged, including the iPad Pro - with high-end features - and the iPad mini. There is also the iPad Air, which is alreadyits fourth version available in multiple colors and with a sharper design than before.

An influence still perceptible

Despite everything, it seems that the idea of ​​the double dock seems to have made some headway in the Cupertino premises. Thus, even if the concept in question will never have been sold, today we find theSmart Connectoron the longer side of some iPads. This is where the Magic Keyboard and the Smart Folio come in.
