New iPad prototype leaks out, alongside cases hinting at a slimmer tablet

Only if it doesn't impact battery size in a way that reduces performance.
I absolutely agree!
Phones & tablets barely get by now with their "screen lit" time.
Well, that's subjective.
I get by, but I also plug in for a jump-charge during the day.

And as screens & backlites improve in efficiency , will that extend run time?
No, we'll get slimmer devices.
 
You guys needed to remember that SoCs and other components are also getting die shrinks which reduces power consumption as well.

Yet makers never seem to produce a product with what we'd call "long" battery life.

With the new intel haswell chips it appears that laptops are approaching that point.
