I'd think the same, but if I remember right @tomchai pointed out some small differences between the two that I wasn't aware of. Hope he can help with this too. Why the h.. we can't get any schematics of these.. :/

iPad 5 did not have the mute switch, necessitating a different case and volume button flex, but I don't remember the charging port flex being any different.
